    People are frustrated as promised achhe din never became an reality. With unemployment and lack of money is the main reasons for people to take these extreme steps. Will the govt concerned at least wake up now to deliver on poll promises.

    Dear stan, before commenting on anything just go through the article whats it all about. Its a purely family oriented Property dispute case and nothing to do with Achche din. If you want to target on anything you must be aware of the things otherwise don't comment. Being a educated person you act like uneducated. Its really harmful fro the society & the readers. Thank you.

    Property dispute is a serious thing. Many families will be destroyed with this. Problem started when girls started claiming equal share in parental property. Hope government will go back to 1947 rule and saves many families. I think girls should get property at husband side. Fair enough!

    Exactly Sir!!!Me being a female absolutely have no problem if my brother gets 50%share and me hung with 25%share.This is our sharia law.Because Islam says women is the owner of her property.For example if she wants to sell her gold or any property(both given by her father or husband,then none of them has the right to interfere.And also its purely its girl's choice to transfer her property to her husband or her child,nobody can force her.Whereas in Men's case,he has to ask his family,his brother's parents consent etc.Thats y Men has 50% share.This is logical.so when women has 25% from paternal side she has 50%from husband's side.So she is winner.Hehe

    I am saying you should not claim anything from parental property. Leave 100% to your brother. Be happy. That is what I am saying thank you...

    Oops!!! Then there would be more female foeticide.First of all India is a male dominated society.So regarding this case,sharia rules are best to be applied.
    If it was gulf nation,then as you said 100%could be given to male.Coz there no man can ask his wife's property.She can sue him in sharia courts.But in Indian judiciary,there are many loopholes.Things can be manipulated.

    Where are Bhakths now??? Why are they not criticizing ruling Govt lead by BJP for this crime??? If it was non-BJP Govt, they should have commented 'Utter failure of Govt'!!!

    Regarding Farmer suicide cases, Maharastra is 150 percent ahead of Karnataka... in crime cases MH is double of Karnataka... rapes, murders happening every hour... Yesterday a Shiv Sena politician beaten up Lady Police constable in public!

    What's happening in Maharastra...???

    Prem,

    Don’t try to politicize this tragedy. Can you tell how Govt. is responsible for this incident? You are writing here “If it was non-BJP Govt, they should have commented 'Utter failure of Govt'!!! What you are doing here, the same thing. Then what is the difference between fringe elements and you?
    Using suicide and any tragedy for political gain is in DNA of congress and its blind supporters? As per your argument congress govt. in Karnataka is responsible for whatever the murders and suicides happening in Karnataka. From most of your comments, we can make out you are more concerned about Maharashtra and other states than your own state Karnataka. But, you always blah blah here “I am anti-BJP, but not congress supporter”.

    Sudhakara,
    That's what I wanted to hear from a bhakt!
    "Don't politicize issue" (when it happens in BJP ruled state!)

    It is a heart trenching tragedy & no human being can endorse it or feel happy about. My intension just to make you guys understand, how you react, when the similar incidents takes place in non-BJP ruled state.

    Thank you.

    Rip . Fourteen victims couldn't over power the murderer at that time ? He must be mentally ill or addicted to drugs or alcohol. It's time everyone should learn karate to protect themselves
