Row over murder case deepens in Pathanamthitta

The Pathanamthitta district police have found themselves at the centre of yet another controversy, this time over the appointment of a special public prosecutor in a sensational murder case. The dispute, which has erupted between District Police Chief V.G. Vinod Kumar and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) Madhu Babu, currently serving in Alappuzha, stems from a complaint filed by the latter with the Chief Minister. The complaint alleges intervention by the DPC in appointing an individual, reportedly listed in the police rowdy sheet, as the special public prosecutor in the 2013 murder case. Mr. Babu, who had previously served as the Circle Inspector in Pathanamthitta during the initial investigation of the case, claimed that the appointment was driven by personal motives. In a sharp counter, the DPC has publicly accused the DySP of mishandling the early stages of the investigation and even suggested that Mr. Babu feared being named as an accused for alleged evidence tampering. The case in question involves the murder of Biju M. Joseph, a cashier at Karikineth Silks, who was killed on November 5, 2013. Despite the gravity of the crime, the chargesheet was filed only in 2015. The victim's brothers, Sabu M. Joseph and Baby M. Joseph, had later approached the High Court, alleging undue influence by the accused and requesting the appointment of a special public prosecutor to ensure a fair trial. Acting on their petition, the High Court selected one of three proposed candidates for the role of special prosecutor. The court also observed that, under Section 319 of the CrPC, individuals found to be involved in evidence tampering could be added as accused, if warranted. The controversy escalated after allegations emerged that Mr. Babu, then the investigating officer, had attempted to protect the accused. He was subsequently replaced and a new deputy superintendent took over the case and eventually filed the chargesheet. 'It was out of fear of facing action that the Deputy Superintendent came forward with such a complaint. The reports suggesting that I recommended a person with a rowdy background for the prosecutor's role are completely untrue,' Mr. Vinod Kumar stated. Meanwhile, the lawyer at the centre of the storm, Prashanth V. Kurup, has strongly denied all allegations. Talking to the media, Mr. Kurup claimed that the cases against him were fabricated and clarified that his appointment was made based on a High Court recommendation, following the petition by the victim's family.

Karnataka Govt suspends 3 police inspectors for falsely implicating tribal man in wife's murder

The Karnataka Government Sunday suspended three police officers for falsely implicating a tribal man on the charge of killing his wife in the state's Kodagu district in 2021. Kurubara Suresh, 35, a labourer from a tribal community, was arrested in June 2021 for 'killing' his wife, and spent two years in jail. However, later it was found that his wife was alive, and had been living with her boyfriend. The police officers who have been suspended are B G Prakash, Mahesh Kumar, and Prakash Yathinamani, inspectors in Kushalanagar and Yelawala and Jayapura, respectively. Vishnuvardhana N, Superintendent of Police, Mysuru, confirmed to The Indian Express that the officers had been suspended, and an inquiry was pending. Reacting to the suspension order, B S Pandu Poojari, the lawyer who represents Suresh, said they were not satisfied with the suspension order. 'We want the government to initiate criminal proceedings against those accused officials to give justice to the victim,' he added.\ Suresh filed a missing-person complaint at the Kushalnagar Rural Police Station in Kodagu district after his wife, Mallige, went missing in November 2020. He was arrested by the Bettadapura police in Mysuru district on charges of murdering his wife after a woman's skeleton was discovered, leading to his two-year-long incarceration. He was released on bail in September 2024. On April 1 this year, Suresh's friends found out that his wife was alive, and had been with her boyfriend 30 km away from their village. They immediately informed the police. Later, the Mysuru district court directed the police to submit a report. Mallige appeared before the judge, and stated that his wife was alive. The court then ordered the police to drop the charges against Suresh, and remove his name as accused or suspect from the chargesheet. Recently, he also approached the Karnataka High Court seeking Rs 5 crore in compensation after spending nearly 18 months in jail following his wrongful arrest. The police are yet to ascertain the identity of the body, which they discovered in an area under the Bettadapura police limits.

Odisha: Devotees throng Puri on fourth day of annual Rath Yatra

Puri (Odisha) [India], June 30 (ANI): On the fourth day of Rath Yatra, devotees gathered in large numbers to witness and be part of the grand event. The Rath Yatra began on June 27 from Jagannath Temple here. July 5 will mark the conclusion of the event, known as 'Bahuda Yatra'. A devotee named Anita, who got the opportunity to pull the chariot, shared her excitement and said, 'We have been feeling lucky for the last two days because when we first came here, the Lord gave us darshan on the chariot. There was a huge crowd, but even amidst that, it seemed like he was protecting us.' 'After the stampede yesterday morning, our family members were worried. However, we don't feel any chaos here. Everything is good here and everyone is kind. We are very blessed to see such beautiful scenes,' she further added. Another devotee, Deepak Rawat, who was attending the Rath Yatra for the first time, said, 'I have come here for the first time and Lord Jagannath has given me a wonderful opportunity to pull the chariot. I want to thank Lord Jagannath so that he can provide such opportunities to everyone and fulfil everyone's wishes.' Three devotees lost their lives and several others were injured in Sunday's stampede at the world-famous Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath in Puri. Odisha Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan called the stampede 'very unfortunate' and said that appropriate action will be taken after the completion of investigation. 'The incident is very unfortunate. The state government has taken strict action and a senior officer will investigate the incident. We will take action once we get the report of the investigation,' Harichandan told reporters. He added, 'Mahaprabhu, with his wish, he gives darshan to his devotees. Tomorrow, the devotees will have the opportunity to offer prayers. I prayed to Mahaprabhu for the well-being of everyone.' Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi expressed deep sorrow over the incident and announced a financial assistance of 25 lakh to the families of each deceased devotee. He also assured that strict action would be taken against those responsible and pledged to prevent such tragedies in the future. Following the incident, the state government has ordered a high-level administrative inquiry to be supervised by the Development Commissioner. Puri Superintendent of Police Pinak Mishra has been appointed in place of the previous SP, and Puri Collector Siddharth Shankar Swain has been replaced by Chanchal Rana. Odisha DCP Vishnu Pati and Commandant Ajay Padhi were also suspended for negligence of duty. (ANI)
