Mangaluru, Feb 20: The inquiry into the St Gerosa school dispute is in full swing under the supervision of Akash Shankar, IAS, at the Zilla Panchayath on Tuesday, February 20.

Akash Shankar has been in the city for two days, conducting inquiries into the incident. On February 19, he inquired with officials, and on the current day, he met with parents, students, and complainants.

During his investigation, Akash Shankar also visited the school to gather information. He stated, "I have collected all the necessary information, and if required, I will call for further information. It's impossible to compile a report in just two days of inquiry, so more information needs to be gathered before the final report is submitted."

Emphasizing the importance of fairness in the report, Akash Shankar assured that no one would face injustice. "I will review all the statements and submit the final report to the government," he added.

Earlier in the morning, Akash Shankar conducted an inquiry with VHP leader and an old student of the school.
