Suspicious death in Kalaburagi turns into murder case; Brother arrested
Kalaburagi: A suspicious death reported two months ago in Itaga village, Chittapur taluk, has now been confirmed as a murder. The police investigation revealed that the deceased's brother, Suresh Doddha Manmanta, is the prime suspect in the case.
The victim, identified as 35-year-old Kamanna Doddha Manmanta, was initially believed to have died accidentally after his body was found at the entrance of his house on July 5. The family cremated him, assuming he had fallen from the roof. However, Kamanna's mother, Parvathi, later raised suspicions about her son's death, leading her to file a complaint with the police.
Acting on the complaint, the police exhumed the body under the supervision of the Tehsildar and conducted a postmortem. The report confirmed that Kamanna's death was not accidental but the result of foul play. Consequently, the police registered a murder case on August 23 and launched a detailed investigation.
The investigation uncovered that the motive behind the murder was a property dispute. The family owned a farm in Tolamamadi village, Sedam taluk, which was sold for ₹56 lakh two months ago. Kamanna had deposited the money in his parents' names and retained some in his own account, excluding Suresh from any share. This led to a dispute between the brothers, ultimately resulting in Suresh allegedly murdering Kamanna on June 5.
The police have arrested Suresh and produced him in court, where he was remanded to judicial custody. The investigation was carried out by a team led by Kalaburagi District Superintendent of Police Addur Srinivasalu, Additional SP Srinidhi, Shahabad DySP Shankar Gowda Patil, and other officials.

“Bleeding on the road, I begged for help but no one came”: Bengaluru woman recounts husband’s death
Bengaluru: A woman in Bengaluru has shared a painful account of how her husband died after they were repeatedly denied medical help and ignored by passersby during a medical emergency, NDTV reported.
The victim, 34-year-old Venkataramanan, a garage mechanic from Balaji Nagar, developed severe chest pain around 3.30 am. His wife immediately took him on a motorcycle in search of medical help.
"He complained about chest pain, and we went to the first hospital. However, the doctor was not on duty. At the second hospital, we were told he had a stroke and to go to another hospital. When we called for ambulance services, they did not respond properly. Humanity failed, but we did our bit by donating his eye." NDTV quoted his wife as saying.
According to the report, after being turned away twice, the couple met with an accident on the road. CCTV footage later showed the woman, covered in blood, pleading with folded hands as vehicles passed by, but no one stopped to help.

The wait ended after several minutes when a cab driver stopped and rushed Venkataramanan to a nearby hospital. Doctors there declared him dead on arrival.
As per the report, the family decided to donate Venkataramanan’s eyes, giving sight to others even in death.
Venkataraman's mother, who had lost her last surviving child, had no words to express herself: "I have no words. I do not know what to say. My son is gone."
"The government should understand a health emergency. My daughter is left with two children. Who will look after them?" asked his mother-in-law. His wife, mother, and two children, a five-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter now survive Venkataramanan.
The incident has once again raised serious questions about emergency healthcare access, ambulance response, and public apathy in the city.
