'Navy hand suspected behind Suvarna Tribhuja boat missing incident'
Pramod Madhawaraj's serious allegation
Udupi: Suspicion arises that Navy may be responsible behind the Suvarna Tribhuja boat missing incident. A Navy ship crashed into fishermen's boat. The Navy later dramatically searched for the boat. It is trying to keep this matter hidden until the elections are over, alleged Udupi Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency candidate Pramod Madhwaraj.
Addressing a press conference in Udupi's Congress Bhavan on Sunday, he said "It has been three months since the fishermen went missing and no clue has been found yet. It was not possible for the Navy to trace out fishermen with the boat."
"The central government, Minister Nirmala Sitaraman and MP Shobha Karandlaje, who have been completely unsuccessful in this case, have betrayed the fishermen," he alleged.
"In the last five years, the Centeral Government has not taken up any special schemes for fishers. Coastal MPs have completely been unsuccessful in providing justice to the fishermen," he said.
KPCC general secretaries GA Bava, MA Gafoor, former MLA UR Sabhapati, Congress district president Ashok Kumar Kodavooru, Bharat Moondody, Murali Shetty, Vishwas Amin, Prakhyat Shetty, and others were present.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
