Karnataka Rashtra Samithi demands thorough investigation into Mahesh Reddy's death case
Bengaluru: Karnataka Rashtra Samithi State President Ravi Krishna Reddy has demanded that an unbiased investigation be conducted in the death case of Mahesh Reddy, a close acquaintance of Health Minister B Sriramulu.
Mahesh Reddy alias Umamaheshwar Reddy, a native of Ballari district, had died under mysterious circumstances on May 29.
Ravi Krishna Reddy, who has written to Praveen Sood, Karnataka DG and IGP, said that the media has been claiming that, although Mahesh Reddy had died in the residence of Sriramulu, his body was taken to Ballari where his death was declared to be a natural death.
The body has not been subjected to a Corona test. It is also learned that, in spite of suspicion of unnatural death, no postmortem was conducted. There are also serious allegations raised regarding the incident. The death should, therefore, be closely investigated, Ravi Krishna Reddy has requested the DG and IGP.
There are rumors of Mahesh Reddy having learned of police officers being hand-in-glove with illegal cigarette vendors. He is also said to have been involved in the illegal use of crores of rupees that the government had granted for the purchase of medical equipment for Corona control, said Ravi Krishna Reddy.
He stressed that the case was serious in many ways and urged the police officer to ensure that an unbiased investigation was conducted.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
