Mangaluru: FIR against Lokayukta SPP Rajesh over allegations of rape attempt on law student
Mangaluru: The Mangaluru Lokayukta Division’s Special Public Prosecutor K. S. N Rajesh has been reportedly accused of attempting rape against a female law student. The victimized law student has filed an FIR in this regard at the Pandeshwar Women’s Police station, it is learned.
The 20-year-old victim, who is a law student from Mangaluru, had joined advocate K. S. N. Rajesh’s Karangalpady office for training on August 8. Amid this, Rajesh had tried to persuade the young woman to engage in physical relations with him. In the complaint, the victim has accused that Rajesh had called her into his chamber on September 25 and behaved indecently towards her and later attempted to rape her, it is learned.
K S N Rajesh had been working as the Special Government Prosecutor for the past several years and was in charge of handling corruption cases that were registered in the Lokayukta. He had been reportedly appointed as the government-assigned prosecutor to argue in favour of the victims of corruption in cases registered with the Lokayukta. Because of this, Rajesh had earned a respectable place in Mangaluru.
An audio recording of the alleged phone conversation between the law student and Rajesh had surfaced in the public sphere two days ago. In the interaction, he is heard persuading her to come to the office and assuring her of not repeating previous actions. He is also heard pleading and requesting her to leave the matter and end it right there, it is learned.

US: 6 killed in Mississippi, suspect charged with murder
West Point (US) (AP): Authorities have charged a 24-year-old man with murder after six people, including a child, were killed in a series of shootings in northeast Mississippi.
Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said the victims, four family members related to the suspect and two other adults, were shot at three separate locations late Friday. The youngest victim was a cousin of the suspect.
“I don't know what kind of motive you could have to kill a 7-year-old,” Scott said at a press conference Saturday.
The suspect was identified as Daricka M Moore. He faces a first-degree murder charge that could be upgraded to capital murder, Scott said. Moore may face additional murder charges as the investigation proceeds.
The shootings took place in the rural community of Cedarbluff, west of the county seat of West Point.
"This guy (the suspect) wasn't our radar,” Scott said. “This is family members that he went after.”
Online court records in Clay County show Moore has no previous criminal charges.
“A situation like this, you've got a family member attacking their own family,” Scott said. “Whatever the reason is, we're hoping that we'll find out.”
Scott said investigators believe Moore placed a gun to the head of a younger child at the home where the 7-year-old died. Investigators aren't sure whether the gun misfired. A third young child and their mother was present in that house as well.
The 7-year-old victim was Moore's second cousin, Scott said.
Investigators hope to have more information and upgraded charges by the time Moore appears before a judge. An initial appearance is scheduled for Monday.
Scott said no other injuries have been reported beyond the six deaths.
Scott said evidence and witnesses indicate Moore was the only shooter.
