Alvas college hostel students suicide case: Investigation report submitted to HC
Bengaluru, October 05: The Investigating officers submitted their investigating report on the suicide of Alvas Residential College hostel students at Moodabidri to the Karnataka High Court on Friday.
Public prosecutor V. Srinidhi submitted the investigating report to Justice B.V. Nagarathna who heard the petition filed by the parents of Kavya Poojary and Rachana Manjunath, in a sealed cover. When the public prosecutor submitted the report in a sealed cover, the HC asked how the counsel would argue if the report was submitted in the sealed cover. If a copy of the report was submitted to the counsel, he could also go through it and argue in the court based on the report, the Judge said.
But the public prosecutor said that since the case was still under investigation, it was not possible to disclose the report. Moreover, the investigating officer had collected the statements of more than 20 students about the incident and they would be in trouble if their names were disclosed. Moreover, the investigating officers have been handling the case efficiently and there was no need to handover the case to CBI investigation, he said.
Following this, the HC asked the counsel to file his objection over the investigation into the case and as to why the case should be handed over to the CBI, during the next hearing to be held on October 29.

Four booked for tying 18-year-old to tree, beating him up in UP's Pratapgarh
Pratapgarh (UP) (PTI): Four people were booked here for the abduction and assault of a man who they allegedly tied to a tree and beat up, police said on Wednesday.
The incident, a video of which has gone viral, took place on Tuesday afternoon under the Kunda police station limits.
The FIR was registered on Wednesday evening based on a complaint from the victim's father.
According to Keshav Prasad Yadav, a resident of Mauli village, some people called his 18-year-old son Nikhil Yadav on the phone and asked him to come out of his house around 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
As he reached outside the village as instructed, the accused allegedly forced him into a car and took him towards the Tinpedwa forest area, where they tied him to a tree and assaulted, the complainant said.
The attackers also recorded a video of the incident and circulated it on social media. The purported video shows the men thrashing Nikhil one after another, while one of them is assumed to have recorded the act.
Kunda Station House Officer Manoj Pandey confirmed the incident and said efforts are underway to identify and arrest all the accused.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has shared the video on social media, describing the incident as reflective of a "dominant mindset" against the PDA (Pichda or Backward, Dalit, and Alpasankhyak or Minority), and demanded strict action against the accused.
