Kasaragod, Mar 16: In connection with the case of disappearance of over a dozen people from Kasaragod (who are suspected to have joined terror groups abroad), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday filed supplementary charge sheet against Nashidul Hamzafar who is accused of hatching a conspiracy along with others with the intention of joining and furthering the objective of proscribed terrorist organization.

NIA filed the supplementary charge sheet before the Special NIA court in Ernakulam, Kerala, against the 26-year-old accused who is a native of Kalpetta, Wayanad district, Kerala under relevant sections of IPC and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The case is related to a criminal conspiracy hatched since 2015. Following the conspiracy, 14 suspects from Kasaragod district left India or their workplaces in the Middle East, Asia between mid-May and early-July in 2016, before travelling to Afghanistan and Syria where they allegedly joined the ISIS/Daesh, according to NIA.

On September 18, 2018, NIA arrested Hamzafar after he was deported to Delhi from Kabul, Afghanistan, where he was arrested by Afghan security agencies in October 2017 for illegally entering the country and attempting to physically join his co-conspirators in ISIS/ Daesh. Hamzafar had left India on October 3, 2017, and travelled to Muscat in Oman before travelling to Iran and further reaching Kabul in Afghanistan.

Hamzafar had allegedly maintained contact with the other absconding accused persons like the prime conspirator Abdul Rashid Abdulla and Ashfak Majeed who were known to him through his college friends.

Bengaluru, Jun 23: In an attempt to avoid exploitation of patients affected with coronavirus, the Karnataka government on Tuesday announced fixing charges that could be collected from patients by the private hospitals for treatment in the State.

There are now two sets of rates for patients--those who are referred by public health facilities and those who approach private hospitals directly.

According to the notification issued by State Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar on Tuesday, 50 per cent of the total beds in private hospitals having facilities to treat Covid-19 patients shall be reserved for the treatment of patients referred by public health authorities.

This will include the high-dependency unit and ICU (intensive care unit) beds both with and without ventilators. The hospitals may utilise the remaining Covid beds for admitting Covid-19 patients privately.
