A local official in Karnataka is currently being sought by police after allegedly threatening a school headmistress. Basanagowda Kenchareddy, a member of the Gram Panchayat, is accused of verbally abusing Nirmala Dange, who is in charge at Bachimatti Government Higher Primary School. This incident happened after some members of the Dalit community were seated on the stage during a Republic Day celebration.
Reportedly, this seating arrangement angered Kenchareddy. He is said to have made threats and used abusive language toward the headmistress because he did not think it was right for members of the Dalit community to be on the stage. Now, Kenchareddy is on the run, and the authorities are actively searching for him. The situation has created significant worry in both the school and the local area.
The headmistress, Nirmala Dange, filed a complaint explaining that Kenchareddy called her on January 26th and expressed his anger about the seating. The complaint also states that he used abusive language and threats. Moreover, this incident highlights the continuous problems with discrimination and how challenging it can be for individuals to stand up against such actions.
Authorities are taking the complaint very seriously and are determined to bring Kenchareddy to justice. This case emphasizes the importance of inclusive community events and the necessity to fight against discriminatory actions. Furthermore, the in-charge headmistress explained, “I received an abusive phone call from Kenchareddy on January 26,” as recorded in her official complaint.
This case will serve as an example that such actions will not be tolerated, and that victims of such behavior have the right to seek justice. The local community is closely watching how officials will handle this case and what they will do to prevent similar incidents in the future. This situation highlights the ongoing fight for equality and respect within the community.
