Dharmasthala case: SIT report delayed due to technical issues, says HM Parameshwara
Bengaluru: State Home Minister Dr. G Parameshwara has said that submission of the report by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed to probe the mass burial case in Dharmasthala is delayed due to technical glitches.
He further told reporters who met him on Thursday that the government had also postponed the deadline for submission of the report by a few days.
“The State Commission for Women has urged the government for a probe of the case, but only a comprehensive investigation will reveal all facts. The investigation, however, is time-consuming and the report too will have to be checked closely regarding all aspects of the case. Currently, there is a delay in the release of the report on account of technical problems,” Parameshwara told the reporters.
When asked about Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar's visit to New Delhi, he clarified that Shivakumar had gone to discuss issues related to the Irrigation Department with legal experts.
Speaking about the farmers' protest for a minimum support price (MSP) for sugarcane, Parameshwara told the reporters, “There are discussions with the farmers on an annual basis on the price of sugarcane. The farmers have demanded from us the same MSP as given by the Maharashtra government. We will discuss the matter with the farmers and give them suitable compensation.”

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
