Father of accused in murder of Karnataka college student calls for severe punishment for his son
Bengaluru: After the daughter of a Congress corporator in Karnataka was stabbed to death by a former classmate, the father of the accused expressed remorse and called for his son to be "punished in such a way that no man thinks of harassing a woman." The accused, Fayaz, allegedly killed Neha Hiremath, the victim, for rejecting his advances.
Baba Saheb Subani, Fayaz's father, stated that he was shocked by the incident and said that his son should be punished to deter others from committing similar acts. He also apologised to Neha's family, describing her as a daughter to him.
Niranjan Hiremath, Neha's father, revealed that Fayaz had been pressuring Neha to accept his proposal, which she had refused. Despite warnings from Neha's family and others, the harassment continued, leading to Neha's tragic death.
The incident took place on the campus of KLE Technological University, where both Neha and Fayaz were students. Fayaz, who was injured during the attack, was arrested and placed in 14-day judicial custody.
The murder has sparked protests, with demands for justice and safety for women on campus. Members of the Muslim community also staged a protest, calling for severe punishment for the accused.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah condemned the incident and directed the state DGP to take stern action against the accused. Leader of Opposition R Ashoka criticised the state's law and order situation, while former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai called for the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the incident.
