Praveen Nettaru’s wife loses job as Cong takes charge in state; withdraw dismissal order, urges BJP
Sullia: The change of government in the state has led temporary government employees to lose their jobs, including the widow of BJP activist Praveen Nettaru, who was employed on compassionate grounds after the murder of her husband.
The BJP state unit, however, has demanded that the order of dismissal from the job be withdrawn immediately.
Praveen Nettaru was killed on July 26, after which, his wife Nutan Kumari was appointed as a Group C senior assistant on contract basis in the office of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in September 2022, following an assurance by BJP State President and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel that she would be given a job on humanitarian grounds.
As requested by her, Nutan Kumari was given a temporary job at the Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner’s office in October 2022.
Since temporary appointments get cancelled following a change of government, Nutan Kumari has reportedly lost the job.
Severely criticizing the Congress for government employees’ loss of job, the BJP has said that the ‘politics of hatred’ undertaken by the Congress should be condemned.
“The Congress should also immediately withdraw the ordered depriving Praveen Nettaru’s wife of employment,” the BJP has demanded.
Commenting on the matter on its official Twitter account, the BJP Karnataka state unit has tweeted, “Praveen Nettaru was killed by members of the PFI, a terrorist organization nurtured by the Congress that spreads communal hatred. His wife was given a job by our government in the deputy commissioner’s office in Mangaluru on compassionate grounds. That the Congress government has begun using its politics of hatred is condemnable. We demand the government to immediately withdraw the inhuman dismissal order.”
The BJP also said, “It is unfortunate that the state suffers as Siddaramaiah’s government works as a puppet of the PFI.”

'Shocked' SC summons police commissioner, IO on Apr 13 in Ghaziabad rape-murder case of minor
New Delhi (PTI): Expressing deep shock, the Supreme Court on Friday intervened in the harrowing rape-murder case of a four-year-old girl in Ghaziabad and summoned the police commissioner and the investigating officer on April 13 with the case records.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi took note of the submissions of senior lawyer N Hariharan, appearing for the victim's father, a daily wager, and expressed its displeasure over the manner in which the state police had conducted the investigation so far in the case.
The CJI lambasted the state police and two private hospitals, which refused to treat the girl before she succumbed to her injuries post-alleged rape, for their "complete indifference" and "insensitive approach".
On March 16, the victim was allegedly lured away by a neighbour on the pretext of buying chocolates and when the child did not return, a search led the father to find her lying unconscious and covered in blood. She later succumbed to her injuries at a government hospital in Ghaziabad.
