Well-wishers of Dr Mohan Alva to Hold Massive Support Meet at Swaraj Maidan

Mangaluru: “The investigation in Kavya’s death case should be done swiftly. Whoever is involved in this case should be punished. The police should give all the information in Kavya’s death case. We are waiting for the post-mortem report. We are not against any kind of investigation in this case. There are 26,000 students studying in Alva’s institutions and their parents want to support Dr Mohan Alva. In this connection we have organized a “Bruhut Bembala Sabhe”, (Massive Support Meet), on August 12 at the Swaraj Maidan”, said former minister Amarnath Shetty in a press meet held at Hotel Woodlands here on August 10.

Addressing the mediapersons Amarnath Shetty said, “We all know the contribution of Dr Mohan Alva. More than 26000 students are pursuing education out of which 4500 are getting free education under various quotas. Kavya’s death has caused great pain for her family members and they are in grief. We understand their pain, her death has also caused us pain. At the same time some media, especially on the social media there are defaming comments about Dr Mohan Alva and Alva’s institution. Alva’s well-wishers are deeply hurt by the attitude of the media and have decided to hold a support meet at the Swaraj Maidan.”

Amarnath Shetty further said, “To investigate Kavya’s death and bring out the truth we have the police, court and the investigation team. Dr Mohan Alva and his entire Institution is ready to co-operate with the police for any investigation. When Dr Mohan Alva is ready for any investigation why are some persons and media targeting and defaming Dr Mohan Alva? Why are some groups speaking as if Dr Mohan Alva as a murderer? We are waiting for the post-mortem report to come out. If anyone involved in Kavya’s death or suicide, be it Dr Mohan Alva or the Institution we will not support them.”

Narayan P M, Sripathi Bhat, Krishna Raj Hegde, Todar Divakar Shetty and Ashwin Pereira were also present.
