coupleBangalore, Mar 12: A senior scientist working with a petro-chemical major in the City was arrested on Monday for killing his wife.

A schoolteacher at Elements Montessori on Aralur Road, Mahalakshmi, 37, a native of Mumbai, died after Dharmesh, 38, slapped her during an argument over a trivial matter,  in their flat at Mantri Flora Apartments, in Iblur Junction, HSR Layout, on Sunday night.

Mahalakshmi married Dharmesh, a native of Jharsuguda in Orissa, in 2005, in Mumbai, while he was pursuing his doctoral studies. The couple, with a four-year-old boy Vedant, had worked in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and settled in Bangalore two years ago when Dharmesh was posted as a senior scientist at Shell Global Solutions.

Police said on Sunday, when the couple were watching TV at about 10 pm, Dharmesh got a call from his elder sister that she would be visiting them on Monday, to which Mahalakshmi objected, leading to an argument.

A furious Dharmesh slapped Mahalakshmi who collapsed on the sofa. A panic-stricken Dharmesh tried to revive her, including mouth-to-mouth respiration. When she did not respond, he rushed her to a private hospital and from there to St John's Hospital, where she was declared brought dead.

Being informed by St John's Hospital authorities, HSR Layout Police arrested Dharmesh and registered a murder case under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code.

Police said Mahalakshmi's parents have in their statement said that there were no issues between the couple and supported Dharmesh, their son-in-law, terming the incident an accident. They also stated there was no dowry harassment.

A friend of Dharmesh, who described him as calm, and surprised that he so flared up to slap his wife, said Dharmesh was working as an exploratory researcher.

Murder case solved

The City police have cracked a recent murder case and arrested one person. Auto driver Anwar Pasha, 44, was found bludgeoned to death in a shed in A Narayanapura on February 18. Mahadevapura Police had registered a murder case and a special team was formed to investigate.

Mahadevapura Police recently arrested Subramani alias Mani, 21, from Chikkadasapura. Subramani hails from Chikkur village, Mulbagal.

Investigations revealed that Anwar Pasha had borrowed Rs 5,500 from Subramani and had not repayed the debt. The two met at Manjunatha Bar next to the shed, where they consumed liquor.

Following an argument over repayment of debt, Subramani bludgeoned Anwar to death with a boulder.

Bengaluru, Apr 7: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Siddaramaiah on Monday urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to announce a special package to help farmers, agriculture labourers and also working class in various sectors who are affected by the lockdown.

Mr Siddaramaiah put forth his demands during a telephonic conversation and the Chief Minister positively responding to it informed that he will formulate a programme keeping in mind the suggestions made by the Opposition, a statement from the LoP's office said.

It said, the Chief Minister also spoke to Mr Siddaramaiah regarding the government's decision to stop supply of free food for poor and needy through Indira Canteens.

Mr Siddaramaiah on Saturday had written to Yediyurappa urging him to utilise Indira Canteens efficiently and provide food for poor and needy until the coronavirus crisis and lockdown is over.

The former Chief Minister's letter had come a day after the state government had decided not to provide free food at Indira Canteens as concerns were raised about the quality and misuse that was happening.

It had, however, decided to continue to provide subsidised food- breakfast at Rs 5 and lunch and dinner at Rs 10, as usual.

Mr Yediyurappa during the phone conversation on Monday appraised Siddaramaiah that the decision to supply food by fixing a price was taken to stop misuse that was happening.

Mr Siddaramaiah, however, insisted the government should provide food free of cost to the poor and needy, by taking care that misuse doesn't happen.

The senior Congress leader asked the Chief Minister to take action against errant officials who allowed misuse to happen, the statement said, adding that Yediyurappa has promised to look into it.

Initially, the government last month had decided that the state subsidised Indira Canteens would provide food packets free of cost to the poor and needy in the wake of the lockdown.

Mangaluru, Aug 8: As visuals of the Air India Express flight crash at Kozhikode international airport emerge, one cannot help but be reminded of an eerily similar and unfortunate accident that occurred a decade ago. The August 7, 2020 tragedy brought back memories of the 2010 crash.

It was on May 22, 2010 that an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai to Mangaluru over shot the runway while landing at Bajpe airport and fell into a cliff. Of the 160 passengers and 6 crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only 8 survived.

Even back then, the plane had split into two. The crash has been termed as one of India's worst aviation disasters.

The final conversations between Air traffic control (ATC) and the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication of any distress.

Like the Mangaluru accident, Karipur crash too happened when the flight was attempting to land.

The captain of the aircraft which crashed at Mangaluru, Z Glucia, was an experienced pilot with 10,000 hours of flying experience and had 19 landings at the Mangalore airport. Co-pilot S S Ahluwalia, with 3,000 hours of flying experience had as many as 66 landings at this airport. Both the pilot and co-pilot were among the victims.

An investigation into the accident later found that the cause of the accident was the captain’s failure to discontinue an ‘unstabilised approach’ and his persistence to continue with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to ‘go-around’.
