Mangaluru, Jan 7: Abdul Hakeem Kuloor, the brother of Ahmed Basheer, who passed away at a hospital on Sunday four days after he was attacked by communal hatemongers at Kottara Chowki in the city, has urged people not to disrupt peace.

“When my brother Basheer was alive everyone respected him. This is time to pray for his soul. No one should try to disrupt peace. There will be no procession,” said a teary-eyed Hakeem, who had shared a close bond with his brother.

The aggrieved brother’s timely statement gains significance in the wake of attempts by saffron forces to take out funeral procession of Deepark Rao, who was hacked death by another gang hours before attack on Basheer on January 3.

When the news of Basheer’s death began to spread, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader and Mangaluru City North MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava rushed the AJ Hospital and urged the people who had gathered outside the hospital to see the mortal remains to maintain peace. ADGP Kamal Panth too visited the hospital.

Hakeem said that the last rites of Basheer will take place on the premises of Mohiuddin Juma Masjid at Kuloor-Panjimogeru. “Soon after the postmortem the mortal remains will be kept at Basheer’s house at Akashbhavan where only female family members are allowed. Later, the body will be taken to the mosque where Mayyit Namaz will be held. Before burial relatives and friends can see the Basheer’s face there,” he said.

Mangaluru: The police team investigating the case of bomb planting at the international airport here on January 20, took suspect Aditya Rao to several places in the city where he had frequented in the past few months, police said on Wednesday.

Police had earlier recovered a box from his bank locker at Udupi that contained a white powder which he claimed was cyanide. The substance has been sent to the Forensic Science laboratory for confirmation.

On further interrogation, Rao told police that he had a locker in a bank in Mangaluru also, where he was taken. Only some papers were seen in the locker, police said. He was also taken to the room where he stayed while he was working at a hotel in Balmatta here and to a hardware workshop from where he had purchased some spare parts, they said.

A 'live' explosive device was found in an unattended bag near a ticket counter of the departure gate of the airport here on January 20, triggering a scare before it was defused at a nearby open ground.

Police had released a picture of a man captured on CCTV camera as the suspect who placed the bomb and Rao later surrendered. Meanwhile, sources said the airport authorities got an anonymous call on Monday evening that a bomb had been planted in the airport. After thorough search, it was found to be a hoax. City police commissioner P S Harsha has warned of stringent action against those who make such calls.
