Moodbidri, March 9: The Moodbidri police have finally made a breakthrough in the investigation of the mysterious disappearance of 'Apadbandhava Ashok', a resident of Korangallu in Hudko Colony, more than a year ago.


Addressing media persons in a press briefing at the Mangalore Police Commissionerate, Seemanth Kumar Singh, Mangalore City Police Commissioner, revealed that Ashok, who was an affable person and liked by one and all in the Moodbidri area, was killed by his wife Chandravati on December 7, 2010.

The police have also arrested the woman and have also subjected son of the couple and Ashok's brother Sathish to inquiry.

The background:

Ashok had returned home on the morning of December 7 after completing his night shift and straight away slipped into sleep.

Chandravati, after confirming that her husband was asleep, bludgeoned him to death with grinding stone, the police said.

Although Mr. Singh declined to reveal the hint the police recieved to get a breakthrough in a year old case, it is being reported that Ashok allegedly harassed his wife suspecting her of infidelity. After killing Ashok in the brutal manner, the dead body was cremated in the bathroom built on the verandah. The unburnt limbs were then buried on the compound.

After stealthily carrying out the 'mission grind stone', Chandravati went to Satish's house in Belthangady and complained that her husband has been missing.

Chandravati also confessed during the investigation that she had thrown the bones into the sea at Someshwar after packing them in a gunny bag.

Three days after the incident, she returned to Moodbidri and told the local people that Ashok was taken away by a motorbike-borne youth and also filed a complaint with the local police.

The police had treated it as a missing case. However, it is being reported that the woman overcome by a feeling of guilt, had revealed the true story to one of her friends and the clue was then passed on to the police, who renewed the investigation and found evidences against the woman.

Ashok had served in the homeguard for several years and had also worked as a security guard at Dhavala College. He was also involved in social work and was known as 'Apadbandhava Ashok' for his humane qualities. He took extra interest in caring the orphans, urchins and explored ways to rehabilitate them. He was also a snake catcher and his services were sought whenever snakes were found in residential localities.

Mangaluru, Jul 26: Rubbishing reports about cancellation of institutional quarantine for international passengers in Mangaluru, local health authorities have clarified that 14 day isolation including first seven day institutional quarantine must for international passengers. 

For past couple of days rumours were doing rounds on social media that the government has done away with quarantine for international passengers. A few Mangaluru-based news portals also had published it as news without quoting any reliable sources. 

Meanwhile, district health officer in his clarification message said that neither Karnataka government nor Dakshina Kannada district administrant has revised the quarantine norms for international passengers. 

“Those who arrive from overseas must remain in isolation for 14 days. Out of this, seven days have to be spent in institutional quarantine (in hotel or lodge). During this period, the throat swab sample of the person will be sent for covid-19 testing. If the report is negative, then they will be sent to home quarantine for another seven days."

He said that concession in terms of number of days has only been given for people with other health conditions, children and the elderly. "For children below 10 years, pregnant women, elderly above the age of 60 years and other with other ailments, the throat swab will be collected on the second day of institutional quarantine. If the report turns negative, they will be sent to home quarantine for 14 days."

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The Karnataka government on Tuesday decided to adopt a no-fail approach for Class 7 examinations for government and private schools following the state syllabus.

The report card of a student doesn’t carry ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ remark, but points to his or her strengths and weaknesses in each subject in the exams, which will now be called Common Evaluation Exam.

The quality cell of the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (which conducts SSLC exams) will prepare question papers, which will be evaluated at the district level by government and private schoolteachers. The Class 7 exams will be held in March.

The Common Evaluation Exam follows the Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) currently practised under the Right to Education Act. “The formative and summative assessments (tests, projects and quizzes) will be held as usual,”KG Jagadeesha, commissioner of public instruction, said.

Edu dept to launch helpline by March

For the March exam, summative assessment 2 will be held with half the syllabus. Other modalities (exam duration and total marks) will be announced next week,” said KG Jagadeesha. The CCE system will continue for classes 8 and 9. The government hopes the exam and subsequent interventions in classes 8 and 9 will boost students’ confidence for crucial board examinations.

Minister S Suresh Kumar said, “More than an exam, it’s an evaluation of a child’s knowledge. The Belagavi division has done something similar. The Kalaburagi zone found mathematics and science were areas of concern; language was an issue in Urdumedium schools.” The minister said zilla panchayat CEOs have observed that intervention should start from class 8. “Keeping this in mind, we’ve started necessary preparation for class 7 exam ,” he added.

The education department will start a helpline by March for students, teachers, school managements and educationists to 11 raise problems on day-to-day issues.
