Mangaluru, Nov 18: In what appears to be a case of family dispute, a mother of three in Mangaluru taluk has accused her own husband of abducting their two children after he took them to the United Arab Emirates weeks after she gave birth to third child.

The issue came to light after 27-year-old Rishana Nilofer, daughter of a businessman from Ullal on the outskirts of the city, approached Human Rights Protection Foundation (HRPF), whose president Ravindranath Shanbhag on Saturday held a press conference in Udupi and urged Union Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj to intervene.

Mr Shanbhag said that Nilofer approached HRPF on October 1 with a complaint that her husband, Mohammad Shaanib Imeathali, took two of her minor children — Sheraz Abdulla, 6, and Zuha Fathima, one year and five months — on September 18, 2018 with him on the pretext of buying them ice-cream.

The same night, he took them by flight from Mangaluru International Airport to Abu Dhabi, she alleged. Their third child Nuha Mariam, two-and-a-half-months old, is with her in Mangaluru.

After landing at Abu Dhabi, Mr. Imeathali intimated Ms Nilofer that the children were with him, she said. For the next two days, he kept her updated about the children through WhatsApp. After that, there was no communication, she said.

Mr. Imeathali, 35, is an engineer in a firm in Abu Dhabi. Ms. Nilofer married Mr. Imeathali eight years ago. It was an arranged marriage and 130 pawans of gold and a flat in Mangaluru was handed over to the Shanib’s family as dowry. The marriage was solemnized with the consent of both families in the presence of the seniors of the Jamaath. Since her marriage, she was ill-treated by her husband and his family because she was not well-qualified, Ms. Nilofer alleged.

HRPF, besides pursuing the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to get the children back, would also approach the High Court. A case had been registered at Pandeshwar police station, Mr Shanbhag said.

Dear Shanubhag.. no doubt u r a good activist. But plz don’t involve in family issues. Couples will fight and unite. But if you hold press meet like this it may end up in divorce. So plz stay away. How can u call it a kidnap if father takes kids to Gulf? Then you should call woman also kidnapper bcoz kids were with her so far.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.

Bengaluru, Jan 28: Brace for hefty traffic penalties as the state government is all set to reverse a notification on revised fines which came into effect last September following pushback from road users and opposition parties.

The Karnataka government will implement traffic penalties as stipulated in the amended Motor Vehicles Act, 2019, in a phased manner following a diktat from the Centre. The government did not specify the timeline for it.

“At a recent meeting of transport ministers from various states, the Union government explained why it wanted to implement these huge fines. We found it convincing and will implement it in its original form,” said transport minister Laxman Savadi on Monday.

Savadi said India’s image globally has taken a beating due to the high number of road deaths and the Centre wants to change it at any cost. However, he said the entire set of hefty fines would not be reintroduced all at once.

BJP govt revised rates in Sept

The BJP government last September had revised fines on compoundable offences and those which are fined on the spot by traffic cops by 50%- 80%, barring drunken driving and racing.

As per the revised rates, helmetless riding attracted a penalty of Rs 500 against Rs 1,000 notified by the Centre. Driving without a licence attracted a fine of Rs 1,000 for

two- and three-wheelers and Rs 2,000 for light motor vehicles as against the earlier Rs 5,000 for all types of vehicles.

The central government recently told states and Union Territories they should enforce fines as per the amended Act and they cannot be rolled back. The road transport and highways ministry said fines cannot be reduced below the minimum amount fixed by law, unless the President gives his assent.
