The allegations against an inspector who had since been suspended in connection with the death of the young law student Mofia Parveen has yet again thrown light on the effectiveness, or rather the absence of it, of informal dispute resolution talks involving the parties concerned being regularly held at police stations across the State.
The victim in her alleged suicide note had sought action against the inspector along with her husband and in-laws almost as a 'death wish' citing his rude behaviour after being summoned to the station in connection with a domestic violence (DV) petition she had filed.
This was not the first attempted mediation role of police going spectacularly wrong.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
