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, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
