Udupi/Bengaluru, Jan 12: Karnataka home minister M B Patil today said despite maximum efforts made by the state government besides the Indian Navy and Coast Guard launching separate search operations, there was no clue about the missing seven fishermen who took a voyage for deep sea fishing from Malpe fishing harbour in Dakshina Kannada on December 13.

The last contact was made by the fishermen on December 15 and ever-since the GPS enabled boat went out of the radar and various agencies have been making efforts to locate the missing fisher-folk.

Mr Patil said that the investigation into the missing of seven fishermen, was still going on and so far no clue was found on their survival in the deep seas or if they had safely reached other shores.

The family members missing fishermen from Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts are living between hope and despair, while the police struggle to unravel the mystery of how the boat from Malpe disappeared off Goa coast.

Two days ago, two teams of fishermen from Udupi, along with the district police, left to Sindhudurg in Maharashtra to search for the missing fishermen.

Bengaluru, Jun 22: The Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Bengaluru Police has obtained the custody of an associate of gangster Ravi Pujari and is questioning him about his role in several cases against the gangster, the police said on Monday.

According to the police, Khan is convicted in the case related to the murder of a builder named Subba Rao in the year 2017. The accused has been identified as Yousuf Bacha Khan.

"Continuing the investigation of Ravi Poojary, CCB had obtained custody of Yousuf Bacha Khan, who is associate of Pujari. Khan was convicted in the Subba Rao murder case. He is being questioned about his role in other cases," Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sandeep Patil said.

The CCB had recently filed two charge sheets against gangster Ravi Pujari in Shabnam developers double murder case and an extortion case.

Pujari, who was wanted in several cases including ones related to heinous crimes like murder and extortion, was extradited to Bengaluru earlier this year from Senegal.

The gangster, who parted ways with underworld don Chhota Rajan, had jumped bail after he was arrested in Senegal in 2019 and had escaped to South Africa, where he was involved in drug trafficking and extortion.

According to sources in the Indian intelligence, Ravi Pujari was hiding under the false identity of Anthony Fernandes, a Burkina Faso passport holder, in a remote village in South Africa.
