Kundapur: Konkan Kharvi community and Hindu organizations held peaceful protests here urging for impartial enquiry into the recent mysterious death of Paresh Mesta in Honnavar. A procession in this connection was taken from Mahakali Temple to Kundapur Shastri Circle and then to Kundapur divisional office.
Hundreds of protesters in two lines walked for about a kilometre holding placards, objecting to the conclusion in the post-mortem report that it is a natural death and demanded justice in Paresh Mesta’s death.
The police department, which was disappointed with the communal disturbances in Uttara Kannada, had taken precautions with regard to the protests to prevent untoward incidents. Superintendent of police Dr Sanjeev Patil was personally present at the place to prevent unpleasant incidents.
