Puttur : MLA Ashok Kumar Rai visited the victim’s residence on Saturday, spoke with her mother, and later addressed the media.
MLA said, Krishna Rao, the accused in the case involving a young student giving birth, has been arrested.
“He was arrested around 8 PM on Friday,” Rai said.
Referring to remarks made by Arun Kumar Puthila, Rai expressed disappointment: “I’m not sure if he spoke with full understanding of the issue. I have not used this matter for political mileage. However, the accused had worked with Mr. Puthila earlier. A related photo went viral yesterday, but I won’t comment on it. Our only focus should be on uniting the two individuals,” he added.
He urged that such sensitive matters should not be politicized and emphasized the need to focus on the future of both the victim and her child. “Even if a leader from another political party were in my place, they might have used it for political gain. But I have not. Our only intention is to help the couple unite and lead a life together,” he stated.
Leaders including Kavu Hemanath Shetty, Krishnaprasad Alva, Nihal Shetty, and Jayaprakash Badinaru were present.
