Mangaluru, Jul 26: Nearly a decade after a man was murdered by group of miscreants to continue extra-marital affair with his wife, a local court has convicted five persons and sentenced to them to life imprisonment.

afffarThe murder of Siddappa, 29, from Bagalkote, who married Kasturi and lived in a rented house in Kuloor in Mangaluru taluk, took place in December 2007. The incident came to light after two years when his dead body was recovered.

Principal district and sessions court on Saturday sentenced five persons accused of murdering a 29-year-old labourer and burying his body in a pit in December 2007.

Mohammed Anwar of Balloorgudde often visited Siddappa's house and developed a physical relationship with Kasturi. According to the chargesheet filed by the Mangaluru Rural Police Station, Kasturi had left her son at Anwar's house, which Siddappa did not approve of.

Anwar's frequent visit to their house and her relationship with him also led to frequent fights between Kasturi and Siddappa. It was then that Anwar and Kasturi decided to get rid of Siddappa.

The duo called Siddappa to a place near the railway track in Balloorgudde. Anwar, along with his friends Mohammed Naufal, 23, Mohammed Salim, 26, Abdul Bashir, 37 and Abdul Naushad, 32, strangled Siddappa and buried his body near the railway track.

Basappa, Siddappa's brother filed a missing complaint with the jurisdictional police station on August 22, 2009. The police questioned Kasturi, who revealed the murder plot and also showed the place where the body was buried.

Then police inspector B R Lingappa arrested all five accused. The pit in which Siddappa was buried was opened in the presence of the then AC Prabhulinga Kavalikatti. The skull and bones which were recovered were sent for DNA examination that revealed that remains were of Siddappa. Public prosecutor Pushparaj presented evidences and 23 witnesses including forensic experts Raghavendra Babu Y P, Suresh Kumar Shetty and Kavalikatti.

K S Bilagi, the principal district and session's court judge, sentenced Mohammed Anwar and his four friends to life imprisonment including three years of rigorous imprisonment and were directed to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 for destroying evidence. The court did not pass any order against Kasturi as she was reported missing after she obtained bail.

Life imprisonment is not enough for miscreants, they should be hanged in public.

Bellary, Jan 4: A BJP MLA has apparently threatened 'minority' Muslims against participating in anti-CAA protests, saying that opposing the new Citizenship Act will not be good for them and they will have to face serious repercussions.

"It's just a caution for those who are protesting against the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). We are 80 per cent and you (Muslims) are 18 per cent. Imagine what will happen if we take charge," MLA Somashekar Reddy told a gathering here on Friday.

"Beware of the majority when you live in this country. This is our country. If you want to live here, you will have to, like the Australian Prime Minister said, follow the country's traditions," he added.

He said: "So, I warn you that CAA and NRC are made by Modi and Amith Shah. If you will go against these acts, it won't be good."

Continuing to spew venom, the MLA further said, "If you wish, you can go to Pakistan. We don't have any issues. Intentionally, we would not send you."

He said that the community should live in harmony with Hindus. "If you will act as enemies, we should also react like enemies," he said.

Earlier, Bengaluru BJP MP Tejaswi Surya reportedly called CAA opposers as "puncturewalas".

The nation has been witnessing massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has specifically stated that the NRC was never discussed.

Reddy,

 

This is not your father's country nor any other's father's country.

Eh desh kisika baap ka naheen hai.

 

All have sacrificed to liberate this nation.

Your  Gundagiri will not succeed. See soon the result.

 

To goto Pakistan, we  have choice to go or not. But you don't have choice.

 

Your brain also black, we don't what about the color of your heart.

 

Jai Bharath, Jai all countries
