There were three fishermen on-board the ill-fated boat. They are Manex (45), Kumaran (30) and Chandan, all three fishermen from Tamil Nadu.

During its fishing expedition on Saturday afternoon the boat began to sink near a mouth of estuary due to turbulent weather. The helpless fishermen started screaming for help.

Fazal, a resident of Kotepura in Ullal, who witnessed this tragedy, jumped into see and with the help of his friend Rameez managed to rescue Manex.

Fazal once again jumped into see to help the other fishermen. However, his head hit a rock in the sea and he breathed his last at a hospital. Fazal was known in Ullal area as a Good Samaritan.

Meanwhile, Kumaran was saved by the Coast Guard through a helicopter. Chandan is still missing and he is feared dead. The Coast Guard personnel have continued search operation.

Dragging religion on terrroism - Its also a narrow minded deception from the media.. right . When someone does good it irks others..

Inala lilai wainail rajoon

Nowardays people think Muslim's are bad, even if they do a job still some non Muslim's problem, as per u all know.... Instead praying for them for rest in peace ,bringing religious issues and matter in middle.... My people pray for them ...and leave all hateness between religion.... Pray allah u give them high place and degree in janah

Dear Manoj,
The intention of specifying the rescuer as MUSLIM, is just to show dot those ill minded people who have negative image on all Muslims.

This is the logic behind it. Everybody should know though the choice of religion is their own will/ business. However maintaining harmony with other religion has no bound and no barrier.

Unfortunately religion has been identified in the society as TITLE of Criminals OR Innocents.
We are way behind KERALITES as they live together peacefully with cooperation, in harmony, keeping the religion as their own business.
Religion never says to severe the relation with others.
Let us make our living style also same as Keralites or better than them.
May God Help

Shaheen School’s anti-CAA skit hasn’t caused disharmony, says Court, grants bail to all accused

News Network

March 6,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 6: All the arrested in a case of sedition filed over a school play in Karnataka's Bidar have been granted anticipatory bail by a court that said the case lacked enough basis.

The play, themed on protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), "has not caused any disharmony in the society", said the district and sessions court in Bidar.

The play, performed in January by the children of prestigious Shaheen School, landed in trouble when a sedition complaint was filed over an 11-year-old girl's lines - enacting an elderly woman, she said if anyone asked for documents she would hit them with slippers.

That led to a sedition case and the police questioning children, teachers and the school management over many rounds.

"The drama has not caused any disharmony in the society. Considering all the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the ingredients of Section 124A of IPC (Sedition) are prima facie lacking," said the court.

Five members of the school management team have been granted protection from arrest. Earlier, the head teacher and the mother of the student who spoke the dialogue were sent to custody, but on other charges including the abetment of an offence. They were not accused of sedition. They were later granted bail.

The repeated questioning of young students and the arrest of the widowed mother of a student caused a huge uproar in the town.

An order is expected soon on the bail application in another sedition case in Karnataka, against three Kashmiri students. The students, who were studying in Hubbali in north Karnataka, are facing charges for reportedly using pro-Pakistani slogans in an online post. The Hubbali Bar Association had asked its members not to represent the students. Lawyers from Bengaluru who went to Hubbali represent the students were heckled.

On Thursday, a team of lawyers from different districts again went to Hubballi and were provided police protection. BT Venkatesh, one of the lawyers, said he had a meeting with bar association members and that the matter was sorted out. The students have applied for bail and an order is expected next week.
