The protesters pointed out the death case of young Ratna Kottary who was found dead in a similar way near Byndoor and said the then SP Boralingaiah had promised to solve the case, but he did not succeed. They expressed fears that in Akshata’s case too, the culprits would manage to evade law.

They demanded just and speedy probe into Akshata’s death without bowing to any pressures.

The SP Annamalai assured that a detailed probe would be done by the Udupi cops and appealed to the protesters to give three days’ time the police.

The protesters agreed to this. But they warned that if the case does not see any significant progress in three days, they would intensify their protest.

Local leader Deepak Kumar Shetty said, we have given three days’ time to the police, in case we do not get justice, we will protest again.

The protesters withdrew their protest and the roads were cleared after they received assurances from the SP.

Tight security was deployed at the spot to prevent untoward incidents.
