Kundapur, November 6: The family members of a girl who died in Kadali of Hosoor in Kundapur taluk have approached Udupi district in charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary appealing him to initiate investigation from senior officers as they are finding her death suspicious.

 

The deceased Sowmya went missing on October 29 and was found hanging apparently suggesting suicide on November 1. But family members are suspicious of her cause of death. Her brother Yogish met Mr. Poojary and requested him to look into the matter.

 

It is said that some peoplein the vicinity had been troubling Sowmya. She had set out of her house on October 29 at 2:00 pm in the afternoon and was found hanging by her choodidar shawl on a tree in a forest located amidst Reserve Forest area about 1 km away from her house.

 

Locals have reportedly said that they saw Sowmya leaving in a motorbike with another person. The question being asked is what was the need for Sowmya to commit suicide 1 km away while there were enough trees around her own house? It is being suspected that some people are behind her death and hence her brother has appealed for a higher level probe.

 

Her family members say that she had no reason to commit suicide as her wedding was fixed for November 23 and invitation cards had already been distributed among friends and relatives. She was speaking to some people over phone on the day she went missing and her phone records are likely to shed more light on her cause of death, they say.

Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said the situation in violence-hit Nagamangala town in Mandya district is peaceful now, and steps have been taken to ensure that no untoward incidents take place.

Clashes had broken out between two groups during the Ganesh idol procession in the town, following which mobs went on a rampage with stone pelting and targeting several shops and vehicles leading to tension on Wednesday night.

"Situation in Nagamangala is now peaceful and there is no problem there. I have also instructed officials to hold a peace meeting there. We have instructed officers to ensure that no untoward incidents take place, enough police force is also stationed there," Parameshwara told reporters here.

About 55 people have been arrested in connection with the incident and they have been sent to judicial custody, according to police sources.

Responding to a question on opposition parties including JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy raising doubts about the FIR, he said, "The police will do what has to be done in accordance with law..."

Asked about BJP sending a fact finding team to Nagamangala, the Home Minister said, "Let them find the facts and inform us, and if there is any fact from their fact finding, we will look into it. It will make our work a bit easier." The BJP panel consisting of MLA C N Ashwath Narayan, former Minister Byrathi Basavaraj, former Minister K C Narayana Gowda, state secretary Lakshmi Ashwin Gowda, and former IPS officer Bhaskar Rao, will visit the spot and submit a comprehensive report to the party in a week.

According to police, an argument had broken out between two groups, when the Ganesh idol procession by devotees from Badri Koppalu village reached a place of worship on Wednesday, and some miscreants hurled stones, which escalated the situation.
