Battathur 06-05-2012 From, Narayana K. Aged 55 years Son of late.Mr.Devayya K.

Address: Residing at Battathur House Battathur, Post & Village Paneyal Hosadurg Taluk Kasargod District. To, The Station House Officer Bekal Police Station Bekal Post, Hosdurga Taluk Kasargod District. Dear Sir, Sub: Complaint against one Mr.Laxmikanatha and Mr.Vishwanatha, both are sons of late.Mr.Narayana P, residents of Achekere House, Near Panjukkola, Paneyal Village and Post. Reg. I respectfully submit as follows:1. That yesterday at around 5 p.m, I, along with my wife Smt.Kamalaxi had attended the family discussion meeting held in my father-in-laws residence situated at a place called Yerol, [which is situated near Nelyakdka government school]. The said meeting was conducted in the presence of an elderly family well wisher namely Mr.Nelyadka Ananda Swamy to discuss about post death ceremonies & rites of late Mr.Narayana Yerollu in accordance with Hindu custom. [Said late Mr.Narayana Yerollu is my father-in-law and maternal grandfather of above said accused persons namely Mr.Laxmikantha and Mr.Vishwanatha].

2. In the course of discussion, said Mr.Laxmikanatha suddenly diverted the subject and raised the issue of construction of his house before partition of the property in a particular location of the family property left behind by my father in-law and their grandfather late Mr.Narayana Yerollu. At that juncture, I reminded him of the purpose of meeting and requested him to assist all of us come to a collective decision on the issue of conducting post death rituals and rites rather than discussing about property matters. This enraged said Mr.Laxmikantha and his younger brother Mr.Vishwanatha and both got agitated and started staring at me and my wife as both of them are attempting to build houses and have already started levelling the land / earth moving without the consent of other co-owners including my wife and mother-in-law. Sensing their tensed mood, I asked them to maintain restraint and show dignity in the family meeting. At that point of time, Mr.Laxmikanatha addressing me loudly uttered _______________________________________________________________ _____________ [Roughly translated in English as - who are you to bark here?. You are a son of a prostitute]. Also he used many other filthy and abusive words and language which I cannot record here as the same is below my dignity and unparliamentarily to record on the paper. This he said in the presence of all persons present in the meeting in a loud voice with an intention to insult my dignity and reputation. This came as a rude shock and I was speechless for a moment. My wife started crying and the attendees of the meeting strongly objected for using perse defamatory statement. At that moment I asked him to immediately apologise to proceed further with the discussion or else wind up the meeting. At that point, Mr.Laxmikantha and his younger brother namely Mr.Vishwanatha rushed near me and

attempted to catch my shirt collar and elder one uttered _______________________________________________________________ [Roughly translated in English as - I will not let you go from here. I will kill you here itself]. There was a scuffle and commotion and the atmosphere was emotionally charged. My wife intervened and tried to protect me from the attack aimed at me as an attempt on my life. She was pushed to the ground by Mr.Vishwanatha and she was called as____________ [Roughly translated in English as - prostitute ] by Mr.Vishwanatha. At this juncture, the people gathered including one Mr.Sundara asked us to leave the spot as the accused might use sharp weapons and attempt to kill us as they have lost reason and sense. Hence, we moved away from the spot and rescued ourselves by rushing to our home. 3. It is further submitted that yesterday whole night we could not sleep and mentally agonised and depressed. Further, I did not have the means of private transportation to rush to the police station due to Kerala State wide hartal called by a political party on account of murder of a political leader one Mr.Chandrashekaran Nair at Vadagara. Hence, I am lodging this complaint today. 4. I further submit that there is imminent and constant threat to my life and also that of my wife from the above named accused persons. They are young men wielding enormous support from the local rowdies in the village and will not hesitate to execute their threat of killing us for the sake of taking revenge. Hence, I and my wife need protection for life and liberty besides stringent legal action for the commission of offence as briefly explained above. I will narrate the details of the incident during the course of investigation in Kannada or colloquial Malayalam as I can speak in Malayalam. [My mother tongue is Kannada and I am a matriculate]. I am lodging this complaint for self and also on behalf of my wife Smt.Kamalaxi. 5. Under the circumstance, I request your kind self to investigate into the matter, take stern legal action and provide protection to our life in accordance with law. I am sure that you will do the needful and oblige. Thanking You, Yours faithfully,

[ Narayana K] Complainant Note: As I do not know Malayalam language, I could not draft the complaint personally. Hence, I took the assistance of Mr.Vivekananda Paniyala to draft this complaint and submit to the police authority as I am not well versed with the legal / prosecution process. I will explain the full details of the complaint / incident during the course of investigation in my own langauge.
