Dhanyashree suicide case: Police targeting innocents, says BJP MP Shobha

Mudigere, Jan 13: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has urged the police not to arrest “innocents” in connection with the death of Dhanyashree, who had committed suicide last week after being tortured and threatened by the goons of saffron outfits.

Addressing presspersons during her visit to Mudigere, the hardline BJP leader said the police have arrested persons who had been to the girl’s place to “console” her.

When a few media persons questioned her whether she knows the difference between harassing and consoling, Karandlaje said that Congress was trying to politicise the issue.

“The people responsible for her death should be punished, but innocents should not face any difficulty,” she maintained.

She had spoken to the Superintendent of Police Annamalai about the incident. “I did speak to the girl’s mother as well. Whatever details I collected from her, I have shared the same with the police officer. The Congress government should stop politicising the incident,” Karandlaje said.

The 20-year-old student of Mudigere’s DSBG College had committed suicide on January 6, unable to bear the harassment by Hindutva goons. She was repeatedly warned by activists of BJP and Bajrang Dal against praising Muslims and befriending Muslim boys.

In her death note Dhanyashree had named five Hindutva activists who had barged into her house and threatened her. However, according to Karandlaje, the Hindutva activists had visited her house to console her!

Shame on this lady. for her political milage she even not sprarring a death of a innocent girl also that to from her own constituency. How can we expect this lady will do good. Realy upsetting statement.

What is wrong with Shobakka, let police do their work why she is interfering, Annamalai is not giving any importance to her. Actually she want to become a Minister. If her own party people involved, she say they are innocent. What type of monopoly is this ? Why Yeddi is not advising her to keep quite.

Undu onji bhayankara saamaan marrrre

Hum nahin sudarenghe what she tells.These two mp are the main culprits creating problems. Since the girl clearly mentioned bjp sponsored criminals name n her parents are also confirmed than what proof shobha wants. So there is no any law for bjp criminals. Day by day she is omitting poison now comments against our police dept shameless lady. How people elected her?

Shobhakka trying to make dark by closing eyes. People knows the truth and goon should be punished

Please stop your show. #justice_for_dhanyashree

She dont have shame to tell goon did consolation to her. Might be in BJP harrassing means it consolation

Aey Sho-bhakka, Its political issue only. Because of your communal mind everything happened.

BJP may get some political gain if they expell and do something for the punishment of goon santhosh

They are prooving again and again that they are communal party.

Shame on you shobha.. If you are good leader should support the punishment of those goons. Because of them one poor girl's life ended

Mangaluru’s ₹1,200 crore fix: Massive sewage overhaul to end city’s drainage woes

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

• Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

• STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

• Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
