College student ends life over harassment; accused arrested

A college student in Muddebihal, Vijayapura district, reportedly died by suicide on Tuesday, allegedly due to ongoing harassment by a group of men. The student had earlier filed a complaint against Sangamesh Junjawar, accusing him of inappropriate behavior and threats. She alleged that Junjawar, often accompanied by associates Mounesh Madar and Chidanand Kattimani, harassed her on her way to college and threatened her family.

Based on her complaint, the police arrested the accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Authorities confirmed that Junjawar was also implicated in a previous case involving coercion against another student.

Community leaders are planning protests, demanding justice for the victim. Police stated that all accused linked to both POCSO cases have been apprehended.
