Raita Sangha suspects wrong treatment causing death of Madhukar Shetty, demands probe
Bengaluru, Dec 31: Suspecting that senior IPS officer Madhukar Shetty who is known for his honesty and integrity, might have died due to wrong treatment, Rajya Raitha Sangha leader Puttaswamy urged the state government to conduct an investigation into the death.
Speaking to reporters at Ramanagar on Monday, he said that there was a resemblance in the death of socialist leader Dr Ram Manohar Lohia and Madhukar Shetty. It was said later that Lohia died due to wrong treatment. Same thing could have happened in Madhukar Shetty’s case also.
Madhukar Shetty was physically and mentally fit. It is still suspicious on how he was afflicted with H1N1. After his death, blood stains were found on the right side of the mouth and inside the nose, he said.
There is a doubt that the doctors who treated him at the hospital have treated him on H1N1 instead of treating him on heart-related disease. So, the government should initiate probe into the death of the officer.
The government should constitute a special investigating team comprising expert doctors and senior officers.
Many people including Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar expressed their suspicion on the death of Madhukar Shetty. Before destroying the evidences, the government should start investigation, he demanded.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
