FIR against Bhatkal doctor under POCSO Act for allegedly sexually abusing 7-year-old boy
Bhatkal: An FIR has been registered against a medical practitioner in Bhatkal under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) after the doctor allegedly sexually harassed a young boy at his residence here in the city.
The accused doctor has been identified as Dr. Shailesh M Devadiga, who is now absconding since the incident came to light.
According to the family of the victim boy, Shailesh had sexually exploited a 7-year-old boy at his residence on December 1. In their complaint, the family stated that Shailesh had rented their house and was familiar with all the family members.
On December 1, when Shailesh was at his house, he allegedly called the victim to his house and exploited him sexually.
After the incident came to light, local social media groups have been abuzz with several other rumors and reports of Shailesh’s mismanagement. Social media users have also claimed that Shailesh used his name “Shailesh M Devadiga” and use it on display and billboards as “Shailesh MD” to project himself as an MD.
“He is actually an Ayurvedic doctor he hails from Puttur in Dakshina Kannada. But he uses his name to project himself as MD. Most people in our town believe him to be an MD which is not the case.” A user said.
After the incident came to light and an FIR was registered against him, Shailesh has reportedly gone into hiding and is absconding from the town while the police are on the lookout for the doctor.

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.
