Kasaragod, Mar 7: The police have arrested three persons, including a minor, on the charge of supplying ganja to a Class 10 student of a school here who was found dead four days after he had been reported missing from his house on March 1.

The highly decomposed body of Muhammad Jasir (15) was found in a drainage along the railway tracks at Kalanad, near Uduma, on Monday.

A team led by Bekal Circle Inspector V.K. Vishwambharan arrested Subeesh and Sameer, both aged 20, on the charge of possessing 250 gm of ganja.

They were arrested under the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act and remanded in judicial custody by the Hosdurg Judicial First Class Magistrate court at Kanhangad.

The third accused, a 17-year-old boy, was sent to a Juvenile Home near Paravanadukkam. The police, assisted by the forensic surgeon at the Pariyaram Medical College Hospital, confirmed that the boy was killed after he was knocked down by an express train on Thursday.

There were no marks of inflicted wounds on the boy’s body.

The police have taken urine samples from the boy’s body to ascertain whether he was under the influence of ganja at the time of death.

The boy was a student of Chattamchal Higher Secondary School. He had left home under the pretext of going to buy new clothes to wear for a send-off ceremony at the school.

A group of local people took out a march to the Bekal police station alleging that the boy was murdered by a vested group.

The agitators said that there were no signs on the body that indicated that the boy was hit by a train while walking along the tracks. A deliberate bid to eliminate him resulted in his murder, said his father who took part in the march.

Irked by Hegde remarks against Gandhi, BJP asks him to take 'remedial' measures

News Network

February 3,2020

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.
