Mangaluru, Nov 30: Three youths have been arrested by Dakshina Kannada district police on charge of kidnapping and trafficking a two-month old baby under the limits of Uppinangadi police station, Tuesday.

babyThe arrested have been identified as Muhammed Udaif (28), from Bengaluru, Siyab (24) from Hirebandady, and Sameer (21). Police said that locals in Perne had complained that three young men were seen with a newborn and had hired a house. They suspected that the baby could have been kidnapped.

Based on their complaint, police went to the house. During questioning, the youngsters said that they had agreed to look after the baby as the father, hailing from Bengaluru, had told them that soon after giving birth, the baby's mother had left for Nepal.

Police are investigating whether their claims are true. "We have asked the parents of the child to come to Puttur for verification. There will be a DNA test conducted to ascertain the real parents," police added. Parents of the child are expected to come on Wednesday evening to Puttur.

The baby is in the care of the Child Welfare Department in Puttur. A case has been registered at Uppinangadi police station.

None should jump to conclusion that baby was kidnapped unless thorough investigation is done. May be the parents sold the baby to others. Let us wait and see.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.
