bhatkalBhatkal, August 24: In a gut-wrenching tragedy a young Imaam and religious teacher of a Masjid drowned off the Jaali beach in Bhatkal on Thursday evening.

The deceased has been identified as Maulana Mohammed Ismail Ruknuddin (35), a resident of Bhatkal Magdoom Colony, who was serving as a teacher in Magdoom Colony Madrasa Dar-ut-Taleem-wa-Tarbiya from past four years. Affectionately called as 'Ismail Janab', he was also the part time Imaam of Maqdoom Colony Jamia Masjid. He was also an expert swimmer and a sports man. He is survived by his wife, a daughter and a large number of relatives, friends and students.

The incident occurred at around 5:30 pm when a group of around 15 people had been to beach for picnic. Three among them stepped into the sea for a swim.

As all the three were good swimmers, they went quite farther away into the sea. “We had gone to such a distance in the sea that our feet were unable touch the ground. Whe we decided to turn back we had to face strong waves. When we reached near the shore after lot of struggle, Ismail Janab lost balance and recited the Shahadah 'La ilaha Illalla'. Within a few seconds he was disappeared”, said one among the survivors.

As soon as the news began to spread, hundreds of people gathered on the beach. Though the companions, local swimmers and fishermen immediately launched a search operation for Ismail, they could not trace him till night. It took more than two hours for coastal security police to reach the spot.

Bhatkal DYSP M Naryan and CPI Shiv Prakash along with a team pf police arrived at the spot at around 7:30 pm.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.

Mangaluru, Feb 2: A local court on Saturday remanded Aditya Rao,the suspect in the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) bomb case, to two weeks judicial custody.

Rao was produced before the Sixth Judicial First Class Magistrate Court after the 10-day police custody expired.

Rao has been in police custody since January 22 after he surrendered before the police in Bengaluru on January 21 and was later brought here.

He had allegedly planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the airport on January 20 triggering panic and later made a hoax call to the airport terminal that a bomb had been planted in an IndiGo flight.

During the last ten days, police took the accused to several places in the city and Udupi where he had frequented in the recent past.

He was also taken to the room where he stayed while he was working at a hotel in the city.
