Mysuru-based NGO Odanadi Seva Samsthe is involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of sexually exploited women and children
Odanadi Seva Samsthe, the Mysuru-based NGO involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of sexually exploited women and children, has sought police protection in view of the alleged threat to its founders K. V. Stanly and Parashuram M. L. arising in the wake of registration of an FIR under POCSO Act against Sri Murugha Mutt Seer Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru and his subsequent arrest.
In its letter seeking security sent to the City Police Commissioner Chandragupta, Odanadi Seva Samsthe has cited reports of death threats posed to Odanadi founders Stanly and Parashuram from the supporters of the Seer and the followers of the Mutt, besides the telephone calls they had received from people expressing disappointment with Odanadi over the episode. Hence, Odanadi has sought police protection for K. V. Stanly and Mr. Parashuram individually as well as for their families.
