Ramanagaram, Jan 24: A tense atmosphere prevailed in a local court in Karnataka’s Ramanagaram on Wednesday when a rape and murder convict turned violent after getting death sentence.

Salim (35), the rape convict, who was given a death sentence by the district and sessions court judge, picked up some bricks in a fit of rage while walking out of the court premises and hurled them at media people and lawyers. He then grabbed a rifle from a policeman's hand.

The police then wrested the firearm back from him and took him away in an autorickshaw.

Rape and murder

Salim was convicted and sentenced to death, for raping and murdering a nine-year-old girl. The sentence was awarded by the third district and sessions court here.

It was good if police would have shot him when he went aggressive. This type of people should not have any place on earth. Now he will apply in higher courts and buy more time.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
