Mangaluru: Yet another Mentally unsound person, who committed murder, and was admitted to Seon Ashram for treatment was reunited with his brother on 16 May 2017, and will head home to join his family. Jawaharlal Boga, aged 24 with psychiatric disorder from a village in Chhattisgarh, who was booked for murdering a 73-year-old man in Moodbidri is now reunited with his family.
Jawaharlal Boja, son of Rohidas Boga, had arrived in a village near Padukonaje near Moodbidri in April 2014 as a worker of a bore well agency. The mentally ill Jawaharlal lost his way when his colleagues left him alone. On his search for food and water, he found the 73-year-old villager Sanjeeva Poojari. Depressed and upset over hunger, Jawaharlal killed Sanjeeva Poojari hitting his head on April 30, 2014. Following this, Jawaharlal was arrested on May 1, 2014, and a case under Section 302 of IPC was registered at Moodbidri police station against him.
DKDLSA member secretary and senior civil judge Mallanagouda Patil had said the court found Jawaharlal’s behaviour suspicious during the trial and directed the jail authorities to send him for mental check up at National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience (Nimhans) in Bengaluru. “The medical reports from Nimhans suggested the accused is suffering from a psychiatric disorder. Hence the court has decided to acquit him of the murder charge. Accordingly, a miscellaneous case has been registered in this connection on February 22 this year and public prosecutor Bannadi Raju Poojari has been appointed as the amicus curiae. Meanwhile, the DKDLSA wrote a letter on April 20 to its counterpart in Kanker district in Chhattisgarh seeking their help to trace the family of Jawaharlal. Later, constables Vijay Kanchan and Akhil Ahammed of Moodbidri police station went to Chhattisgarh and brought Jawaharlal’s brother Nohar Boga to Mangaluru,” Patil said.
Last Friday, The First Additional District and Sessions Court here issued an order to send Jawaharlal to his native village in Chhattisgarh along with his brother Nohar Boga. A series of steps taken by Dakshina Kannada District Legal Services Authority (DKDLSA) and the efforts of Mangaluru City Police helped Jawaharlal reunite with his family in Kodekurse village of Durgkondal in Kanker district, Chhattisgarh.
