Central Crime Branch police, who are probing the case, nabbed Danial Prakash alias Prakashm in Tirunelveli village of Tamil Nadu. The police have so far arrested 17 accused in connection with the blast and Prakash is 18th accused.

Police officials said the arrest was made based on information given by Pervez Basha, who was arrested in Tamil Nadu earlier.

In a press release, officials state that Prakash is one of the prime accused and he was active in supplying explosive material that was brought to Bengaluru.

Cops among injured

A bomb explosion of low intensity near the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party at Malleswaram on April 17, 2013 had injured 17 people, including 12 police personnel. The police personnel were in a Karnataka State Reserve Police van stationed on 24-hour election duty.

Two cars and two two-wheelers were gutted, while the police van was damaged in the explosion that shook the densely populated semi-residential area. The 10.20 a.m. blast coincided with the last day of the filing of nominations for the May 5 Assembly polls. The busy street on Malleswaram, which was in the thick of electoral activity, was covered with shattered glass, mostly from broken vehicle window panes.

RSS leader's SIM

Nearly a month after the blast, police had revealed that the SIM card used to trigger the blast belonged to an RSS leader from the Karnataka-Kerala border. The police, had refused to identify the RSS leader.

However, the police has exonerated the SIM-card owner, and ruled out the involvement of a purported right-wing terror group.

May 22,2020

Mangaluru/Udupi, May 22: Two prominent Qadhis of coastal Karnataka today declared that Eid al-Fitr will be observed in the region on Sunday, May 24.

Twaqa Ahmed Musliyar, the Qadhi of Mangaluru and Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, Qadhi of Udupi Samyukta Jamaat in their separate statements made this announcement.

The decision was taken as there was no news of new moon sighting in the coastal region today.

Ullal Qadhi Qurrathussadath Seyyid Fazal Koyamma Thangal Al Bukhari also announced that 24th May is first of Shawwal and Eid al Fithr will be celebrated on that day.

Comments

Moon sighting for the start of the month of Ramazan, for end of fastings- Eidul Fitr, for the month of Hajj and Muharram:

The moon sighting is so easy. We the people of India and have Indian Standard Time all.over India.

When we can accept the moon sighting in Delhi and announcement from Delhi as it was during times of Radio and Doordarshan news, why can we not accept the sighting of moon in coastal region of Karnataka and in Kerala?

Let us bring about change for good.

Why is rest of Karnataka or India not joining for Eid with coastal region and kerala? At the time of Radio and Dorrdarshan only days, all of India used to wait for 8.00 pm news for updates of moon sighting. So why not accept the moon signing witnesses in Kerala or coastal region?

I request all Indians to accept the witnessing of Moon sighting in any area of India and start and end Fasting.

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

coastaldigest.com news network

May 4,2020

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
