Legislative committee visits Katteraghatta after Dalit farmer dies in suspicious fire
Mandya: The Karnataka Legislative Committee for the welfare of SCs/STs led by Malavalli MLA PM Narendra Swamy, visited Katteraghatta village in KR Pet taluk on Thursday, where a Dalit farmer died in a fire incident. The panel members visited the house of the deceased, Jayakumar, who died under suspicious circumstances, and the site where the incident took place. Narendra Swamy consoled Jayakumar's wife, Lakshmi. About 10 days ago, the charred body of Jayakumar was found in a haystack in Katteraghatta village. Following reports raising suspicion about the cause of his death, progressive organisations sought a probe. They alleged that a rowdy-sheeter murdered Jayakumar and burned his body in the haystack. The organisation demanded an impartial investigation and punishment for the accused, as well as justice for Jayakumar's family. Committee members Prasad Abbayya, Dr Thimmayya, Abhay Patil, along with KR Pet MLA HT Manju of JD(S), visited the spot. DGP Arun Chakravarthy, DIGP of Southern Range B Boralingaiah, Mandya DC Kumara, and district SP Mallikarjun Baladandi were present.

Depleted field for Indian Grand Prix
Thiruvananthapuram: The absence of several prominent stars and a lacklustre field in many events have diminished the excitement surrounding the Indian Grand Prix - 2 which will get under way at the LNCPE Athletics Stadium here on Saturday. Only a handful of internationals have chosen to test the waters in the summer heat and focus will be on national campers attached to the National Centres of Excellence. In the men's section, among the country's leading sprinters only National record holder Animesh Kujur has chosen to compete here and he starts as the overwhelming favourite to win a sprint double. Delhi's Jayakumar, Kapil and Rince Joseph will be the prominent runners in the men's 400m event. Mohammed Afsal will be the man to beat in the depleted 800m event. In the absence of leading names in triple jump, the fight for the gold medal will be between Tamil Nadu's K. Yuvraj and Navy's Vimal Mukesh. In the women's section, Tamil Nadu's R. Vithya Ramraj is the biggest draw and she will be taking part in 400m hurdles and in 200m. Vithya will be the favourite to win the 400m hurdles but she surprisingly has skipped the 400m and instead will compete in 200m where she has her task cut out. Subha Venkatesan, Gowri Nandana and Jisna Mathew are familiar faces in the women's 400m race. The field is too thin in women's 800m, javelin throw and long jump events with only two competitors taking part in javelin and long jump.
