Thota Bengre rape case: Students urge lawyers not to represent accused
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada District All Colleges Students Association has urged the District Lawyers Association not represent the rape accused of a girl who was gang-raped recently at Thota Bengre.
"This rape case has stigmatized our district. By not representing the accused, the lawyers should help the accused in getting punished. The lawyers association must instruct practicing lawyers not to help the rape accused. If any lawyer helps the accused, a protest would be held in front of his office," the students threatened.
Sangh's office bearers Gurudath Malli, Ibrahim Batish, Astal Lobo, Ashwit Adapa, Anvita Shetty, Priyanka Shetty, Shainy, Megha, Nihal Rai, Sohan Karanth, Majid Korepadi, Sulaiman Shafi, Ashfaq and others were present.

13,712-page chargesheet filed in Hassan pen drive obscene video case
Hassan: In a major development in the pen drive obscene video circulation case that created a stir in Hassan, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has filed a detailed chargesheet running into 13,712 pages before a senior civil court in the district.
According to SIT sources, the chargesheet names a total of 52 individuals, out of whom charges have been confirmed against 39 persons. Investigation against the remaining individuals is still underway.
The key accused have been identified as Naveen (A1), Karthik N. (A2), who is a car driver, Chetan B.C. (A3), Chetan Y.S. (A4) and Likhith Gowda (A5). They are accused of being actively involved in the recording, storage and distribution of the videos.
Several other names have also been included in the chargesheet as part of the investigation, officials said, adding that further probe is continuing.
Reacting to the development, advocate and BJP leader Devarajegowda alleged that key accused have been left out of the chargesheet. He claimed that despite widespread knowledge about those involved in distributing the pen drives, their names do not appear in the chargesheet and termed the investigation a “false report.”
