Human skeleton found at Jodupala
Madikeri, September 27: A human skeleton was found near Jodupala which was devastated in the landslides and floods in the district, on Thursday. It is suspected that the skeleton might be of Manjula (15) who was disappeared in the landslide and flood on August 16. But the medical sources and police have not yet confirmed it.
As the skeleton was found in the place, even the parents of Manjula were unable to identify it. For the last 41 days, her parents and family members have been searching for Manjula at Jodupala and surrounding places where she was disappeared. On Thursday at 11 am, the skeleton was found around 1 km away from her house. Knowing the information, the Madikeri rural police visited the place and informed the district hospital doctors for medical test. But the doctors who visited the spot confirmed that it was human skeleton.
But the police and the doctors said that without subjecting the skeleton for more medical tests, it was not possible to ascertain that it was Manjula’s skeleton.
Basically, Manjula was the daughter of Somaiah of Bettattur and was studying her SSLC in Mademaheshwara high school at Madenadu and she was staying at the house of her relative Basappa at Jodupala. Since there is only one bus facility from Bettattur to Madenadu, she was staying in Jodupala and continued her studies. But on August 16 at 8 am, the house of Basappa was collapsed and buried under the mud due to landslide and flood due to heavy rains. At that time, Basappa, Gouramma, Monisha and Manjula were washed away in the flood water. But in the operation conducted by the paramilitary force, CRPF and police teams using Drone cameras, three bodies except Manjula were found and their last rites were also conducted. But the body of Manjula was not found even after 40 days of the incident.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
