Beltangady: Stop investigation into Sowjanya case, let CBI handle - Vasanth Bangera
Daijiworld Media Network – Beltangady
Beltangady, Oct 25: The government should stop investigation into the brutal rape and murder of Sowjanya, as even after handing over the case to the CoD, no sufficient progress has been made, said MLA K Vasanth Bangera.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday October 24 at Dharmasthala, he said the previous BJP government and the then Beltangady SI Yogish Kumar are responsible for the sloppy investigation. There was no pressure on the SI from anyone, but he has brought bad name to Dharmasthala by not conducting detailed investigation, he said.
As the investigation of Sowjanya’s case is not being done effectively, the best solution is to hand over the case to the CBI, he said, adding that he would speak to the chief minister on Friday October 25 about it and also send him a formal letter. "Only CBI probe can bring out the truth and put all speculations to rest," he added.
"Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr Veerendra Heggade too has called for CBI probe into the case several times. As MLA of this constituency, I am not favouring anyone, and my only aim is to ensure that justice is done. I will hold talks with all the organizations that are fighting for the cause. I will fulfil my responsibility as MLA," he assured.
Further, he said the residents of Dharmasthala have submitted a memorandum to him urging for CBI probe. "They have also assured their support and cooperation during the course of the investigation. However, it is wrong to make allegations on Dharmadhikari or the Kshetra without evidence," he said.
