Padmapriya case

Udupi District Mahila Congress urged the Union Minister to hand over the case regarding the death of Udupi MLA Raghupathy Bhat’s wife Padmapriya to the CBI.

Speaking on the occasion, President Veronica Kernelio alleged that the mystery behind the death of Padmapriya remains unsolved even after 16 months.

There are attempts from certain corners to bury the case. The MLA is misleading the authorities by alleging an illegitimate relationship between his wife and Atul. It seems that the CoD is in a hurry to seal the episode, she remarked.
