Suhas's mother demands NIA probe into his murder
At a VHP-organised Janagraha rally 'Bajpe Chalo' on Sunday, Sulochana Shetty expressed concern about the state govt's handling of her son's murder investigation, claiming that authorities were impeding a thorough inquiry into the case. "We seek justice for Suhas. A group of over 50 individuals subjected my son to torture before taking his life. Both home minister G Parameshwara and district minister Dinesh Gundu Rao wrongly labelled my son Suhas as a rowdy.
I clarify that Suhas was not a rowdy, but worked with Bajrang Dal. Only an NIA investigation can ensure we receive proper justice," she said.
Hindu Jagrana Vedike leader Srikanth Shetty said that Suhas Shetty was wrongly characterised as a rowdy-sheeter for his work supporting Hindutva. He expressed distrust in the current police investigation and demanded the case be transferred to the NIA. He asserted that Suhas's murder represented an attack against the Hindu community, noting that activists like Suhas risk their lives while working for Hindutva.

'Not to you, to your wife': Zelenskyy offers Trump Olena Zelenska's letter to Melania; praises First Lady's message to Putin
Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented Donald Trump with a letter from Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska to Melania Trump. Instead of photos of Ukrainian children suffering the war that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy brought to the White House in February, this time Zelenskyy brought a letter from Ukraine's first lady Olena Zelenska addressed to First Lady Melania Trump and offered it to Donald Trump at the beginning of their joint sit-down Monday. This was taking a leaf out of the recent example set by Trump himself who hand-delivered Melania's letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy praised the gesture and then took out the letter from his wife and specified that the letter was not meant for Trump. "Thank you very much for your efforts, personal efforts to stop the killings and stop this war," Zelenskyy said, adding that Melania's letter mentioned Ukraine's children. 'My wife, the first lady of Ukraine, she gave the letter. It's not to you but to your wife,' he said "I want," Trump said in his instant reaction. What Melania wrote in her letter to Trump "In today's world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them," Melania wrote. "Mr Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter," it added. "In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone -- you serve humanity itself." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo "Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today," the letter read.
