Dalit leader murdered in Tilak Nagar
By: Bindiya Carmeline Thomas Date: 2011-03-25 Place: Bangalore

The state president of the Dalit Hindulaya Kriya Samithi was stabbed
to death in Gulbarga Colony in Tilak Nagar at about 8.30 pm last
night. S Manjunath (pictured), left home at about 7.30 pm after
receiving a call to meet a friend. However, barely an hour later his
body was found on the roadside a few metres from his home.

Manjunath sustained a single stab injury to the upper left thigh,
which has severed a major artery and led to death by profuse bleeding.
Residents of Gulbarga Colony rushed him to NIMHANS by 9 pm, where he
was declared dead.

Manjunath's friends and family are clueless as to why anybody would
want to harm him. Bodhiappa, Manjunath's uncle, said, "I don't know
why anyone would want to take his life. He was a good man and did a
lot to help people."

Meanwhile, members of Manjunath's family have filed a complaint at
Tilak Nagar police station. Harsha P S, DCP (South East), said, "We're
awaiting the post-mortem report and cannot definitively comment until
then. Since we've established that he had no real enemies, we are
assuming that it is a case of murder due to a personal matter."
Manjunath's body was taken to Victoria Hospital at about 2 am for
autopsy.
