Madhukar Shetty is rare police officer: Justice Santosh Hegde
Mangaluru, Dec 29: Former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde said that "Madhukar Shetty was an ideal police officer who brought name to the police department. His honesty in work, courage and achievements are model to the young generation. I can't believe that such young, honest and dynamic officer is no more".
Condoling the death of senior police officer, Justice Hegde told reporters that Madhukar Shetty has lived like his father Vaddarse Raghuram Shetty, who was the editor of Mungaru newspaper, with commitment. He was an honest officer who did not yield to any influence during the operation on forest brigand Veerappan, Land scam near Bengaluru International Airport, Mining scam and others, he said.
"When I was Lokayukta, Madhukar Shetty was the officer who stood with me. Due to his honesty, daring attitude and not yielding to influence, he had to get the punishment transfers continuously. Such an officer is very rare. The state government should educate the young officers about Shetty", Justice Santosh Hegde said.

Bengaluru: School owner, wife, principal arrested for alleged rape of Class 8 student
Bengaluru: The owner of a private residential school in Devanahalli, his wife and the principal of the school have been arrested under charge of rape of a 14-year-old girl who was studying in Class 8 in the school.
While 600 children study from Class 1 to 10 in the school, 150 of them are learned to be girls.
The rape victim and her parents reportedly filed a police complaint on Friday, accusing the school owner of sexually assaulting her. They also accused the owner’s wife and the principal of the school of failing to intervene.
The complainant has reportedly told the police that she was raped repeatedly for eight days. She added that when she approached the owner’s wife and the school principal to get their help, they allegedly brushed the matter aside, saying such incidents were common ‘in current days’. Both of them, however, told her not to divulge the matter to anyone, the girl is learned to have said in her complaint.
She reportedly has told her parents that the owner, who had been in a drunken state, told her to come to the warden’s office at night. He took her to a room and raped her, she added. Unable to bear the torture, she is learned to have informed her parents.
Based on their complaint, a rape case was registered against the school owner, and an abetment case against his wife and the school principal.
Police sources have said that information is being gathered from other students of the school if more such incidents have occurred in the school.
