Rowdy has taken supari to eliminate me, claims actor Arjun Dev

Bengaluru, Mar 25: Kannada film actor and Congress party worker Arjun Dev has filed a complaint with the Byatarayanapura police against a rowdy, whom he claims has taken a contract to kill him. He has sought protection from the police.

The police, who initially took up a non-cognisable report (NCR) case, have now registered an FIR following a court order.

The 35-year-old actor claimed that Kashif, a history-sheeter from Islampur, had taken supari (killing contract) to eliminate him. Dev, who lives in Deepanjali Nagar off Mysuru Road, approached the jurisdictional Byatrayanapura police on March 19 and complained about the "death threat". He sought police protection, saying Kashif had even done a recce of his house. The actor said he learnt about the "murder plot" from a well-wisher on March 16.

When the police took up only an NCR case and sent him away, the actor filed a private complaint at a court, which then directed the officers to register a case of criminal intimidation and criminal conspiracy under the relevant IPC sections, and investigate it. The police obeyed the court orders.

A police source, however, said the actor's accusations were the fallout of a property dispute between him and another party. The property is in Ramanagaram.

Ravi D Channannavar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West), said: "We have issued a notice to the complainant to record his statement and I have instructed the ACP to conduct a thorough impartial investigation." Dev acted in a lead role in the Kannada film Yuga Purusha. He is also a local Congress functionary.

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.
