Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru

Mangaluru, July 5: In a significant development in the Puttur student pregnancy case, Jaganivasa Rao, the father of the prime accused Krishna J Rao, was arrested today for allegedly aiding his son to evade the police.

Krishna J Rao, who had been absconding since June 24, was apprehended earlier today in Mysuru. Krishna J Rao is the main accused in the controversial case involving the pregnancy of a student in Puttur, which has attracted widespread media attention and public scrutiny.

After the case was registered, Krishna went into hiding, prompting a manhunt by the local police.

Following extensive investigations, Krishna was traced and arrested in Mysuru earlier today. Soon after, authorities detained his father, Jaganivasa Rao, on charges of assisting Krishna in fleeing the jurisdiction and helping him avoid arrest.

The police are continuing their probe into the case and have vowed to ensure a thorough investigation. Both Krishna and his father are currently in police custody as further legal proceedings unfold.

    The fear of family, society and media and his own immaturity must have driven the boy to run away. If all of them, family, society and media had been supportive, the boy and girl could have come to a mature decision and this would have ended happily for everyone. The boy and the girl have been in a consensual relationship. Their immaturity and youthful exploration has resulted in the situation. It is sad that society views it as a crime and puts them in a shameful situation. If the society had been supportive and assured them of their and their child's future, there wouldn't have been any problem. This event highlights the need for sex education in schools and colleges

    You are right. Boys father and family should have come forward and accepted their daughter in law and grandchild, even though girl is from any cast, creed or religion

    All rapist should be sentenced to 100 years of rigorous imprisonment. Castration should be done on such bloody criminals....... And beware of such sanskaari people who often mislead the society for their hidden agenda.

    In this case, sadly, nothing significant is likely to happen. The culprit's father is a highly influential person in society, with strong political connections. They will likely drag this case indefinitely and may even manage to turn it in their favor. This man has not only ruined the girl’s future but has also condemned an innocent child to grow up without a father figure. Even if, by some chance, they end up getting married, I doubt the girl can ever live happily in that household after everything that has happened. May God bless the poor girl and give her the strength to face what lies ahead.

    **"After ruining a girl's life by his son, this man is laughing. The father and son should be sent to jail, and the girl along with her newborn child should be accepted into the family."**
