The Cell has also written to Director of Medical Education and Principal of Medical Education regarding Kasturba Medical College which charged Rs 75,000 fees for a Dalit student.

Devappa Hydangoor of Sullia urged the police officers to arrest Markanja Gram Panchayat President, Secretary and a Staff who allegedly involved in the financial irregularities of Rs. 42 lakh between 2005 and 2010. Since 75% of beneficiaries are Dalits, Dalit organisations will take out a massive protest, he said and urged the police authorities to arrest the accused before August 15.
