You read it here first. Ravi Belagere's nightly superhit ETV serial Crime Diary is coming to an end. Yes, The End.
Episode number 719 was telecast tonight and some 8-10 more episodes are in the can. But, once those episodes are shown, TV viewers will have to go sleep without the hearing trademark voice and his trademark dose of the darker side of life: sleaze, grime and crime.
Part of the reason is that everybody is tired: the host, the channel, maybe even viewers.
For, after all, if you take out extraordinary situations like a Raj Kumar death or a Veerappan kidnapping, how easy is it to get excited by another homicide, another suicide, night after night, week after week, year after year?
Another reason has to be the desire to move on: to something new, to something bigger, to somewhere else.
With lots of new channels opening, Kannada television is in a period of churning, and it would be no surprise if Belagere wants to take his myriad skills and wares elsewhere.
Opinion has always been sharply divided about Crime Diary and its Udaya counterpart, Crime Story.
There were those who accepted such serials as a necessary evil; a mirror of real life, which television couldn't avoid. But there were also those who viewed them as the sign of a powerful medium dumbing down to appeal to the lowest common denominator, in the quest for TRPs.
In between, questions were raised of the cascading effect it could have on people's tastes, instigating instant judgements, possibly even copycat crimes.
But the fact that Belagere's serial has gone on for five days a week, for over 143 weeks—three months short of three years—is proof that television takes all types.
Yes, The End is here for Crime Diary, but it may just be the The End of The Beginning.
I am greatly releived to hear the good news. A well known advocate was trying to get the attention of the highest court of the country to stop these stop gap judicial authorities. In most occassions they passed judgements even before aruguments started in the court cases. No doubt the idiot box was becoming more and more idioter…..
Good riddance!
A welcome news. Crime Dairy was sensetaional journalism at its worst. What
Most welcome news TRP ratings be damned. It really showed gory and gruesome details. After all there are such crime stories shown on foreign channels like discovery which is really educative. Why should anything we do always be so crass.
Dear commentors,
Crime diary is coming to an end. I am happy to see so many showcasing their happiness about this news. let us look Crime diary from other angle.
We are having problems with CrimeDiary as we haven’t seen crime in our life. Crime diary gave voice to people who had lost something because of the society. some examples.
A Teacher by name Tara Doddamani got the help from whole of karnataka because of CrimeDiary
Who told you about what police did in the night beats.
Who send Aslam basha to Jail
How did the high-tech prostitution unfolded to junta and made parents to think before sending their girl child to some tom or dick company for an appointment
Life sagas of celebrity like kalpana, shankara nag were showcased in this serial which was no lesser compared to people.
Vinivinc shasthri was made to roll
Justice venkatachala did a lot, who showcased them to us?
It is easy to comment on a successful program. look from different angles will help before we comment
Yes, job of crime diary was to be the voice of people who couldn’t shout. I strongly believe that people who have aired such comments here have never come accross any crime in their life.
the best credential for Ravi’s crime diary was…
People called up his number even before calling police when a crime happened. This has happened on many occasions.
Ravi is like muncipality Bhangi (as in cleaner), you may not like him but he works for society and lends a hand in the interest of society.
hello commentors,
crime diary is not just a crime report.It is a support to those people who are in difficulty.It is the voce of helpless people.
only the criminals wants the end of “Crime diary”,because they have to do their own criminal activities.
(Thanks Girish hampali………U gave correct answer to the commentors…)

Girish,
I am not agree with you.
From CD (Crime Dairy) , some of the good things would have happened.
But most of the time , it was very much irritating to watch.
About the goood things, it was already happening through NewsPapers.
You are repeating the same.
I know you are Ravi’s friend. But that doesnt mean that U always take his side . Start looking the things from the other side…

