Moodigere: The Police here have arrested the Moodigere town unit BJP Yuva Morcha President M V Anil on the charges of instigating the suicide of Dhanya (20), a first year B.Com student of a first grade college in the town. Dhanya had ended her life on January 6, Saturday. Incidentally, the accused is said to be an influential man who is also known to Mysuru- Kodagu MP Pratap Sinha and MLA C T Ravi.
It is alleged that Anil along with other Sangh Parivar activists had recently been to the residence of the girl at Moodigere Chatra Maidan locality and had pulled her up for allegedly having friendship with a youth from another faith. The deceased girl was the only daughter of Yadava and Saraswathi couple.
It is said that a youth named Santosh of Belthangady had earlier chatted with Dhanya on WhatsApp wherein he had reportedly threatened her against having friendship with a youth of another community. He had taken the screenshot of the WhatsApp chat and had circulated it in the social media while also bringing the same to the notice of the Parivar activists.
It was following this that the latter had visited Dhanya's house and threatened her. Sources said they had told her parents that "their daughter was moving around with a Muslim boy and was a victim of Love Jihad."
It is believed that Dhanya who felt severely offended following this incident had taken the drastic step of ending her life by hanging herself on January 6 afternoon.
Though initially an attempt was made to hush up the incident by trying to state that she ended her life after her father snatched her mobile, later following allegations of shielding the accused, the cops filed FIR against four accused and managed to arrest one of them. The rest three are absconding and search is underway for them.
It is said Dhanya has even left behind a death note. Chikkamagaluru SP Annamalai has said that Police Department has taken this case very seriously.

New Delhi (PTI): A 32-year-old food delivery executive was stabbed to death when he allegedly intervened in a violent altercation between two groups in southwest Delhi's Dwarka, police said on Monday.
The deceased has been identified as Govind Jha, a resident of Mohan Garden.
Three others sustained stab injuries in the incident and are currently undergoing treatment at a hospital, they said.
Authorities also cautioned against attempts to give the incident a communal colour.
According to the police, Jha was on his way to work on Sunday night when he noticed a street fight taking place at Rajapuri in Madhu Vihar area of Dwarka. The altercation involved two men pitted against three others, who were later identified as Parvesh, Anish and Rohit.
"Jha stopped at the spot and attempted to intervene. During the scuffle, the two men allegedly pulled out knives and began stabbing Parvesh, Anish and Rohit. When Jha tried to intervene, he was also attacked," a police officer said.
All four injured persons were rushed to a nearby hospital, where Jha succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The other three men are under medical observation.
Police said the accused fled the spot after the incident, and multiple teams have been formed to identify and apprehend them.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Kushal Pal Singh, in a statement, said that some messages circulating on social media are attempting to give a communal angle to the incident.
"In the incident, four people suffered stab injuries and were admitted to the hospital. One person died at the hospital, and the remaining three are undergoing treatment. The victims belong to two different communities. The accused stabbed all four victims. Dwarka Police is conducting a search for the accused," the DCP said.
