Mangaluru, Sept 25: The funeral prayers of Mohammad Sameer who was allegedly murdered a month after returning from Saudi Arabia was held today at Ganjimutt village on the outskirts of Mangalur city. Hundreds of people including his relatives, friends and villagers took part in the funeral.

The tragic end

35-year-old Sameer, son of Ahmed Saheb, a resident of J M Road near Ganjimutt, Edapadavu, had returned home from Saudi Arabia on August 17 this year, almost two months after his wife Firdous gave birth to their first child.

Sameer, who worked in Saudi Arabia for almost a decade wanted to spend rest of his life in India. On September 13 he went to Bengaluru along with his wife and three-month-old child for a job interview. The couple stayed there together for a couple of days. He had spoken to his mother over the phone on September 15 and everything seemed fine till then.

However, on September 18, Firdous and her daughter returned to her parent’s house at Kaup in Udupi district. She claimed that Sameer deserted her and her child and went with another woman.

On September 20, Sameer’s father lodged a missing complaint with jurisdictional Bajpe police station. The cops then had expressed suspicion about the version of Firdous.

The missing case took a new turn when Sameer’s dead body was found under the limits of Devadanapatti police station in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district on September 23.

Wife is prime suspect

It is suspected that Sameer's wife Firdous has an extra marital affair with a person named Asif from Karkala, who was working as a driver in Bengaluru. The two are absconding since the recovery of Sameer’s body.

According to Bajpe police inspector Parashivamurthy, the enquiry into the murder case will be conducted by the Devadanapatti police station and that the local police will extend complete support.

The post-mortem of Sameer's body was conducted in Tamil Nadu. The body was transported to his hometown through an ambulance.

Inn Lillahi Wa Inn Elahi Rajiyoon,

Since the Culprits belong to one community - must be punished as per Isalamic Sharia in public. So no one dare to commit such crime again.

Then only all can lead a peace full life.

Bengaluru, May 11: As many as 343 Indians returned to Bengaluru from London by a special Air India flight on the fifth day of 'Vande Bharat Mission' on Monday. They arrived at the Kempegowda international airport at 4.40 am.

All passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except one 27-year-old woman who had had an incomplete abortion and had vomiting on arrival. She has been shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram.

Dr Prabhu Dev Gowda, an officer on duty for COVID-19 screening at Kempegowda International Airport, said, "A 27-year-old woman has had an incomplete abortion of her three-month-old foetus before taking the flight from London. She was vomiting on arrival. She was shifted to Aster CMI Hospital for emergency care.”

“Thereafter, she and her husband were shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram. They will be in isolation there. Since there is nobody to look after her, we have to let the husband accompany her to the hospital where they will be in quarantine."

The patient was famished and was provided a few idlis on arrival, he added.

After she recovers at the hospital, the couple will be shifted to a hotel. As per protocol, their throat swabs were taken for COVID-19 testing too. All passengers whether symptomatic or not are being tested for COVID-19.

Dr Manjula Devi, District Health Officer, Bengaluru Rural district said that all passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except this woman who is being treated as a non-COVID-19 emergency.

Ajith Rai, Devanahalli Tehsildar told DH, "All passengers have chosen to go to hotels over government hostels. We're yet to tabulate how many have chosen budget hotels, three-star and five-star hotels. Twenty of them are still here. The process is on."

Mangaluru, Jul 21: Private hospitals cannot send back COVID-19 patients for any reason, district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said on Monday.

The Minister was addressing a meeting at the Father Muller Medical College here on the arrangements made for COVID-19 patients.

Dakshina Kannada district is quite advanced in the medical field. Hence, the government will not tolerate COVID-19 patients wandering from one hospital to another for treatment. Refusing to admit COVID-19 patients in hospitals is unacceptable, he warned.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government. 

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited. 

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.
