Man gets 7 years imprisonment for attempt to murder tailor
The Assistant Sessions Court at Padmanabhapuram has awarded 7 years rigorous imprisonment to a man for attempting to murder a tailor. According to prosecution, G. Gopan alais Babu of Nagalcode Padanilam under Kulasekaram police station limits had illegally occupied a portion of the land belonging to neighbour K. Jayakumar, 64, and built a compound wall on the encroached property 10 years ago. As Mr. Jayakumar opposed it, there was an enmity between them. When Mr. Jayakumar was in his tailor shop on January 2, 2013, Babu and his wife Ambili trespassed into the shop around 7 p.m. and verbally abused him. Moreover, Babu attacked Mr. Jayakumar with a knife he was carrying, in which the victim sustained bleeding injuries on the head and left shoulder. Subsequently, the Kulasekaram police registered case against Babu and Ambili for trespassing into the shop and attempting to murder Mr. Jayakumar. The couple was arrested. While acquitting Ambili, Padmanabhapuram Assistant Sessions Judge K. Mariappan on Wednesday awarded 2 years imprisonment to Babu for trespassing into the shop and causing injury and imposed a fine of ₹ 2,000. The judge also awarded 7 years rigorous imprisonment to him for attempting to murder Mr. Jayakumar and slapped a fine of Rs. 3,000.

Mandya: The Karnataka Legislative Committee for the welfare of SCs/STs led by Malavalli MLA PM Narendra Swamy, visited Katteraghatta village in KR Pet taluk on Thursday, where a Dalit farmer died in a fire incident.

The organisation demanded an impartial investigation and punishment for the accused, as well as justice for Jayakumar's family. Committee members Prasad Abbayya, Dr Thimmayya, Abhay Patil, along with KR Pet MLA HT Manju of JD(S), visited the spot. DGP Arun Chakravarthy, DIGP of Southern Range B Boralingaiah, Mandya DC Kumara, and district SP Mallikarjun Baladandi were present.
