Mangaluru, Jan 14: The police have arrested a so called Hindutva activist who had misused a photo of Student Federation of India (SFI) leader Madhuri Bolar and issued threats on social media.

The arrested has been identified as Srihari alias Harish Devadiga alias Kakanje Devadiga, hailing from Kakanje in Belthangdi taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

The police managed to catch him near Pumpwell in Mangaluru on Saturday. Police have also seized the mobile through which he used to send the threat messages and produced him in court. The accused has been remanded to judicial custody.

Police said that there are a few more suspects who are yet to be arrested in connection with the case.

Madhuri, who also belongs to Hindu community, had lodged a police complaint on January 9 against the miscreants for circulating her old group photo on social media and warning her against mingling with Muslim boys.

The photo was taken by one of Madhuri’s friends a year ago when a group of SFI cadres were traveling in a bus to attend a camp. It was uploaded on Facebook. The trouble mongers who observed the photo recently, noticed a Muslim boy -Hamza Kinya- posing with others. Then they began to circulate it on social media with a warning to him against roaming with Hindu girls.

Shocked to see her photo doing rounds on social media Madhuri complained to the police. In her complaint, she said that Hamza was required to travel in the same bus as he was the district Joint Secretary of SFI.

Bengaluru, Jan 3: The Karnataka high court on Thursday issued notices to the Railway Board and the South Western Railways on a petition seeking review of superfast surcharge being levied on passengers in Malgudi Express train.

Petitioner and Mysurubased advocate Mohammed Dastagir, in a public interest litigation claimed that as per the circular issued by the Railway Board on December 10, 2006, Malgudi Express — which runs from Mysuru to Yelehanka — is not designated as a superfast train and despite the same, the authorities are illegally collecting additional charges known as supplementary charges ranging from Rs 15 to Rs 75 from passengers.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka posted the petition to second week of February.

Mangaluru, Aug 8: As visuals of the Air India Express flight crash at Kozhikode international airport emerge, one cannot help but be reminded of an eerily similar and unfortunate accident that occurred a decade ago. The August 7, 2020 tragedy brought back memories of the 2010 crash.

It was on May 22, 2010 that an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai to Mangaluru over shot the runway while landing at Bajpe airport and fell into a cliff. Of the 160 passengers and 6 crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only 8 survived.

Even back then, the plane had split into two. The crash has been termed as one of India's worst aviation disasters.

The final conversations between Air traffic control (ATC) and the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication of any distress.

Like the Mangaluru accident, Karipur crash too happened when the flight was attempting to land.

The captain of the aircraft which crashed at Mangaluru, Z Glucia, was an experienced pilot with 10,000 hours of flying experience and had 19 landings at the Mangalore airport. Co-pilot S S Ahluwalia, with 3,000 hours of flying experience had as many as 66 landings at this airport. Both the pilot and co-pilot were among the victims.

An investigation into the accident later found that the cause of the accident was the captain’s failure to discontinue an ‘unstabilised approach’ and his persistence to continue with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to ‘go-around’.
