The family members of 52-year-old, Jagadevappa Kotnoor, who was assaulted by a group of people in his village on the night of October 26 and who breathed his last on Tuesday, staged a protest with the body outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office here on Wednesday.
Last month, the group of people assaulted Kotnoor reportedly after an altercation, causing grievous injuries to him. He was admitted to a private hospital in Kalaburagi for 17 days and on Monday, he was shifted to Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) Hospital. But he did not respond to treatment and breathed his last on Tuesday.
Soon after the body was handed over to the family members after autopsy, the bereaved relatives took the body to the Deputy Commissioner’s office and placed it on the road outside the office building, demanding action against the accused.
