Udupi, Dec 18: Family of the 87-year-old Dalit Giddaiah has been struggling for over 36 years to get justice which has been denied by the Karnataka forest department. The corruption of the department even cost Giddaiah his son Narasimhamurthy who also had worked as an employee at the forest office for 23 years. Narasimhamurthy was denied salary which he was liable to receive for the service he rendered, to a fake appointment made to the same post. This had sent him into a state of depression which claimed his life at the age of 42.
