Mangaluru, Feb 20: In yet another crime of passion, a jilted lover stabbed a girl to death in broad daylight and then allegedly attempted to kill self before being caught at Sullia in Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday. 

The victim has been identified as Akshata, a second year BSc student of NMC College in Sullia, and a native of Kasaragod in Kerala. The accused, identified as Karthik, son of Chandrashekhar, hailing from Nellur Kemraje, is also pursuing BSc in the same college. 

The brutal attack took place at around 4 p.m. on the road near Rotary School in Sullia town when the girl was returning from the college after finishing classes. The accused pulled the girl towards him and stabbed her seven times. Then he slit his hand using same knife in suicide bid. 

The girl breathed her last in a vehicle while being taken to a Mangaluru hospital after preliminary treatment at a local private hospital.

"We were walking on the road. The boy walked up and took something from his pocket and attacked the girl. Before we could do anything he had stabbed her several times," said an eyewitness.

The police managed to catch the accused within minutes after the incident and got him admitted to a hospital for treatment. Sources said that he’s out of danger. However, the police are yet to question him.

Though the exact reason for the attack is yet to be known, college sources said that the Akshata had turned down Kartik’s proposal several times in the past. He had reportedly started harassing her after she rejected his proposals. A case has been registered in Sullia town police station and investigations are on.

Humanity lost another precious life, may God Almighty bless both victim's & accused family to come out of this tragic loss and shock. Because of the division created by power hungry politicians and ungodly religious leaders, we are forced to view every incident through COMMUNAL angle, very disappointing. May God show mercy on us!!

I heard that BJP leaders are extremely disappointed because they lost an issue as the accused doesn’t belong to Muslim community.

Bengaluru, May 23: Karnataka reported 216 covid-19 positive cases in last 24 hours, marking the highest single day spike in the state ever since the first case was detected on 8 March. 187 of these 216 patients have recently returned from Maharashtra.

A 32-year old male resident of Bengaluru died on Saturday making it the 42nd fatality in the state.

The spike on Saturday takes the total number of covid-19 positive closer to the 2,000 mark and the number of active cases to 1,307 in the state, according to the daily health bulletin of the health department.

Yadgir in northern Karnataka recorded 72 cases on Saturday while Raichur recorded 40 cases. Cases in the sugarcane growing region of Mandya continued to rise as 28 people tested positive on Saturday that takes the total number of active cases to 211 as against Bengaluru that has 124.

Gadag registered 15 cases while Bengaluru recorded 4 cases.

Most of those who tested positive on Saturday had returned from other states, especially Maharashtra, one of the worst affected regions in the country.

The spike in cases comes even as the B.S.Yediyurappa-led state government is deliberating further easing of lockdown restrictions post 31 May. The state government has already resumed public bus and train services as well to facilitate inter-district movement of people that has added to fears of spreading the virus from cities to villages where healthcare infrastructure is poor and inadequate.

Karnataka will also see domestic flight arrivals from Monday.

In a statement on Saturday, Bengaluru International Airport said that it introduced ‘Parking-to-Boarding contactless’ journey.

“We have introduced innovative contactless procedures to minimise exposure at the Airport. These enhancements demonstrate our continued commitment to keep our passengers safe in this environment," said Hari Marar, managing director and chief executive of the airport said in a statement on Saturday.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.
