Belthangady:Over 20,000 people have converged at the Belthangady Taluk Maidan on October 25, Friday to be a part of a massive protest to pressurize the government to hand over the Sowjanya rape and murder case to the CBI. Hundreds of people are also seen heading towards the meeting venue.
Shops and business establishments across Belthangady taluk have voluntarily downed their shutter to observe a bundh in support of the cause.
Even autorickshaw drivers of Belthangady have backed the protest by parking their autorickshaws in the reverse. The protest meeting began with a prayer by Rashmi Naravi and Poornima. Writer Athrady Amritha Shetty in her introductory address said in the event of denial of justice in Sowjanya case despite several movements,then it should be concluded as a defeat of the elected representatives and not the agitators.
She also questioned the statement of state Home Minister KJ George that the case cannot be handed over to the CBI.
