Mangaluru, Sep 23: In a shocking incident a local Congress leader was hacked to death on Friday at Ivarnadu in communally sensitive Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.
The victim has been identified as Ismail (52), a resident of Nelyamajalu village. He was the Congress Minority Wing local Karavali Valaya (coastal unit) President.
The incident occurred around 1.30pm when Ismail was returning after offering Juma (Friday) prayer at a mosque in Ivarnadu.
Police said Ismail was about to reach his car after completing his prayers when miscreants attacked him with machetes. He died on the spot.
Bhushan Gulabrao Borase, Superintendent of Police, DK said that reason for attack is not known and search is on to nab the culprits.
Borase added that fingerprint experts from Mangaluru and Bengaluru were arrived to the spot and refused to divulge further information.
According to sources old rivalry is said to be reason behind the attack.
Two years ago, Ismail and his wife Waheeda Ismail, who was the president of Bellare Grama Panchayat were attacked by miscreants.
The latest attack could be a sequel to it, police said, adding that it could be personal and no communal angle had been revealed yet.
A case has been registered at Bellare Police Station and investigation is on.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.

Idiot YOGESH, don't just say what ever you get into your mind, I work for RSS & MRM, You should know the fact that Ismail nelyamajalu used to visit tirupathi lord balaji for darshan with his family once or twice a year, he also used to conduct jathara(festival) at a temple in sullia, DK, every year. He was a very kind human being more than a muslim & a politician.
A very good husband, father, brother and a friend, I personally know him since 2013.
Please know the facts before you bark.

Death is not a disaster simply a passing from this world onto the next. It should make us reflect and ponder about the purpose of the life and what will become of us after death. Innah ilahi wa inna ilaihi rajihoon Deep condolence insha Allah grant him forgiveness and higher in heavens. Ameen
I have conducted a survey of Friday murders in coastal Karnataka. Especially immediately after or before Muslims special prayers. 99% of such murders are committed by Muslims only.
So Yogesh is making a confession that BJP is behind this murder ?
Shocking incident, he was really a prominent leader of congress. anyways rest in peace.
May his soul rest in peace
whoever made this brutal crime must be punish them in the like same. seriously a inhuman act.
How people can b so cruel? Y can't we lead our four days of life happily. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
Innalillahi va inna ilayhi rajivoon
Innalillah
Inna lillahi wa inna elaihi rajiwoon.
