I know truth behind Sowjanya murder case, will reveal it at right time: Former Congress MLA
Belthangady: Former Congress MLA Vasanth Bangera has made a statement amidst protests demanding a fresh investigation into the decade-old Sowjanya murder case in Belthangady.
Addressing the crowd at the "Sangathi Mahasangama Atida Onji Dina" program on Sunday, Bangera claimed to possess information pertaining to the CBI investigation into the case.
He expressed his belief that justice could be achieved for Sowjanya through the CBI investigation, but he asserted that the truth was manipulated during the investigation. While he refrained from revealing the details at present, Bangera stated that he would expose those who manipulated the investigation when the appropriate time comes. He emphasized that he was willing to reveal everything, even if it cost him his life, and expressed his confidence that the truth would come out before his life ends.
Bangera revealed his intention to personally meet with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to discuss all the relevant matters. He aims to inform the Chief Minister about the issues and urge for a thorough investigation by the authorities, including Siddaramaiah himself, to ensure that the truth is revealed.

The former MLA emphasized his commitment to the Sowjanya case, stating that he has been vocal about the flaws in the murder case from the beginning. Despite facing immense pressure not to raise the issue, Bangera pressed for a CBI investigation and discussed the matter extensively in the legislative assembly. He had previously engaged in a detailed conversation with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, providing information about the Sowjanya case and other related incidents, which led to the case being handed over to the CBI.
However, Bangera expressed disappointment that even the CBI investigation did not unveil the truth, thus calling for a fresh investigation. He had met with the Chief Minister and Sowjanya's family to request a new investigation, and he has faith that the government will order one.
Bangera stressed the importance of holding criminals accountable, regardless of their influence or power, and called on society to unite in raising its voice for justice.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
