Students condemn cops for snail's pace probe in murder cases

January 15, 2013

Mangalore, Jan 15: Members of All College Students' Association, Mangalore, have condemned the 'negligence' on part of the police and investigation agencies in failing to nab the culprits of Soujanya and Deepika murder cases.

Addressing media persons at Press Club in Mangalore on Tuesday, Uttam Alva, President, ACSA, DK, said that even though Soujanya rape and murder case is being handled by the COD, no arrests have been made still, which is condemnable.

“The investigation agencies concerned are not revealing any piece of information to the public about the case. There is a clear negligence on the part of authorities. Even in connection to the Deepika murder case, in spite of ACSA visiting the Ullal police station trying to follow up on the investigation and urge for arrests of culprits, the response from the police has not been encouraging”, he said.

The negligence of police and investigative agencies in these cases is a matter of concern for the student community. In the coming days, an intensified campaign demanding justice for Soujanya and Deepika would be organized by the ACSA under the guidance of Esha Vittaladasa Swamiji, he added.

The Association is also organizing a state-level inter-collegiate variety entertainment competition 'Kala Sangama 2013' on January 16.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.
