Mangalore, February 18: A woman along with the support of her son killed her daughter-in-law in a fit of rage at Apperipade village in Vittal Kasba Hobli of Bantwal taluk near here and surrendered herself at a police station on Thursday.

The victim Saraswathi (27) breathed her last on the spot after being fatally attacked by her mother-in-law with a sickle. Her body bore more than 20 injuries.

According to pre-investigation reports, a clash between the accused Parwathi (60) and the Saraswathi over a trivial issue of selling land at Vitlla Kasba led to latter's tragic end.

Villagers said the family frequently witnessed quarrels over selling their land and it is said that Saraswathi was preventing her mother-in-law from selling the land which they reside.

On Thursday morning, Parvathi said to have picked a quarrel and in fit of rage fatally attacked her daughter-in-law with a sickle before surrendering herself at Vittal police station.

Two sickles have been found at the spot indicating that two persons would have committed the crime together. On suspicion basis, victim's husband Ravish Naik (32) too has been arrested.

Lohithashwa, the four year old son of Saraswathi-Ravish couple is said to be the eyewitness to the entire incident and it is learnt that the little boy has told the police that his father and grand-mother killed his mother. However, the little boy is said to be shell shocked.

Meanwhile, Saraswathi's father in a complaint to the police said that a quarry owner in the vicinity is suspected to be the conspirator of the murder.

Puttur ASP Rohini Katoch and Bantwal Inspector Nanjunde Gowda had visited the spot.

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Controversial Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan will remain in state-syllabus textbooks in the next academic year (2020-21) too. But the government will form another committee to look at the subject afresh.

"Efforts are on to give textbooks and uniforms the day schools open next academic year. After a discussion with the CM, we decided to not make any changes in the textbooks for the upcoming academic year,"said primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar.

No political angle, says minister

However, we will form a committee to look into it again,” said the minister.

Three months ago, Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan had written to the minister seeking removal of contents on Tipu Sultan from Karnataka state syllabus books of classes 6,7 and 10. The minister said: “Appachu Ranjan is a five-time MLA. When he sent a letter, it’s my duty to seek an opinion on it. There’s no political angle here.”

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples. 

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.
