CM to hold review meeting tonight
Mysore/Mysuru: The Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has registered a suo motu case in connection with the rape and murder of a minor girl in Mysuru on Thursday.
In its communication to the Mysuru District Administration and the District Child Protection Officer, the Commission has sought an action-taken report within seven days. It has also requested details on the support extended to the victim’s family by the district authorities.
Confirming the development to Star of Mysore this morning, Mysuru District Child Protection Officer Yogesh stated that the Commission initiated the case after the incident came to light.
“The Commission has asked for a preliminary status report outlining the steps taken by the District Administration, Police, Child Welfare Department, Women and Child Development Department and the Labour Department to assist the victim’s family in the aftermath of the crime and also the steps taken to prevent such crimes in the future,” Yogesh said.
CM to review
Meanwhile, the recent surge in violent crimes in Mysuru — including the murder of Gilki Venkatesh and the rape and brutal killing of the minor girl — has prompted Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to intervene.
In response to the incidents in his home district, the CM has convened a high-level meeting with senior officials in Mysuru this evening (Oct 11). His official itinerary confirms his arrival in the city at 7.25 pm.
Siddaramaiah is expected to receive detailed briefings from law enforcement on the recent cases. The CM will return to Bengaluru later tonight.
