Mangalore: Rohit's death at Tannir Bavi - Police register murder case


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)

Mangalore, Apr 5: Almost a fortnight after the incident, the Panambur police on Friday April 4 registered a modified complaint relating to the death of Rohit, a student, and converted it into a murder case. The body of Rohit was found lying by the side of the road along with his motor bike on March 23 near Tannir Bavi here. His head was found to have been separated from the torso.

The police theory was that Rohit’s head would have hit a sharp object after his motor bike slipped while being driven at high speed, causing the head to be cut off. The parents of Rohit had sent an email to the state home minister recently, expressing strong suspicion over the nature of their son’s death. Based on this complaint, and some evidences the police gathered during their investigation, a police team visited Kollam in Kerala, and got a revised complaint from the student’s parents. The police said that they are now investigating the case, duly treating it as murder.

Rohit’s father, Radhakrishnan, who works as a lawyer in Bahrain, and mother, Sridevi, a medical practitioner by profession, had visited the city after their son died under mysterious circumstances. At their request, the police commissioner had formed a number of different teams of experts for investigating the case. As the police came across some suspicious evidences during the preliminary inquiries, they went to Kollam to get a fresh complaint from Rohit’s parents.

The death of Rohit had earlier been registered as a case of accident. When attention was drawn to the email sent by Rohit’s parents to the home minister, the police commissioner said on Thursday evening that the police need a fresh written complaint for enabling them to modify the case and investigate it from the angle of murder.

    By now all the evidences from the crime scene might have been lost. In the first instance if treated as crime scene, then every inch of the area will be well searched but now everything is lost.

    Mr. Raj Shetty
    What basis you made a statement that the Home Minister is making the murder into an accident and accident into murder?
    You mean to say H. Minister is micro managing Police Dept job?
    Did you apply same logic in kidnap & murder of BJP MLA's wife at Udupi during VS Acharya's Home Ministry & Sowjanya's kidnap & murder during Ashok's home Ministry?
    There were so many similar tragedies? All that were by the then Home Ministry?

    Police decide on the spot as they want and without much thinking and many People accept it.But here their decision was not correct.There was not any proper evidences to prove it like sharp knife or something.When one Comes with bike ina high Speed either a fine metal thread or something tied across on the way to separate head from Torso.The parents should instead of home Minister or Police ,a private detective arranges to find out the truth.It is not possible to think as accident.RIP.

    Mangalore has an excellent Police Commissioner well known for his forthrightness, uprightness, honesty and efficiency. He has a reputation to deal with cases like these with a firm hand and he will not compromise on any issues

    In my opinion, the parents of the young man could have contacted The Head of The crime branch in Mangalore instead of referring the case to The Home Department.

    In time facts will real the cause of the death of a man in his prime of life. May His Soul Rest in Peace.

    This is because of Language connection.

    Home Minster is Malayalam speaker. That is why they have approached him.

    Anyway, this surely is a very tragic suspicious case, should have been treated as a murder case in the beginning itself.

    We have approached Karnataka Home Minster, not as a Malayalam speaking person, but as the person heading the department and responsible for managing it. When the local police team was trying to hastily conclude the as as a freak accident and trying to write it off, what other option we had in our hand. We are still running from pillar to post to get justice for Rohit Radhakrishnan and we will continue to do so till the justice is done!

    According to Rohit's parents he never had a bike but only car.
    Why the police are not good enough to find out whose bike it is?
    To cover-up and twist the case his ATM and credit cards stolen to make people to 'ULLU' that the motive behind is robbery >>>>>

    Whatever it is the parents wants to know what (and how) exactly has happened to their son on that fateful day. This seems like an Arushi murder case in a different way. Whether the case belongs to rich, educated or poor justice should always prevail. Pray this will end up soon and the truth would come out into the world.

    Gently interrogate two of his friends and the truth will come out. Mobile records of the deceased and his friends can too reveal the crucial evidences.

    Surprisingly the Mangalore police have to be reminded to do their duty. Whatever the case, why do parents have to approach the Home Minister of India to initiate an investigation? Where is the justice? Now days in our country only the high profile cases are getting proper inquiry. Shinde’s recommendation is unnecessary. Mangalore Police are capable to solve the case. Are we going to help the criminals or victims Family?
