In a shocking revelation, former chief minister and Janata Dal (Secular) state president H D Kumaraswamy has said that a local leader of Bharatiya Janta Party in Mangaluru had involved in the coldblooded murder of Deepak Rao. 

32-year-old Deepak Rao was hacked to death by a gang of four miscreants on January 3 at Katipalla in Mangaluru. The police have managed to catch four persons who had directly involved in the killing. Political pundits believe that the murder has politically benefitted the saffron party ahead of next assembly polls. 

According to local Congress MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava, one among the accused, Pinki Navaz, is an activist of BJP minority morcha and he had campaigned for BJP’s Krishna J Palemar in last assembly polls. However, Palemar has disowned Pinki Navaz and rubbished Mr Bava’s charge.

On Monday, addressing media persons in Mysuru, Kumaraswamy said that though the police have arrested four persons in connection with the murder of Deepak Rao they have not revealed who gave them supari to kill him.

“I suspect the hand of a BJP corporator from Mangaluru in this murder. I have received some information in this regard. I do not know what the state government is doing and whom it is trying to protect,” Mr Kumaraswamy said. 

Meanwhile, the BJP has denied the charges of JD(S) leader. Addressing media persons on Monday, Mangaluru North block BJP president Bharat Raj Shetty expressed suspicion that Mr Bava might have persuaded Mr Kumaraswamy to issue such a statement. 

“The police should interrogate Mr Kumaraswamy and Mr Bava. They are trying to mislead the people through false statements,” he said.

New Delhi, Feb 17: Four death row convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape and murder will be hanged on March 3 at 6 am a Delhi court said on Monday.

The Patiala House Court on Monday issued fresh death warrants against four convicts while hearing a petition by the state and Nirbhaya's parents.

Earlier, Delhi High Court on February 5 granted a week's time to the four convicts to avail of all legal remedies available to them and said that the convicts cannot be hanged separately since they were convicted for the same crime.

A Delhi Court had earlier issued a death warrant against the four convicts -- Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur, Pawan Gupta, and Mukesh Singh -- on January 7 and they were scheduled to be executed on January 22 at Tihar Jail. Later, the execution was suspended indefinitely by a Delhi court.

Tumakuru, Jun 30: As many as 43 sheep were quarantined after a shepherd tested positive for novel coronavirus at Godekere Gollarahatti in Tumakuru district. 

J C Madhuswamy, district in-charge minister, has instructed the district administration and the Animal Husbandry department to subject the sheep to Covid-19 tests.

The move followed after five sheep found dead in mysterious circumstances at the village. All 43 sheep of the infected person have been isolated from the herd and kept at a place in Jakkanahalli.

"There is no evidence that the sheep can contract Covid-19 and transmit the virus to the people. But since the virus has many strains and keep changing its genetic make-up, draw throat swab samples of the sheep and send the same to Covid-19 lab. Till the report comes, keep the livestock in isolation," Madhuswamy told the officials.
