Bhiwani family refuses to receive woman teacher's body, demand arrest if killers
2
Rohtak: A day after the dead body of a woman teacher was found in Bhiwani, the family of the teacher, Manisha, on Thursday refused to accept her body after the post-mortem. They insisted that the police first arrest her killers.
Manisha's uncle, Kuldeep, her father, Sanjay, and a large number of relatives gathered at the civil hospital in Bhiwani and said they could block the road in protest. To prevent any blockade, police personnel from the city police station and Loharu police station were deployed on the spot.
BJP MP from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, Chaudhary Dharambir Singh, reached the hospital, heard the family's concerns, and tried to persuade them.
According to the police investigation so far, two points have emerged: first, the teacher was abducted and kept somewhere before the killing; second, after the murder, her body was dumped near a canal in fields at Singhani village of Bhiwani. Her mobile phone has not yet been recovered. Manisha's last call was to her father on Aug 11, in which she said, "I will be late."
To trace the accused, police have formed six teams.

Loharu SHO Ashok said spot inspection and probe indicate Manisha was last seen heading towards Kharkari road, which is the route to her play school and nursing college. It is not yet clear whether she reached the college. CCTV footage is being examined.
Sanjay, a resident of Dhani Laxman village, has three children. The eldest, Manisha, taught at a play school and usually returned home by the school bus. On Aug 11, the day she went missing, she did not take the bus.
Around 1–1:30 pm, she called her father saying she would be late as she had to go for admission at the nursing college, located about 1–1.5 km from her play school. When she did not return by evening and calls went unanswered, the family lodged a missing report.
On Aug 13, a farmer found a young woman's body near the canal at Singhani; her neck was slit. Police said that the murder likely occurred on the night of Aug 12–13 or the morning of Aug 13; drag marks at the recovery site suggest the body was dumped there after the killing.

Dharmasthala burials case: It's an international conspiracy, says BJP
Bengaluru: Opposition BJP Thursday claimed the investigation into alleged mass murders in Dharmasthala was part of another attempt to defame and demean Hindu religious institutions and alleged a network of "urban Naxals and foreign nationals" was behind the conspiracy. During a half-hour debate in the assembly on the case, BJP members said vested interests were attempting to hurt Hindu sentiments. However, home minister G Parameshwara insisted the special investigation team (SIT) was formed to get to the truth "and not play politics" and that a detailed reply would be presented Monday. Opposition leader R Ashoka called it "a national conspiracy". "They began with Tirupati with the seven hills, then went on to Shani Shingnapura and reached Sabarimala, where women were encouraged to enter the premises. Now, the toolkit is trying to defame Dharmasthala Manjunatha temple and the trust," Ashoka said.

He accused conspirators of using the 2012 Soujanya murder case, in which the accused was released for lack of evidence, as an excuse to defame Dharmasthala temple and its trust. "A single remark of alleged communal disharmony against a certain community results in our Hindu workers being booked and sent to jail. But when it comes to remarks posted on social media hurting Hindu sentiments, not a single case is booked," he said. Ashoka accused the govt of being party to efforts to defame Hindu society and demanded that the administration present an interim report on the special investigation team's (SIT) probe. He also called for disclosure of the man behind the mask who is leading investigators to the alleged mass burial sites. BJP sought a narco-analysis test on the masked man and demanded that the investigation be handed over to National Investigation Agency (NIA), alleging the involvement of foreign funding for "small-time accusers" and YouTubers. In response, Parameshwara said: "We have as much faith and belief as you, or even more, in Dharmasthala Manjunatha and the Dharmadhikari Veerendra Hegde's philanthropic and religious efforts. We only want to get to the bottom of the truth." Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar said the govt stood firmly with the Dharmasthala temple and its trust, and that the probe was intended to put all allegations permanently to rest.
