Ismail (52), a resident of Nelyamajalu village and president of Congress Minority Wing of local unit, was brutally hacked to death by a gang of miscreants on September 23 in front of a mosque when he was about to board his car after offering juma (Friday) prayer.

Bhushan Gulabrao Borase, superintendent of police, on Monday told media persons that three teams of police managed to catch the seven accused from three different places in two days.

Abdul Rashid alias Munna (32), a resident of Kulaimane in Bantwal, Abbas alias Ibn Abbas (32), a resident of Krishnapura were arrested on Sunday from Mattu village in Udupi. On the same day Umar Farook AK (32), a contract killer from Kedila village was arrested at Kadaba in Puttur taluk.

Four more accused — Rahman Bellare alias Rahim Bellare, Yakub Bejai, Farooq Bellare and Suhail Nandavara — who plotted the murder, were arrested on Monday based on the information given by the trio.

A Maruti Ritz car bearing number KA 19 MB 3068 which was used to carry out murder was also seized by the police.

Property row

Mr Borase said that a property dispute between two of the seven arrested accused and the management committee of the Zakariah Juma mosque in Bellare led to the murder of Ismail as he had apparently supported the mosque committee members.

He said, Rahman Bellare and Yakub Bejai hatched a plan to eliminate Ismail after the latter used his influence to help the mosque committee against them.

As per plan, the contract killers were waiting in their car outside the mosque. When Ismail stepped out of the mosque and began to walk towards his car, the assailants followed and attacked him with lethal weapons. Even though Ismail had a licensed pistol, he had left it in the car before entering the mosque.

The SP said that in 2014 Rahman Bellare and his brother Siddiq Bellare had attacked Ismail and his wife Waheeda Ismail, who was the president of Bellare Grama Panchaya over the same issue.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.

Kasaragod, June 2: As Kerala commenced fresh academic year with online classes from Monday, a ninth-standard student at Malappuram district in North Kerala ended life allegedly owing to lack of online study facilities like television connection and a smartphone at her house.

Devika, daughter of Balakrishnan, hailing from a Dalit community at Valancherry, about 25 kilometres from Malappuram town, ended her life.

Balakrishnan told the media that he could not recharge the television connection owing to financial crunches. He was working as a daily wage worker and owing to COVID-19 and lockdown, he was not having much work these days. 

The family also did not have a smartphone or computer. The family members alleged that Devika was quite upset as she could not attend the virtual class that began on Monday. She was a student of a nearby government school.

Local police said that Devika, who was the eldest among four children of Balakrishnan, was suspected to have self-immolated using kerosene at a premise close to her house on Monday evening. The cause and provocations were still being probed only. No suicide notes were recovered yet.

Kalaburagi, Mar 7: Congress and JDS MLAs are eagerly waiting to join BJP, said former minister and chairman of Nijasharana Ambigara Choudaiah Abhivradhi Nigama, Baburao Chinchansur, here on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference here, Baburao said if the BJP top brass gives a green signal to include MLAs of other parties, both Congress and JDS would be almost empty. Many leaders, including D K Shivakumar and G Parameshwara, won’t support Siddaramaiah and the former CM will have to find his own way in the coming days, he predicted. He said Congress will not be coming to power in Karnataka for the next 20 years, he said.

Chinchansur thanked Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa for providing Rs 50 crore for Nijasharana Ambigara Choudaiah Abhivrudhi Nigama in the budget. He also said that a delegation will be taken to New Delhi under the leadership of the CM, after the budget session, to pressure the Union government to include Koli community in ST category.
