Mangaluru: Man held with 26 passports is travel agent; all documents genuine

August 18, 2016

Mangaluru, Aug 18: A Dubai-bound NRI, who was detained at Mangaluru International Airport for carrying 26 passports belonging to different persons, was in fact a travel agent.

abdulla1 Police officers, who subjected Abdulla (43), a native of Taliparamba in Kannur district of Kerala, to a prolonged interrogation, told Coastaldigest.com that all the 26 passports recovered from him were genuine.

He was detained after passports belonging to different persons were found in his baggage during immigration check, before the agent was to take a Jet Airways flight to Dubai at 11.30 p.m. on Tuesday. Later he was handed over to Bajpe police.

The police said that another travel agent, Sadakatullah from Dubai, sought help from Abdullah in arranging Haj travel for his 26 customers— 24 were Indians and US citizens.

Sadakatullah collected passports of his customers and handed them over to Abdullah before Abdullah left for Kerala via Kozhikode airport on August 5.

Incidentally, Abdullah managed to clear the security check at Kozhikode airport on that day. He approached a travel agency in Kanhangad, Kerala, to arrange for Haj pilgrimage for the 26 passport holders.
As the agency expressed helplessness in arranging for the services, Abdullah decided to return to Dubai with the passports from the Mangaluru Airport on Tuesday. However he was caught.

Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar said that even though Abdulla had no intention to cheat anyone, being in possession of someone else's passport will be considered as an illegal act. He also confirmed that there was no fake passport with him.

The police have booked him under Section 12 (1) (d) of the Passport Act and continued investigation to find out whether there was any travel fraud in this case.

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: India has deeply appreciated the Senegal government's decision to extradite fugitive gangster Ravi Poojary to India, official sources said on Sunday.

Facilitation of transit provided by the Government of France has also been acknowledged, they said.

Ravi Prakash Poojary, accused of committing a number of serious offences including murder and extortion in multiple jurisdictions, was extradited from Senegal on Saturday.

The probe agencies have persistently pursued the case for his extradition with the authorities in Senegal. India had made a request with Senegal for his extradition in early 2019, sources said.

Poojary was associated with gangster Chhota Rajan, but he also worked for fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Karnataka farmers planning protest against PM Modi arrested by cops

News Network

January 2,2020

Shivamogga, Jan 2: A large number of farmers who wanted to stage a demonstration against Prime Minister Narendra Modi protesting the non-implementation of the 'Swaminathan Report' were detained at Bengaluru, Tumakuru and Shivamogga, police said on Thursday.

According to police, the detentions have taken place in certain parts of Tumakuru, near Bengaluru as well as in Shivamogga.

As part of his two-day visit to Karnataka, Modi is scheduled to visit Tumakuru on Thursday to pay his obeisance to the departed seer of Siddaganga Math Shivakumara Swamiji and meet the present pontiff Siddalinga Mahaswamiji.

Later, he would address a mega public meeting where he will give away the Krishi Karman awards.

In the evening he will reach Bengaluru to visit the DRDO facility to dedicate five DRDO Young Scientists Laboratories to the nation.

Pressing implementation of the Swaminathan Report, which recommends a holistic national policy, the farmers under the leadership of Kodihalli Chandrashekar had planned to stage a demonstration at Tumakuru.

Before they could leave for Tumakuru, the police detained them.

According to Chandrashekar, the farmers have been arrested at Nelamangala, Herohalli near Magadi, Kunigal and Koratagere in Tumakuru district and Shivamogga.

Speaking to PTI, Chandrashekar said the BJP has betrayed farmers by not implementing the Swaminathan report.

"The BJP could implement all the agenda such as abrogation of Article 370, paving way for Ram Temple in Ayodhya and various other poll promises but it ignored its promise of implementing the Swaminathan report," the farmer leader said.

Chandrashekar also said he has been detained at a ground on Magadi Road along with two others while farmers who wanted to take part in the protest have been detained in different parts of the state.

coastaldigest.com news network

June 21,2020

Mangaluru, June 21: The first ever repatriation flight from Saudi Arabia’s Dammam Karnataka’s Mangaluru under Vande Bharat Mission (VBM) today brought home around 165 stranded passengers.

The IndiGo flight took off from Dammam International Airport at 11 a.m. (Saudi time) and landed at Mangaluru International Airport at 6:30 p.m.

The stranded passengers included pregnant women, senior citizens and those who are in need of emergency medical treatment are on board.

The passengers were screened at the Airport before being despatched for institutional quarantine in special buses.

Even though a few charter flights arranged by a couple of NRI entrepreneurs have already repatriated hundreds of stranded people from Dammam to Mangaluru, the government of India had not operated any repatriation flight under VBM on this sector so far.

Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum (SKHF), an NGO which came into existence to help the stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia during covid-19 lockdown had been successful in persuading the government of India operate a flight on Dammam-Mangaluru sector under VBM.

SKHF has also set up an online portal for those who were in need of emergency repatriation. In today’s flight around 100 passengers have obtained seats through SKHF.