The Honourable Belagere Ravi Sir,
First of all, many greetings to you on your success in bringing the real facts to the people. Wish you bright future in Bangalore’s history.
The following is the brief history which tells us about the injustice being done with the future of Kannada children of our State.
ITEM
DETAILS
1 School name SRI SUBODH KANNADA MEDIUM SCHOOL (as the board at the school says) . Recently he wiped off “ English medium “ and kept “Kannada medium”
2 Area Near Mookambika temple, Mookambika Nagar, HOSAKEREHALLI – 560085
3 No. of teachers Only four; teaching upto X standard for English and Kannada mediums, also running Hindi school; along with a food material shop in the same timings. So teachers can be found in the shop also during school timings.
4 Qualifications’ of teachers Mr. B.Shyam says he had done M.A. (needs to check by authorized person). His two daughters never went to college. They passed Hindi tests from open university by maintaining canteen at some other place.
5 Name of the person running the school Mr.B.Shyam , who is reportedly converted to Christianity for the sake of money. He and his two daughters along with one more lady from nearby area are teaching nearly 250 students till X th standard in a 15X40 sq.ft site with out adequate bathrooms, playground for children,… i.e, with out proper standards sanctioned by the Government.
6 License/Recognition Not given till now since ten years
7 Any Govt school nearby Yes. Within 500 metres, Government School is present for children which is giving good education, free books, scholarships, mid day meals ( by Infosys, Iskcon).
8 Earnings of Mr.B.Shyam I class baby needs to pay Rs.300/- per month. The fees is more for higher class children. i.e, Rs. 400 X 250 = Rs.100000 i.e, One lakh per month.
Also he collects additional money from children for school functions,…
9 Any scholarships / incentives for children Not provided. In addition students will be seen doing sweeping their house, washing their clothes, doing building work i.e., bringing sand , bricks from nearby areas as Mr. B.Shyam is greedy to get other’s material freely.
10 Status of the children’s parents There are parents of varied statuses. Some are very rich. Some are working maids who are working in other’s houses for the sake of paying their children’s fees.
11 Any complaints made so far So many complaints made. But he is managing by the links at lower level in the Government offices. He says it frankly that he is having links to teach children in his little home.
12 SPECIAL ABOUT HIM WITHIN TEN YEARS, SINCE HE STARTED SCHOOL, HE BOUGHT THE SITE AND CONSTRUCTED OWN HOUSE WHICH COSTS AROUND Rs.20 lakhs. He is also having lot of bank balances in State Bank of Mysore and other banks.
Mr. B.Shyam , migrant to Bangalore first kept canteen with his two daughters and wife. He found that it is earning lesser with more hardwork.
He later realized to earn by the fees from the children by teaching at home. But not like tuition. He kept school itself without any standards and license from the Government.
For his livelihood, he is spoiling the future of children who have to compete with the migrants coming from the various states in the future for their jobs. He is neither having knowledge nor standards to give children the good education with values.
For network, he is also running a food material shop. In this shop, we can see the teachers doing business instead of teaching children.
All this is happening in Silicon City (IT CAPITAL) of India with in few meters from Mysore Ring Road Where IT companies are doing intelligent business connected with the remaining parts of the world.
If everyone, who wants to earn, goes on keeping schools in their houses, what happens to the future of children from Karnataka. They can not achieve their careers to the full but they should remain as slaves.
As you are a social worker enlightening the real facts to the citizens of Bangalore, I herewith kindly request you, Sir to take necessary steps and prevent the future of children from greedy persons’ hands.
While enquiring, please look into the books of children. They are internally teaching English medium (as they say to collect huge fees) but outside board will be saying Kannada medium. The facts won’t come to light unless you collect them very carefully and hidden. Mr. Shyam is very intelligent person and won’t allow to reduce his earnings at any cost. If some one asks about license/recognition, he becomes very much angry.
There may be so many cases like this in Bangalore. Please bring this matter to the notice of Education minister and State Chief minister and do justice to our kids who are to face stiff challenge at Bangalore in the coming future.
Regards,
ManjuShree,
Bangalore.

I was wanting help from Mr. Ravi sir. How can I get in touch with him.
Hello all,
The serial may come to an end but what about the crimes happening in Bangalore? Do you think Police will take enough responsibility to stop the crime? Would the newspapers and other progrmams be able to publish the crimes so effectively, as nowadays media is more interested in the publicity of the marriage of Bachan and Aishwarya or release of Sanjay Dutt. The media is least bothered about the problems of a common man.
It was through this serial people could come to know the corruption happening in every government departments, child kidnapping, dowry problems, stories of fake doctors, fake swamijis…..
I think Ravi Belegere is the only man in Bangalore who has guts to reveal crimes to the public( which is never done by the police). I think most of the citizens in Bangalore trust Ravi Belgere more than police.
If this serial ends, no other person in Bangalore can start such serial again.
Dear sir,
this is pal from bangaloru, if you see anywhere bangalore, maximux the girls are doing prastitute works, in all resorts, hotels, parks etc. the girls are comming from all over india. the main business of bangalore is sex activties. if co operate to me i will show all the palces, waht is going on inside and out side of the bangaloru. please
Hello Pal,
Your words are not true. The main business of Bangalore is not what u have mentioned and girls alone are not involved in this. Please take back your words. If you have really seen crime diary u would not have said this because men who visit such girls are from rich and good families.
Bangalore’s main business is IT and not the one what u have told. Ravi Belgere knows much better than you.
dear sir
I need ur phone number very urgently
Hi Ravi sir pls don’t hide any single hole of icici bank & the Harsh behavior of icici bank recovery agencies waiting for the telecast tonight. And ur tips for the publics

