|June 01, 2025
TEJU Kumar, brother of Ashwini—who was injured in the landslide at Montepadav near Deralakatte in Mangaluru on Friday, has filed a complaint with the Konaje police, accusing the local Panchayat Development Officer (PDO), engineers and contractors of the zilla panchayat, and officials of the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Ltd (KRIDL) of carrying out unscientific work on the hill above the house that resulted in the landslide.
In the landslide on Friday in which their house was flattened, Ashwini and her father-in-law Kanthappa Poojary suffered serious injuries, while her children—Aryan (3) and Aarush (2)—and her mother-in-law Prema Poojary died. Both legs of Ashwini, who is being treated at a private hospital in Deralakatte, have been amputated, while Kanthappa is being treated at the same hospital. Ashwini is stable, and her condition is being monitored.
