Newskarnataka-Belthangady

Belthangady:Thousands of people had converged at Gundya on October 13, Sunday to welcome the parents of Sowjanya and also Mahesh Shetty Thimarodi on their return to hometown after participating in a TV interview in Bangalore and boldly revealing that the real accused in the Sowjanya rape and murder case were shielded by Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari.

The three were brought in a procession from Gundya to Belthangady where a protest was staged. Addressing the protestors, Mahesh Shetty Thimarodi said the people will wage a huge protest if the authorities fail to hand over the case to CBI. The real accused in the Sowjanya rape and murder case should be punished, he said. Continuing, he said we expected a few people would be waiting for us on our return. But considering the large number of people present, we have realized that the people of Belthangady are supporting us in our fight.

Kemar seer Sri Esha Vittaladasa Swamiji said some people had asked him to shun his saffron just because he had fought for justice in Sowjanya case.

People from Bantwal, Venur, Uppinangady, Puttur and other places participated in the protest in large numbers.

Earlier, as the protest reached Dharmasthala, the personnel of Sri Kshetra obstructed it resulting in a tense situation. Hundreds of police who were present dispersed the crowd and brought the situation under control.
