February 24, 2016

Mandya, Feb 24: Frustrated over domestic disorder a woman, said to be a school teacher, poisoned her disabled son to death before committing suicide along with her three daughters at their house in Maradevanahalli village in Nagamangala taluk of Mandya district.

The deceased have been identified as Meenakshamma (48), her daughters Yogashri (25), Padma (23) and Suchitra (21). They poisoned Meenakshamma's son Manjegowda, 14, who was physically challenged, to death before hanging themselves.

According to sources, Meenakshamma's elder daughter Yogashri alias Mouna, was married to Umesh of Kadaba village in Tumakuru district, two months ago. The marriage did not last long as Umesh was allegedly harassing Yogashri both mentally and physically, for even petty reasons. Yogashri learnt that Umesh had an affair with his sister-in-law Nalina. Upset over this, she is said to have told her mother Meenakshamma and sisters about the matter. Dejected over this, the family members are said to have taken the extreme step.

It is said that Meenakshamma's husband Ramegowda had died due to cardiac arrest a few months ago. Both were said to be teachers and Meenakshamma was serving at the Government Higher Primary School, Nagathihalli.The village was shocked over the death of the whole family. The residents even staged a protest, blocking NH-75, demanding justice.

Meenakshamma has left a five-page death note. She wants her property to be transferred to Sri Sai Baba Anathashrama near Srirangapatna.

She has appealed for a mass funeral near the grave of her husband. She has requested the government to give her PF and other benefits to her sister Sudha and her job to one of her children. She has also sought stern punishment to Umesh and Nalina.Nagamangala DySP C N Janardhan, CPI Harish Babu and PSI Balu visited the spot. Bellur police have registered a case.

In india there are many organisation works on the guidelines of politicians but there is no single organisation works for the welfare of people for free of cost. Every organisation comes forward for their publicity and benefits. Political parties just take the benefits of innocent and needy people's sacrifices but do nothing for their families.

It is unfortunate that whole family took unwise and incorrect step. there are many ways to solve the issue. Culprits who forced hole family to meet the tragidy should be punished and penalised heavily.
RIP

SUICIDE IS NOT A SOLUTION FOR EVERYTHING ..... ALL YOUNG GIRLS.. SUICIDED VERY SAD MOVEMENT ... REALLY....

NEED PROPER PUNISHMENT FOR THAT BLOODY GUY././

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
