Mangaluru, Sept 25: The funeral prayers of Mohammad Sameer who was allegedly murdered a month after returning from Saudi Arabia was held today at Ganjimutt village on the outskirts of Mangalur city. Hundreds of people including his relatives, friends and villagers took part in the funeral.

The tragic end

35-year-old Sameer, son of Ahmed Saheb, a resident of J M Road near Ganjimutt, Edapadavu, had returned home from Saudi Arabia on August 17 this year, almost two months after his wife Firdous gave birth to their first child.

Sameer, who worked in Saudi Arabia for almost a decade wanted to spend rest of his life in India. On September 13 he went to Bengaluru along with his wife and three-month-old child for a job interview. The couple stayed there together for a couple of days. He had spoken to his mother over the phone on September 15 and everything seemed fine till then.

However, on September 18, Firdous and her daughter returned to her parent’s house at Kaup in Udupi district. She claimed that Sameer deserted her and her child and went with another woman.

On September 20, Sameer’s father lodged a missing complaint with jurisdictional Bajpe police station. The cops then had expressed suspicion about the version of Firdous.

The missing case took a new turn when Sameer’s dead body was found under the limits of Devadanapatti police station in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district on September 23.

Wife is prime suspect

It is suspected that Sameer's wife Firdous has an extra marital affair with a person named Asif from Karkala, who was working as a driver in Bengaluru. The two are absconding since the recovery of Sameer’s body.

According to Bajpe police inspector Parashivamurthy, the enquiry into the murder case will be conducted by the Devadanapatti police station and that the local police will extend complete support.

The post-mortem of Sameer's body was conducted in Tamil Nadu. The body was transported to his hometown through an ambulance.

Inn Lillahi Wa Inn Elahi Rajiyoon,

Since the Culprits belong to one community - must be punished as per Isalamic Sharia in public. So no one dare to commit such crime again.

Then only all can lead a peace full life.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
