Background of the Incident:
The victim, a student at SDM College in Ujire, was kidnapped, raped, and murdered. Her body was discovered near Dharmasthala on October 12, 2012. Initially, Santosh was arrested as the accused, triggering widespread outcry and demands for justice across the state. However, allegations arose against the Belthangady Police for inadequate investigation, leading to the case being transferred to the CBI. The final decision was delivered by the CBI last month.
Despite the case spanning a decade, the culprits responsible for the girl's death remain unidentified. The incident occurred on October 9, 2012, when she was abducted while returning from college. The following day, her body was found near Mannasanka. The Belthangady Police registered the case and initiated an investigation.
