Manipal, Jul 29: The Manipal gang-rape case is a month old now and the police are still awaiting the DNA test reports.

All the accused have been subjected to preliminary round of investigation but the cops have faced a little inconvenience in proceeding with the case as the DNA reports of the accused have not been received.

The sources in the department say that they can submit the charge-sheet without the DNA report too but if they submit it with the DNA reports, they would be completing a very important stage in inquiry.

At the DNA testing centres, several old cases are still pending, hence, one cannot exactly say as to when the reports will be out, says Udupi SP Dr M B Boralingaiah.

Though the accused have been taken to the spot, Parade has not been conducted. The victim has given her statement. The police department is positive of preparing a strong charge sheet with the DNA report and various circumstantial evidences.

The gang-rape happened on June 20 and on June 27 three accused were in police net.

It may be recalled that the prime accused Yogish was nabbed by the police in a crucial state after the accused made an attempt to kill himself by consuming poison. Later Hariprasad and Anand too were nabbed.

Anand too had attempted suicide. It is said that situation of Anand is not as serious as Yogish.

The victim who left the Manipal Hospital after treatment has not yet returned to Manipal.

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
