Recently the BJP MLA of Udupi, Udupi district, Karnataka, Mr. Raghupati Bhat's wife Padmapriya died under terribly tragic circumstances. In the beginning, it was told that she was kidnapped; then Home Minister Acharya, who is unbelievably protective of his MLA, declared that she was found in Kolar and was being brought back. I have never seen a Home Minister giving judgemental statements on behalf of the MLA; but this man did. Next thing we heard was that Padmapriya killed herself in New Delhi. Further information came out that Padmapriya, who was extremely unhappy in her marriage wanted a divorcce. Bhat commanded the situation and she seems to have feared for her life, and with the help of a friend, Atul Rao, she secured a job in a call centre in Delhi, took a flat, car, mobile, bought cloths and went to Delhi, perhaps with the hope that she will be secure there as BJP does not have much power. She was wrong. She was traced, threatened, Atul was manhandled, and she died without even leaving a note. Her mother said "They purposely killed her". Many questions remain unanswered: How did she get the rope? Why didn't she leave a note behind? How her husband managed to reach there when they broke open the door? Was it really a suicide? I know that CBI cannot interfere unless the State asks for it, and the BJP rule in Karnataka will do everything in maintaining the 'fair' name of Bhat. Still, isn't it a case for CBI? Is it so difficult even now for a woman to leave a powerful husba

Learn not to politicise every thing. The sad incident has nothing to do with BJP. Still, going by your logic for a moment, Congress contolled Delhi Police will not leave any stone unturned to dig out 'embarassing facts' for BJp as the crime (murder/suicide) was finally committed in Delhi.
