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.

Ernakulam, May 25: Miscreants belonging to self-proclaimed Hindutva outfits have demolished a church set erected for the shoot of a Malayalam film at Kalady in Kerala’s Ernakulam district.

The set was erected to shoot the climax scene of the super hero film Minnal Murali, directed by Basil Joseph and starring Tovino Thomas and newcomer actor Femina.

The incident took place on Sunday. Members of the Antharashtra Hindu Parishad claimed that with the help of their sister outfit Antarashtra Bajrang Dal, they demolished the church set, erected on an island on the Periyar river in Kalady.

Hari Palode, the General Secretary of AHP, an organisation founded by Praveen Togadia, boasted on Facebook that they were not used to pleading to anyone, and decided to demolish the church set that was constructed near the Adi Sankaracharya mutt. 

“When they built such a structure in front of the Mahadeva shrine in Kalady, we said no. We had also submitted several complaints. We do not have the habit of pleading. We decided to demolish it. Our self respect must be protected at all cost,” AHP’s General Secretary Hari Palode wrote on his Facebook post along with pictures of members demolishing the set. 

The post also credited members of the Anrarashtra Bajrang Dal and its Ernakulam Division President Malayatoor Ratheesh for participating in the ‘service work’ of razing the church set. 

Mini Biju, member of Kalady Town panchayat confirmed that the film unit had indeed secured permission from the department before going ahead with the construction of the set.

“They had submitted a letter seeking permission to raise a temporary set. This was back in February before construction began. The panchayat committee had approved this request,” Mini said.
