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.

Allahabad High Court directs Centre to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship by December 19
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has instructed the Union Home Ministry to decide on a petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The Bench, led by Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, set a deadline of December 19, 2024, for the government to update the Court on the matter.
The petition, filed by S Vignesh Shishir, requests a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship. Shishir claims that evidence, including confidential emails shared by VSS Sarma, suggests Gandhi may be a British citizen. However, due to UK data protection laws, the British government has not disclosed full details without Gandhi's consent.
During the November 25 hearing, Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey informed the Court that the Home Ministry is reviewing the representation. The Court directed the government to report on the status of the petition by the next hearing on December 19.
A similar petition challenging Rahul Gandhi's citizenship is pending before the Delhi High Court, where the matter will be heard after the Allahabad High Court's proceedings.
