Mangaluru, Aug 13: The Social Democratic Party of India has accused Dakshina Kannada district police of harassing innocent Muslim youths and their family members in the name of investigation into the unsolved murder case of RSS activist Sharath Madivala.

28-year-old Madivala was stabbed by unidentified miscreants in BC Road on July 4. He breathed his last at a hospital in Mangaluru on July 7. Police have failed to arrest the accused in the case so far.

Addressing a press meet here on Saturday, A M Athavullah, DK district general secretary, claimed that the district police so far detained nearly 50 youths from minority community illegally and harassing them and their families under the pretext of probe.

“SDPI will not oppose police questioning anyone in connection with the incident or formally charging them if their involvement is made out. But 'illegal detention' is not acceptable,” he said.

Citing one such example, he said family members of Sajipamunnur residents - Shafi, Muhammad Sahad and Abdul Nasir, picked up by police at Kadabahalli in Mandya on August 9 are still not sure where they are.

Police have not given any information about either their detention or their arrest to their family members, he said adding the family are in a state of quandary.  

Law mandates that police inform next of kin of any one detained in connection with a case and produce them before the magistrate within 24-hours, he said adding district police authorities are not following any of these laid down procedures in this particular investigation causing angst to the families.

The Bantwal sub-divisional police are passing the buck in this case adding to the agony of the families, he said adding that SDPI has list of at least 50 such youths who have been detained in connection with the murder investigation.

Police have subjected some of the youth to physical and mental torture, he alleged adding that if police do not follow due process in this and any other case, the party will be forced to undertake democratic means of protest against such illegalities.

Mangaluru, Mar 7: After coronavirus cases were confirmed in different parts of the country, there has been a sudden jump in demand for mask and safety gears like gloves and sanitizers in Mangaluru and Udupi.

With the increase in demand, medical shop owners said that they were finding it difficult to meet the demand.

In fact, there is a demand for bulk supply of masks and gloves. There was demand for masks when Covid-19 was confirmed in China two months ago. Bulk quantities of masks were purchased in order to supply them to Indian employees working in China. A few private firms had purchased masks from Mangaluru in the month of December.

New Delhi, Mar 15: The new rules for debit and credit cards to increase security and reduce frauds kick in from Monday. In January, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had issued new rules to improve user convenience and increase the security of card transactions. These rules will help in curbing the misuse of debit and credit cards.

RBI has directed banks to allow only domestic card transactions at ATMs and PoS terminals in India at the time of issuance/reissuance of card. For international transactions, online transactions, card-not-present transactions and contactless transactions, customers will have to separately set up services on their card.

These rules will be applicable for new cards from March 16. Those with old cards can decide whether to disable any of these features.

As per the existing rules, these services used to come automatically with the card, but now it will start at the request of the customer.

Debit or credit card customers who have not yet done any online transaction, contactless transaction or international transaction with the card, then these services on the card will automatically stop from March 16.

The Reserve Bank has asked all banks to provide mobile banking, net banking option to enable limit and enable and disable service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If the customer makes any change in the status of the card, the bank will alert the customer through SMS/email and send the information.

Issuers shall provide to all cardholders facility to switch on/off and set/modify transaction limits (within the overall card limit, if any, set by the issuer) for all types of transactions -- domestic and international, at PoS/ATMs/online transactions/contactless transactions, etc.,

The provisions, however, are not mandatory for prepaid gift cards and those used at mass transit systems.

The latest instructions come in the wake of rising instances of cyber frauds and the huge increase in the use of cards.
