Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (HB)

Udupi, Sep 25: A 24-year-old youth attempted suicide here on Thursday September 25 following alleged torture by police and complaint from a girl who had accused him of harassing her.

Praveen, a resident of Laxminagar, Malpe, tried to end his life by consuming pesticide at his house on Thursday morning.

As per sources, a local girl and her family filed a complaint against Praveen and eight others on September 21, alleging that they were harassing her. Praveen's elder brother Purnachandra said that the case was false and Praveen was being harassed by the girl and her family. When Praveen approached the Malpe police to file a counter complaint, the police reportedly refused to register his case.

Moreover, Praveen's younger brother Sachin alleged that Malpe police on September 21 had assaulted and tortured nine persons including Praveen after taking them into custody on charges of supplying ganja and molesting the girl.

On Wednesday September 25, while Praveen was attending a marriage at his neighbour’s house, the police arrived and warned him and the others in front of the villagers. "Praveen was ashamed by the incident and was depressed, and hence he tried to commit suicide. He is in a serious condition," said Sachin.

Purnachandra has appealed to the Udupi SI to conduct a thorough investigation and take strict action against the Malpe police.

Before attempting suicide, Praveen wrote a note in which he stated that he had nothing to do with the girl, and yet had suffered a lot on her account, and hence he attempted suicide. However, the note does not mention torture by police.

Praveen has been admitted to Adarsh hospital and his condition is reported to be serious.

Meanwhile, speaking to daijiworld, Udupi SI Madhu denied allegations of police torture and said that there were complaints against the youth over ganja peddling, and hence he and his parents were called to the police station and let off with a warning. The SI said that Praveen had not approached the police with any complaint. The SI of Malpe police station too echoed the same statement.

    In my opinion, the boy became worried\upset when police called him along with his parents who came to know the real truth what their son was involved in - drugs.
    This info to parents who may not have been knowing that until then, caused this boy to to take the drastic step.
    Bad company and ganja, as per recent various cases, available easily, I guess. Once into it then, although fun initially....all sorts of problems crop up as the days pass by and quantity of drug too increases.

    we heard that for the success of every man there is a woman behind, also we have heard that most of the crimes taking place bcoz of a woman, First sin came bcoz of woman(eve) Ravan died bcoz of a woman(sita), vishwamithra bcoz of woman(menaka), eechaka bcoz of woman(drowpadi), even todays world everyone believes woman eventhough she is a lier.woman plays a very important role in todays world, Real kaliyuga is ahead.

    Pedru baba, why you scratch your own back. she is against suicide, but you are against her. why???? what is right or wrong about the incident was not described in her statement. why she has to come down from Germany? to taste police treatment? or treat the victim? any one can comment from any where, but the comment should have sense and it has, but your objection fit to be overruled because, there is no sense. rita bai, keep commenting, dont worry, be happy, pedru baba will understand as a good boy.

    Ayya pa,magane,dont do this work.you cant prove it whether you are right or wrong.If are not there they will say you are guilty .if you are alive and prove what exactly the case is ,then the right one can be punished.If you commit suicide,your parents are the one who suffer.you will be making their hopes to loose.Be a good Boy whether look after your parents,never mind if you had done some bad things in the past,now try to beginn a new life.Future is important.Let the other say whatever they want,you know the truth.Now time to accept the life.dont do such things in future.Life has so many beautiful things ,that you have to findout and enjoy.let the bad things to bad ones.get well soon.

    Sitting in Germany and commenting in Daijiworld forum is not that difficult and doesnt need much time. Why dont you comedown to Udupi and try to assist in catching the real culprits (Perhaps, it may be Local Girl, Police or Praveen himself, or may be it is false allegation). Have you ever come across police treatment?
    When one is suffering others take the pleasure of writing which has no relation the subject.
