A student of class 8 was found dead at his residence in Sangeet Nagar of Kukatpally here on Saturday. Police said K. Manikantha (12), a student of Rao’s High School, ended his life by hanging from a ceiling fan in his room. The incident came to light only after the father broke open the door of his room. Manikantha was taken to a private hospital where doctors pronounced him ‘brought dead’. Parents informed police that they do not suspect anyone, and told them that their son was a bright student. However, the boy’s friends in the neighbourhood told investigators that Manikantha was upset for the past few days as his father wanted him to be sent to a boarding school. “The proposal to send him to the boarding school could be the reason behind his extreme step. We are yet to ascertain the exact reason,” Kukatpally police said, denying rumours that the boy was addicted to video games and ended his life as his father took away his mobile phone.With the Prajwal Revanna sexual abuse case taking new twists every day, JD(S) State president and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Monday appealed to the Hassan MP, who is his nephew, to return and subject himself to the legal process. This is the first time that such an appeal has been made by the family.
Amidst continuing protest over the murder of Anjali Ambiger in Hubballi, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who visited the victim’s family on Monday, announced in a press conference that like the Neha Hiremath case, this too would be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for inquiry.
