Odanadi Seva Samsthe, the Mysuru-based NGO, involved in rescue and rehabilitation of sexually exploited women and children, has sought police protection in view of the alleged threat to life arising in the wake of registration of an FIR and arrest of Murugha Mutt seer Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru.
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 K.V. Stanly and Parashuram M.L. from supporters of the seer and followers of the mutt, besides the telephone calls they had received from people expressing disappointment with Odanadi. Hence, Odanadi has sought police protection to Mr. Stanly and Mr. Parashuram individually as well as to their families
Odanadi has also urged the city Police Commissioner to provide protection to Odanadi’s Girls Home and Rehabilitation Centre – Madilu – and its residents and staff, besides a gunman for their security.
