Bengaluru, Jan 21: Two days after a 31-year-old woman employee of IBM was found murdered in her apartment in Bangalore, the police arrested the suspected killer near Gurgaon. Kusuma Rani Singla was transferred to the Karnataka capital six months ago from Noida.

Sukhbir SinghPolice sources said Singla, a divorcee hailing from Punjab, had befriended the suspected killer, identified as Sukhbir Singh, on Facebook few weeks ago.

According to Additional Commissioner (Bengaluru-East) P Harishekaran, Singh, during his meeting with Singla, apparently demanded Rs 50,000 and a flight ticket from her which she denied. He then used a laptop charge cord to strangle her.

Angered by this, he strangulated her to death using a laptop charger cord. A pen was also used in the crime, and an about two-inch deep wound is seen on her right eyebrow, he said. "On January 19, Singh flew into Bangalore from Delhi and went to Singla's house by 12.15pm. He was there till 3.30 pm," Harishekaran said.

An altercation erupted between the two that led to the murder of Singla, he said. Singh collected Singla's ATM cards and chequebooks and even withdrew Rs 11,000 using one of the cards before leaving to Delhi via Mumbai.

He hails from Haryana and has worked as a software engineer with MNCs but is currently unemployed, he said. He said the motive of the murder was yet to be ascertained.

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help. 

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions.  However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities.  I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour.   This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society.    Well done keralites.  Salute to all of you.
