?Action on Saujanya rape and murder case after CID submits report, says CM

October 27, 2013

Mysore, Oct 27: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah has made it clear that he would decide on the future course of action on Saujanya rape and murder case, after the CID submits its report.

Replying to queries of media persons, the CM said that he was aware of the demand to hand over the case to the CBI.

"The CID is probing the case and we have changed the investigation officer after a debate in the legislature. Let the CID submit its report and I'll decide on action later," he told reporters.

The II PU student of SDM College, Ujire, was raped and murdered on October 9, 2012 when she was on her way home after class.

Her family and several organizations have expressed reservations about the CID probe and are alleging that efforts are on to shield the culprits.

The chorus for a CBI probe into the case has been growing.

After Dharmadhikari of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, D Veerendra Heggade, demanded this at a public meeting in Ujire earlier this month, former CM DV Sadananda Gowda, and former Union minister B Janardhan Poojary too joined the chorus.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

News Network

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.
