Government holiday, Sunday stop MCC from razing illegal structure
Mysore/Mysuru: Nov. 12 was the deadline issued by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to clear illegal construction by the neighbour of retired Intelligence Bureau (IB) Officer late R.N. Kulkarni who paid with his life fighting against the illegality. The illegal structure was the motive behind the illustrious officer’s murder. Today is Nov. 13 and tomorrow, the MCC will issue an ultimatum to Madappa, the owner of the illegal structure to vacate and pull down the part of the unauthorised structure. What prompted the MCC to delay the demolition even after the expiry of the deadline is Government holidays.
Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, MCC Commissioner G. Lakshmikantha Reddy said that though the deadline ended yesterday (Nov. 12), the MCC could not take any action due to Government holiday on Nov. 12 due to Saint Kanakadasa Jayanti and Nov. 13 being a Sunday.
“Tomorrow (Nov. 14), the jurisdictional Revenue Officer of the MCC will personally visit the spot at Sharadadevinagar and issue an ultimatum to Madappa and his family members to remove the doors of the unauthorised portion of the building and demolish it by Tuesday. If Madappa fails to pay heed even to the ultimatum, then the MCC will waste no time and spring into action on Wednesday and demolish the full portion of the unauthorised structure which is in violation of the MCC’s building bylaws”, he said.
MCC Commissioner Lakshmikantha Reddy added that the MCC will demolish the illegal part of the structure as per the Court order and will recover the demolition cost from Madappa’s family members. He further said that the MCC is making use of the holidays to prepare for demolition, while also following procedures.
Kulkarni was fatally knocked down intentionally by a car while he was on his usual evening stroll in Manasagangothri campus on Nov. 4. The Police, who began their investigation, thoroughly scrutinised the CCTV images when it was found that it was a planned murder.
Later, City Police Commissioner Dr. Chandragupta formed four teams to crack the case. Based on a complaint by Kukarni’s son-in law Sanjay Angadi which accused Madappa’s family members of plotting to kill his father-in law over the issue of illegal construction, the Police picked up Madappa’s younger son Manu for questioning, when he spilled the beans on his involvement in the planned murder.
Later, based on Manu’s confession, the Police took Manu’s friend Varun Gowda into custody, when the whole plot of the planned murder of the former IB officer was unearthed. Kulkarni had strongly objected to his neighbour Madappa constructing walls adjacent to his (Kulkarni) house without leaving set-back which was in violation of building bylaws.
Keep the pressure on MCC Star of Mysore with your excellent reporting . MCC needs to perform its task immediately so that Mr Kulkarni’s Family gets justice .
whose photograph are you publishing in this article without any caption ?
diotic posters appreciating the low quality of report one reads in this SOM! Not surprised about their standards which is down to the floor.
The photograph, produced is presumably the son of the neighbour who was arrested, thanks to the wonderful detective work ofr the Mysore ;police commissioner, Chandragupta Vikramaditya, who went to their house and picked him!
This is the same efficient commissioner who arrested all the gang members of the armed robbery of the jewellery store within days , but KEPT SILENT ABOUT THE LEADER OF THE GANG WHO ESPAED WITH JEWELS AND IS FREE TODAY! There was one bystander who was killed.
The is the same MC Reddy, who has background in engineering and did his MBA, who could not be bothered to act before. This MC Reddy is acting now because he fears that he will be transferred to Mangalore harbour to manage the dried fish export there.
The case is a criminal case, and even with the very high profile rape case of Nirbhaya in New Delhi, it took more than 10 years to resove it.
It is just arrest and will take many years , and if the accused lawyers are clever, this police commissioner will pay the price in the end.
‘Fatally knocked down intentionally’ – The guy was mowed down to death. The father -son team of Madappa should be termed as a terrorist and
justice to be rendered to the Retd IB Official’s family at the earliest.
@Khan
They are not Terrorists unlike your fellow Muslims who use the suicide belt to blow themself up, to meet the 72 virgins in heaven , as your prophet prattled! Terrorists are those Muslims who behead people for suggesting the truth that your prophet married an young girl!
Bull shit on the MCC excuse for delays. Odds are the Madappas paid off the MCC and caused the delay so that they could carry out their nefarious plot to kill kulkarni.
Investigate the MCC and it’s officers involved at all levels and sack those who were hand in glove in the corruption that lead to this. Shame on the MCC. This is a fantastic low they have revealed themselves to be
The Madappa family home – or at least the illegal parts/ structures should be demolished immediately, and the family members arrested and incarcerate under the most stringent terms. They are murderers, corrupt, and a menace to society.
They couldn’t have constructed the illegal portions without the blessing of the MCC turning an intentional blind eye….
Make an example of both the MCC and the Madappas for the whole nation to see.
@Radhika
You should be ashamed of what you have posted. Your language? Are you a woman? Appears to me a low life.
People like you who react reading news story are the worms. There is court and there are judges, who will determine
the case.
Your society which includes s people like you corrupt, and hence your institutions are corrupt.
Hello Radhika
Have you ever walked in the Manasangothri premises, the road, without feeling that you are trespassing?
If you have done that, have you ever felt that you were on an illegal walk, encroaching on the UOM property.
So, it was right then, as it was not your garden , but only the UOM property,, isn’t?
Also, look at this way. Your police commissioner, who was incapable of catching the leader of armed jewellery gang, which resulted in an innocent bystander’s death, could easily solve this case by knocking at the door of this Kulkarni’s neighbour, and arrested his son!
So this guilty son, was waiting at home having committed the murder? He did not disappear like the above leader of the armed robbery.
What this inefficient police commissioner boasted was this son confessed.
In the Western world, this would be deemed as extracting confession under duress, and the court will throw out the case.
This case will run and run for years.
I am sorry for my language earlier in my reply to Ms Radhika and Mr khan . please forgive me as my schizophrenia and mania acts up on and off. I beg your forgiveness and this disease is a familial illness which affects all members of my family.
@khan and Radhika
I apologies for my poor selection of words and outbursts earlier. I suffer from severe depression, schizophrenia and Mania.
Please forgive me for my verbal diarrhea as this is a familial Trait affecting most members of my family.
I feel obligated to protect the culprits as they are members of my family.
