Mysore/Mysuru: Manoranjan is the son of Devarajegowda from Mallapura village in Arkalgud taluk, Hassan district. The family relocated to Mysuru for Manoranjan’s education. Despite owning 9 acres of land and a significant coconut plantation, Manoranjan showed little interest in agriculture, seldom accompanying his father to the property.
Focusing on his son’s education, even Devarajegowda did not press Manoranjan to take up farming. Manoranjan’s interests and activities ultimately led him down a different and unfortunately troubled path.
