DYFI seeks to expose conspiracy behind Aboobakar Siddiq murder

Kasaragod, Aug 10: The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) has sought to broaden the ambit of the investigation into the recent murder of CPI(M) loyalist Aboobakar Siddiq, near Uppala, to expose the alleged conspiracy behind the crime.

“The shocking attack on Aboobakar Siddiq, 21, late on August 5 at Songal was apparently a fallout of resolute intervention by Left activists against lingering communal frictions and the growing clout of the liquor lobby, DYFI State president A N Shamseer, MLA, said in a statement here.

The investigation should be broadened to see that the possible conspiracy angle was exposed as the murder seemed to have been executed in a meticulous fashion, he said. Aboobakar Siddiq was stabbed to death around 11 p.m. on August 5 allegedly by two Bharatiya Janata Party loyalists identified as Asvath and Karthik following a brawl over trading illicit liquor in the area.

The BJP loyalists, who were returning home after taking part in a birthday function, in a fit of anger stabbed the youth using a knife.

The BJP leadership here maintained that the crime was not perpetrated out of political enmity and was a fallout of the rift over the flourishing illicit liquor business in the locality. 

A special 15-member investigating team headed by Coastal Police Circle Inspector Sibi Thomas arrested the duo the following day and they were remanded in judicial custody.

Bengaluru, Apr 28: Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday suggested that the government can allow sale of liquor in green zones. 

“Merely because there is an economic slowdown in the state, I don’t recommend that alcohol should be allowed to be sold. But, wherever there are green districts, they can open (liquor sale) with certain restrictions, I think,” Siddaramaiah, the leader of the Opposition, told reporters. 

There are 14 districts in the state that are categorised as green because they do not have any active COVID-19 cases. The green districts are: Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Haveri, Davangere, Shivamogga, Chitradurga, Udupi, Chikmagalur, Hassan, Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, Ramanagara and Kolar.

There is tremendous pressure on the B S Yediyurappa administration to revive the economy as the lockdown has dried up all revenue sources. Excise, alone, accounts for 18 per cent of Karnataka’s own tax revenue. 

The Excise department recently suggested allowing regulated sale of liquor through the state-run MSIL outlets. The government, however, did not approve it fearing crowding and backlash from the Centre.
