Mangaluru, Sept 28: A local court here has sentenced a man from Puttur taluk to rigorous life imprisonment after finding him guilty of murdering his own father nearly two years ago.

The convict is Aboobakker aka Monu, a resident of Hirebandadi near Uppinangady in Puttur of Dakshina Kannada district.

The verdict was pronounced on Thursday by the fifth additional district and sessions court judge, who also imposed a penalty of Rs 10,000. The convict will have to serve six months of imprisonment in case he fails to pay the penalty.

The incident took place on January 14, 2017. Monu and his father Adam duo had a dispute related to property. Adam had a shop at Uppinangady. Adam questioned his son when the latter was found in the shop.

This led to an argument between the two. After hurling abuses, Aboobakker hit his father on his head using an iron rod. Adam was immediately taken to a hospital in Puttur and later shifted to a hospital in Mangaluru. However, he succumbed to injuries on January 16, 2017.

Following this, Uppinangady rural police booked Monu under Sections 504, 506, and 302 of IPC. Public prosecutor Uday Kumar argued on behalf of the government.

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Days after 10 MLAs were inducted in the Cabinet, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is likely to expand his Cabinet again as some BJP MLAs are unhappy, said BJP sources.

Several leaders including Umesh Katti, CP Yogeshwar, Raju Gowda and MP Renukacharya are miffed over the recent cabinet expansion, claim sources.

On February 6, ST Somashekar, Ramesh Laxmanrao Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, BA (Byrathi) Basavaraj, Arabail Hebbar Shivaram, Hasavanagowda C Patil, K Gopalaiah, Narayana Gowda and Shrimant Balasaheb Patil took oath as ministers.

It should be noted that many MLAs had won the by-polls on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in December last year after switching loyalties from the Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS) and Congress.

In the December 5 by-polls held in 15 Assembly constituencies, the BJP had won 12, while Congress managed to bag only two. One seat was won by an Independent candidate while the JDS drew a blank.
