Karnataka Legislative Council’s Deputy Chairman SL Dharme Gowda was found dead on a railway track near Kadur in Chikkamagaluru on Tuesday. It is being suspected as a case of suicide and some preliminary reports suggest that a suicide was recovered along with the Gowda’s body. 


As per reports, the JDS leader visited Chikkamagaluru on Monday evening at around 4 pm in a Santro Car. He spoke to a few people and gathered information about train timings. Gowda then directed his driver to stay back in the car saying that he was going to get some water. However, Gowda did not return. 

The matter is under investigation. There was a death note recovered from the site but as of now we cannot give out details of what’s in it,’ a senior police official told media. 

Expressing his shock over Gowda’s death, JDS leader and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda said, It is shocking to learn the news of Deputy Speaker of the State Legislative Council and JDS leader SL Dharme Gowda’s suicide. He was a calm and decent man. This is a loss of the state (sic).

Terming it to be a loss of an ?impeccable politician,’ JDS leader and former Chief Minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy tweeted, The news of the suicide of senior party leader and of my brother SL Dharme Gowda came as a shock. We lost a politician of impeccable personality. May the Lord have mercy on the family and fans of Dharme Gowda.

SL Dharme Gowda’s last rites will be held at Shimoga. 

A few weeks ago, Gowda was in news after the main opposition Congress leaders manhandled him in the Upper House for trying to chair the session ‘illegally.’ Gowda was dragged from the chair by some Congress leaders who alleged he had left the party and joined the ruling BJP to unlawfully remove the Upper House Chairman Pratap Chandra Shetty from his position.

The TMC has ensured it has additional stock of oxygen concentrators, testing kits, medicines, to name a few. Bangar told HT, “Due to the increasing number of Covid patients, it is necessary for everyone to be alert.”

He added, The number of Covid tests should be increased to stay one step ahead of the disease. As a result, the number of patients is likely to increase due to increased testing. However, as per the ‘test, isolate, treat’ protocol for Covid, it becomes necessary to isolate and treat more and more patients. The testing centres will not remain closed even for a single day. At the same time, more arrangements for testing will be made immediately in public places, markets, railway stations, malls.”
