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.

Tirupati, Jul 5: The Karnataka government will soon build a massive pilgrim amenities complex and marriage hall at Tirumala, the hill abode of Lord Venkateswara, at an estimated cost of Rs 200 crore, a temple official said here on Saturday.

The state would soon submit a blueprint for the construction of the Rs 200 crore mega complexes to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) that governs the hill shrine, the official said.

Consequently, based on the designs, TTD would construct the complexes with the given fund and after completion, they would be handed over to the Karnataka government, he said.

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa would lay the foundation stone for the mammoth complexes on the hills some time next month, he said.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to take part in the programme, he added.

Dear Sir,   

 

 

Keep aside all these type of extra expenditure like spending for statues, monuments, pilgrim amnesties etc.

 

During this period of virus pandamic, please use all these amount for medicines, medical facilities, food and development of the state.  We are facing shortage of medical facilites and the people are dying on the road by not getting a bed in the hospital.  Please use these amounts for the same.  During this Pandemic not even hindu brothers also accept this offer.  Leave all vote politics and concentrate to develop the state.

Bengaluru, Jul 18: Vendors in Bengaluru are finding it hard to earn a livelihood as the state government has allowed the sale of products only for a few hours each day. The lockdown imposed by the Karnataka government on July 14 will continue till July 22.

Speaking to ANI, Vanajakshi, a local vendor said, "We took loans from banks and small financiers to run our business. But we are finding it tough to pay back as our livelihoods have been hit."
"Because of the lockdown, no one comes to buy and markets remain vacant. There was a time when the Gandhi Nagar market was filled with customers, but now it looks like a vacant playground," she added.

Mythri, an advocate, said, "Look at the conditions of vendors. It's precarious. They do not have any business at all. Even now they have been allowed to sell products till 12 noon, which is not sufficient. It's time for the government to step in and provide assistance. If the Central government can reduce corporate taxes, why can't it help them? At least it will help them pass off these difficult times. "

"They are earning through daily wages. The government imposed lockdown suddenly. Where will they go? The city market in Bengaluru is famous. At least 8,000 people come from slum areas. People here are poor. The lockdown was done suddenly and led to problems for these people," said Congress MLA Zamil Ahmed Khan.

Referring to a recent meeting with the chief minister BS Yediyurappa, he said, "During the meeting called by the CM, I suggested that food kits must be arranged for vendors. The CM said the government is providing rice and wheat but that's not enough."

Bengaluru, July 29: The Central Crime Branch arrested four international drug peddlers belonging to Kerala and recovered drugs worth Rs 1.25 crore from them, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday.

"We have started a war on drugs. Our agenda is to curb the drug mafia not only in Bengaluru, but in entire Karnataka. Many people are involved in the drug mafia. They are targeting students, other states, and international students who can spend and afford to become victims," said Bommai.

The recovered items include 2,000 kg LSD strips, 110 grams MDMA Cristol, 10 ecstasy tablets, 5 kg Ganja, five cell phones, weighing machine and pouches.

"When we raided a house in Soladevanahally police station area, we arrested Shahad Mohammed, Azmal, Ajin KG Verghese and Nitin Mohan. All are from Kerala and we will arrest their contacts as well. They are involved in the dark web mafia," Bommai said.

He said the peddlers were using post offices and couriers for their business.

"I'll speak to the central government, the home ministry and postal department, and other issues related to this mafia. Canada, Netherlands, and other nations are also involved in this mafia," said the state home minister.

"People from influential backgrounds are also involved in this mafia, but our objective is zero tolerance. We are using our intelligence. Drugs are coming from other states like AP, Goa, and other states," he said.
Bommai said he was personally addressing this case and appealed for support from parents, schools and colleges.

"I'm addressing this issue personally because it's important to curb the drug mafia. I need support from schools and college managements and parents. I'll also call college and hostel managements before colleges start. We will make managements responsible," he said.
