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.

Bengaluru, Feb 28: “Those who struggle to come up can understand people’s problems better. Yediyurappa is one such leader who has reached this position after a struggle,’’ said former chief minister Siddaramaiah, in praise of Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, who celebrated his 78th birthday on Thursday in Bengaluru.

Siddaramaiah was the only non-BJP leader on the dais, who not only attended the event, but was present throughout. He released a coffee table book, ‘A Leader who Saw Tomorrow’, on Yediyurappa’s life and achievements, compiled by The New Indian Express.

Dwelling on the political spectrum and human relationships, Siddaramaiah said, “Our ideologies are different, but that is limited to politics. Politics should not come between personal relationships.’’ Recalling his association with Yediyurappa, Siddaramaiah said that in 1983, he and Yediyurappa had entered the Assembly for the first time.

“Yediyurappa did not become chief minister just like that. It took years of struggle and hard work. We both have many similarities — neither of us came from political backgrounds. We came up through struggle and those who come from such backgrounds understand people,’’ he said.

Siddaramaiah said that it was Yediyurappa who first became chief minister, and he had reached the post only five years later. “I am five years younger than him, maybe that is the reason,’’ he said on a lighter note. Yediyurappa has become chief minister four times, but I have been chief minister only once, he added. He also spoke about how Yediyurappa had played an important role in bringing the BJP to power in the state, the party’s first government in South India. “Very few leaders know the pulse of the state and Yediyurappa is one among them,’’ he said.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah should issue strict orders to the police in Delhi to act in nation's interest and control the ongoing violence.

"Distressing scenes in Delhi!! #DelhiBurning as a result of ulterior motives of divisive forces within our Country. Police have completely failed in their responsibility. People have to remain calm and promote peace in the area for their own benefit," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

"Seven people dead and hundreds are injured, Amit Shah should issue strict orders to police to act in nation's interest and not in the interest of few people. As Gandhiji said, An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Peace and harmony should be our moto," he added.
Siddaramaiah further stated that the "triggering point of the #DelhiViolence seems to be the inciting speech of BJP leader Kapil Mishra."

"This actually qualifies for a sedition case as it was aimed at disturbing national peace and security. Police have to arrest him and bring normalcy in Delhi," he wrote.

Siddaramaiah has further asked Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to be careful "before situation goes out of hand."

"Delhi riots are in front of eyes. There will be tough situation here in state as well if those loose tongue leaders in BJP are not stopped in the state," he wrote.
As many as 18 people have lost their lives and around 190 are injured in the violence that has been raging in parts of North-East Delhi from Monday.
