Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take part in the rally. Following a heated argument, the assailants stabbed Santhosh in the thigh and he died at a hospital later.

While the BJP claims that the murder was politically motivated, the JC Nagar Police officers investigating the case say otherwise. Inspector Girish Naik of JC Nagar Police Station said that the murder happened after a drunken brawl between Santhosh and his friends.

According to Girish, there are four accused in the case - Wasim, Phillip, Umar and Irfan. And police managed to arrest Wasim and Phillip a few hours after the incident occurred.

“During interrogation, we received information that the four men were not happy about Santhosh asking them to buy him drinks and smokes. A heated argument began and when things escalated, Santhosh got stabbed. There is no political or communal reasons for Santhos's death. Santhosh and the four men were neighbours and grew up together," Inspector Girish said.

If BJP claims that it's a political murder, then no need of probe. Because they used to kill their own workers and blame others

Political killings are increasing. People should realise that there is no use for killing and dying for political party.

This is a political killing.  Current Karnataka Govt is anti Hindu and killing very patriatic + peace loving RSS activists.  Mr. Nalin and Shobakaa should call for karnataka bandh and in case action taken they should go for burning whole state.   Govt should award 50 lakhs rupees to deceased family and declare him as National Hero and Martyre.  He gave his life for the nation and should be rewarded.  There is a wrong allegation that he was drunken.  He never drink.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.

Kasaragod, Feb 17: A Kerala Muslim couple conducted the wedding of their Hindu foster daughter at a Bhagavathi temple in Kerala, scripting another tale of communal harmony at Kasaragod.

The wedding ceremony was held on Sunday.

The woman Rajeshwari tied the knot with Vishnu Prasad in the presence of family and friends belonging to both Hindu and Muslim communities.

Abdulla and Khadeeja adopted Rajeshwari after her father who worked at Abdulla's farm died. Rajeshwari's mother also passed away when she was a child.

Rajeshwari grew up alongside Abdulla and Khadeeja's three sons- Shameem, Najeeb and Shereef.

Earlier in January this year, cutting across the lines of religion, a mosque in Kerala's Kayamkulam hosted a Hindu marriage ceremony.
