Daijiworld Media Network - Vijayapura (MS)

Vijayapura, May 17: In a shocking incident, the body of former district president of JD(S) and current Congress leader Reshma Padekanura was found in Krishna River near Kolhar of Basavanabagewadi taluk of the district on Friday, May 17.

Police suspect that she must have been killed by the culprits on the night of Thursday and was thrown into the river. It is suspected that Reshma had gone with a All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) party leader of Maharashtra in a car on the night of Thursday.

This incident took place under the limits of Kolhar police station.

A case has been registered in Kolhar police station.

Prior to joining the Congress, she served as the JD(S) district president of women’s wing for over a decade. She also contested from Devarahipparagi assembly constituency on a JD(S) ticket in 2013 but lost the elections. After JD (S) leaders denied her a ticket in the last assembly polls, she had quit the party and joined the Congress. She had also alleged that she was sidelined by the JD(S) even after serving for years.

Her death has left political leaders and her followers shocked. The political leaders condoled her death and demanded justice.

    It’s not political grudge , overall looks like incident happened due to some kind of differences in personal ventures!
    Police should thoroughly investigate and reveal truth behind the incident !

    RIP, As i think about her, It should not have happened, cause she was active in politics for problems of people & society. She was very young in age in the politics & straight forward speech at even in press conference. She even condemned & against few things for her own religion also, because those are for selfishness of few people/group & not good for their religion.

    politics in India is a dangerous game. Anything may happen to anyone. Darwin's theory of strongest survives fits 100% in this field.
    Very sad of losing a life at such a young age. May her soul rest in peace.