Dear Sir/Madam
Pls don’t Ignore or delete this msg before reading my request letter.
SUB: Regarding the theft on 1000’s of COWS.
I Manjunath S, S/o Subbrayappa, residing in the below address:
#29,5th Cross, Kaverinagar Extn,
Murugeshpalya, HAL Post,
Bangalore 560017.
My only business is having 7 numbers of cows and supplying its milk. Our 4 cows have been robbed at a time on 20th Feb at midnight. I lost my business. I could not lead a life, having wife & childrens.All 4 cows are very very costlier. They are selecting the cows & robbering those selected cows. We tie all the cows in the shed which is 30 meters distance from our house. We consulted everywhere but this robbering has happened in many places namely Murugeshpalya,Kodihalli,Domlur,Indranagar, Appayya Reddy Palya,Ejipuram,Srivaghilu,Koramangala,Dhaddakunte,Thippasandra,Binmangala,Tanary Road,Solai circle,Anandpuram,Jeevanbheemanagar & many more places
Altogether many many numbers of cows have been robbed.
We all have complained to Police station but there is no reply.
As a final try, we are requesting you to help us in finding out our cows. If you are expecting money, we all together will pay you.
We alone could not catch them but they are still coming in the midnight.
On 24th Feb, they had robbed 23 goats which were inside the locked shutter from a meat stall which is nearby Murugeshpalya bus stand.
Like this every night we all are worried about how to chase them & keep the other cows safe away from the thefts. On 27th Feb I saw the vehicle with many cows shouting around 1.30 midnight from far distance. They got escaped very immediately, I couldn’t note down the vehicle number too. But I intimated to all the cow men but no use of it.
We expect them any time coming. Pls take immediate action for this. In finding the theft, our cows will be found & many many numbers of lives’s struggling
Like me will be saved.
Pls do the needful. Waiting for your reply. If interested in helping our life, contact us immediately to 9945690183 or 080-41488732.
Thanking you,
With Regards,
Manjunath

Hi All,
Its a Relief that the Program has come to an end.
A Program can be Good or Bad, Based on the Perception of a Viewer.
I do not see any valid reason to consider this Program to be useful in any way, Why:
1. What is Good and What is Bad is not which has to be thought by some one. We have learnt a lot from our education, Daily Experiences and a Major Chunk from the Wisdoms left behind by our Great Ancestors – Example Chaitanya Neeti and Similar ones.
2. The Program was completely on the Crimes – Performed by the individuals. As per our ancestors or the Psychological studies, What we see and think makes a major difference in our actions. All that we have seen though forgotten will remain in our secondary memory. Knowingly or Unknowingly People Tend to make mistakes.
If the Person/Viewer is inspired by a episode and tries to perform the same again, What about the Dependants or His Family members – How will they face the situation?
Again there would be one more episode, With a Awesome Tag line and even this person will be a part of one of the episodes.
Way to go?
Is this what we need?
Will this Ravi Belagere take the responsibility on his head?
3. Watching Crime again and again, Watching People commit mistakes, Trains our mind to commit the crime without mistakes.
4. People in their Old Age, Sitting at home get depressed due to too much of negativity.
5. Worse Part is the Kids, Its a Motivation factor for them to Create a Crime and not to be caught.
As I stated it depends on the perception of the viewer, Which can be controlled only by the viewer again.
Being More Responsible towards the Public, the Citizen and Society will help us improve it. Please do not spoil it more.
Coming to the above lists about the Positives.
There are lots of Wisdom Books, Which Gives the Knowledge about Common Sense and also Self Help Books.
Which are more useful to Create a Secured Life.
We also have our Rich Cultural Books which gives the same knowledge on how to safe guard our families and our society.
Please read them.
In the present day, People are least bothered to make any Programs based on our ancestors.
Same People Grew up watching our Sacred Ramayana, Mahabharata or Shri Krishna, Today If my son wants to see that same, I have to struggle to find a DVD or CD of the same.
– Am sure one of you will try to send them now, Great but my point is not that and I was able to find the DVD.
To all the Viewers of Crime Story, Crime Patrol and All Those Daily Soaps… Please be selective on what you people watch.
Time is precious make use of it in the best way as possible.
Lets stop blaming others and start giving our best to the society, Only then we will get the best back from it.
Regards,
Lokesh
A Common Man.
