Raita Sangha suspects wrong treatment causing death of Madhukar Shetty, demands probe
Bengaluru, Dec 31: Suspecting that senior IPS officer Madhukar Shetty who is known for his honesty and integrity, might have died due to wrong treatment, Rajya Raitha Sangha leader Puttaswamy urged the state government to conduct an investigation into the death.
Speaking to reporters at Ramanagar on Monday, he said that there was a resemblance in the death of socialist leader Dr Ram Manohar Lohia and Madhukar Shetty. It was said later that Lohia died due to wrong treatment. Same thing could have happened in Madhukar Shetty’s case also.
Madhukar Shetty was physically and mentally fit. It is still suspicious on how he was afflicted with H1N1. After his death, blood stains were found on the right side of the mouth and inside the nose, he said.
There is a doubt that the doctors who treated him at the hospital have treated him on H1N1 instead of treating him on heart-related disease. So, the government should initiate probe into the death of the officer.
The government should constitute a special investigating team comprising expert doctors and senior officers.
Many people including Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar expressed their suspicion on the death of Madhukar Shetty. Before destroying the evidences, the government should start investigation, he demanded.

Lebanon appoints new representative for talks with Israel, rejects linkage to Iran
Beirut: Lebanon’s has moved to underline its independent position in ongoing regional developments, amid attempts to link the country to the broader conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
President Joseph Aoun, while announcing the appointment of former US ambassador Simon Karam as Lebanon’s representative in talks with Israel, made it clear that Karam would be the sole representative for Lebanon and that there would be no substitute.
The move comes in response to what the Lebanese officials see as efforts by Iran to tie Lebanon’s situation to the wider regional conflict. Iran had indicated that there would be no ceasefire involving the US, Israel and Iran unless it also included a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Some groups, including Hezbollah and its supporters, had expressed support for linking the situations, citing concerns that the Lebanese government has limited leverage in negotiations with Israel. Lebanon is not formally a party to the conflict, and its army is considered weak.
However, others, including Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, have opposed this approach. They view Iran’s stance as an attempt to influence Lebanon’s internal affairs and see it as undermining the country’s sovereignty.
Officials backing the government’s position say the move is aimed at reaffirming Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring that decisions about peace and ceasefire within the country are not dictated externally.
They also see it as a safeguard, so that any breakdown in talks between the US, Israel and Iran does not automatically lead to renewed conflict in Lebanon.
