19 murder convicts granted parole before Youth Cong leader Shuaib’s murder

Kerala's Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala on Friday claimed a political conspiracy in the murder of Youth Congress leader M Shuaib in Kannur, by pointing out that 19 murder case convicts were granted parole ahead of the killing.

Chennithala released to the media copies of a home department order dated January 23, 2018, that carries the recommendation by a review committee to grant conditional parole to the prisoners.

Parole of other prisoners who were already out was also extended on January 16, 22, 23 and 24, he said.

The CPM-led state government is facing the Opposition's heat over the gruesome killing, with the Congress maintaining that the assailants are affiliated to the ruling party.

Shuaib (30), Youth Congress block secretary in Mattannur, died on Tuesday after sustaining serious injuries in an armed attack at Theroor.

He is reported to have sustained 37 injuries below his waist. Two other Congress workers were also injured in the attack.

"The police don't have to search in the dark for the killers. They just need to interrogate the local CPM leadership," Chennithala said.

The 19 prisoners who were granted parole include Sunilkumar aka Kodi Suni, P K Rajeesh and Anoop, all convicted in the 2012 murder of T P Chandrasekharan, who left the CPM to form the Revolutionary Marxist Party.

"The CPM criminals have followed the pattern of their earlier killings. The party has plotted and executed this murder through its killer squads," Chennithala said.

He claimed that the police are waiting for a list of "dummy" names from the CPM to make arrests. Shuaib was involved in recent clashes between student wings of the CPM and Congress.

Even as the local CPM leadership refuted allegations of its involvement in the murder, the Congress has also claimed that Shuaib was earlier marked for murder in a sub-jail by inmates affiliated to the CPM.

They might not directly killed that cong worker. In some cases real murderer and those who took credit for the murder may be different. Those who took credit, will get lakhs of rupees

Bengaluru, Feb 9: The Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Services Department has kept 138 persons across the state under observation in the wake of novel coronavirus (nCov) scare, a health official said on Saturday.

"We are observing 138 people across the state, including in Bengaluru," the department's Communicable Diseases Wing Joint Director Prakash Kumar told news agency.

Though no coronavirus-positive case has been reported from Karnataka so far, four persons have been admitted in a state hospital under medical observation, Kumar confirmed.

Of the 104 samples sent for testing from the state, 85 have, so far, been declared negative. As many as 130 persons in the state were kept under home-isolation observation.

Four Karnataka districts bordering Kerala — Kodagu, Mangluru, Chamarajanagar and Mysuru — continue to be under surveillance after three positive coronavirus cases were reported in Kerala.

On Saturday, it was reported that three persons from Udupi were isolated at the Ajjarkad Government Hospital. Two of them had travelled to China while the other had returned to Udupi from Japan.

From January 20 till Saturday, 14,153 passengers underwent thermal screening at the Kempegowda International Airport, including three who had a history of visiting China’s Wuhan, the epicenter of the nCoV outbreak.

The '104 Arogya Sahayavani' call centre, which people can call for guidance on coronavirus, has clocked 1,792 calls so far.

"In case people with recent travel history to China and other affected countries develop any symptoms, they are requested to call 104 or health authorities and provide all necessary details in order to take necessary measures and are requested to be quarantined at home," reiterated the department.

Three confirmed cases of coronavirus were earlier reported in Kerala and over 722 deaths were confirmed around the world, mostly in mainland China.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
