Hindu fundamentalists are behind murder of progressive people: Prof
Mysuru, June 13: Progressive thinker Prof Mahesh Chandra Guru alleged that the Hindu fundamentalists have their role in the murder of progressive people.
Speaking to reporters at his residence in the city on Wednesday, Prof Guru said that the central government has indirectly supported the killings of MM Kalburgi, Gauri Lankesh, Dabholkar and Pansare. After NDA took over the regime in the country, progressive writers and thinkers were targeted, he said.
Those who killed Gauri, might have killed Kalburgi, Dabholkar and Pansare. It was the handi-work of Hindu fundamentalists. There could be Pramod Mutalik of Sri Rama Sene or there could be some Hindu organizations which have been propagating Hindutva ideology. Lok Sabha Members Pratap Simha, Shobha Karandlaje, Naleen Kumar Kateel are fools. They might have relationship with the suspected killers of Gauri Lankesh, he said.
He did not apply for police security. But the government itself has given the police security, he said.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
