Udupi: Congressman arrested for threatening witness in murder case


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi

Udupi, Sep 14: A Congressman has been arrested for allegedly threatening a witness in a murder case that took place in 2013.

Dhananjay Kadekar, member of Kadekar gram panchayat from Congress, has been arrested for allegedly threatening Ashwini, a young girl who was witness to the murder of Ranjitha by her lover Yogesh last year.

Yogesh had been arrested on charges of stabbing Ranjitha (20) to death after she refused his proposal. Ashwini, who was accompanying Ranjitha, had tried to intervene but in vain. She was hence a witness in the case.

It is alleged that Dhananjay forcibly entered Ashwini's house on September 12 and issued death threats if continued to remain witness in the case. He also kicked the walls of the house and made threatening gestures, it is said.

As per sources, Dhananjay had earlier too tried to put pressure on the police to drop the case. Nevertheless, the police hunted down and arrested the alleged murderer, and currently, Yogesh is in jail. Dhananjay was even called for questioning before the arrest of Yogesh.

Ashwini and her family stay in a small hut on Yogesh's land. Her father is suffering from kidney ailment and unable to move out of the house. Her mother works as maid and earns for the family. Ashwini has an elder sister. The family is very poor.

The family was scared after Dhananjay issued the threat. With the help of Dalit Sangharsha Samiti(DSS), they lodged a complaint with the Malpe police, after which he was arrested.

DSS said that it plans to give a memorandum to the SP on Monday September 15 urging strict action against Dhananjay and protection to Ashwini and her family. It also stated that the compensation promised to Ranjitha's kin last year has not been handed over yet.

    Killing is wrong so as deserting a boy by a girl after being in a emotional relationship. Laws are Horribly silent on this issue , if a girl ditches boy its woman empowerment but if a boy does it , he goes behind bars. DOUBLE STANDARDS.

    Fiza, congress or bjp becomes important here because as a ruling party member he is expected to uphold the law and not threaten anyone, or interfere with the police. Moreover, when a politician is arrested, party name has to be mentioned so that people know.

    Good work by Police and Govt. Arrest and weed out all criminals irrespective of their party affiliations. Cleanse the Political system. People don't pamper criminal bad elements in your parties. Support to bad elements in Politics is the reason for SO BAD POLITICAL SCENARIO IN INDIA. Encourage only good then only Ache Din will come.
