On October 5, Monday. several residents of Adyar under the leadership of the BJP Yuva Morcha staged a silent protest in front of the Pandeshwar Police station seeking justice to the family of Akshatha who was a second BA student at the Government College at Carstreet.

 

 

Akshatha who was reported missing on September 21, 2013 was found dead three days later  at Mulihitlu, on the banks of a river. Akshatha’s college mate Madan  who too went missing has not yet been traced.

The protestors  alleged that Akshatha did not commit suicide but it was a case of murder. BJP leader Pradeep Shetty who too was part of the protest  warned of a NH bundh near Adyar if the police failed to  solve the case and trace Madan within a month.
