Kozhikode, Dec 1: A local court has sentenced two convicts to life imprisonment and imposed Rs 1 lakh fine in connection with the coldblooded murder of Nasiruddin Azeez, who was a Muslim Youth League (MYL) activist.

The convicts are Kappacherry Basheer and Kollayil Andru, who were first and second accused respectively in the case. According to police, both of them are activists of Social Democratic Party of India. Basheer had even contested as SDPI candidate in the last local body election.

22-year-old Nasiruddin Azeez was murdered in front of the Salafi Masjid at Puthalath in Velom grama panchayat in mid 2016. The assailants blocked Nasiruddin, who was riding pillion on a bike and stabbed him on his chest and back.

According to investigators, active resistance against SDPI and extremist propaganda by Nasiruddin led to his murder.

There were seven suspects in the case and all of them were SDPI workers and supporters, according to police. However, the Kozhikode Additional Sessions Court (I) acquitted five of them for lack of evidence and convicted only first two accused.

The victim’s father K P Aziz has expressed satisfaction over the verdict. The court examined 37 witnesses. The testimony of the victim’s cousin Abdul Rauf turned crucial during the trial.

C K Sreedharan, who was special prosecutor in the case, argued that the SDPI workers had killed the young MYL worker due to political animosity. “The verdict should open the eyes of the SDPI top leadership which claimed to protect the rights of minorities,” he said.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.

Bengaluru, Feb 7: Karnataka's Directorate of Health and Family Welfare Services on Thursday issued guidelines for testing, isolation, hospital admission and discharge in view of the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (nCoV) in Wuhan city of China, a virus that has infected nearly 20,000 globally and has killed more than 500 in China.

According to the guidelines, the sample of any passenger, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, with a history of travel to or residence in Wuhan city of China in the last 14 days, has to be collected and tested.

And the sample of any health personnel, who develops symptoms of the virus after being associated with the infected persons, has to be collected.

The circular further says that the clinical sample of any suspect/probable case of nCoV will be sent to the laboratory confirmation and the case will be kept in isolation. If tested positive, the treatment has to be provided as per the existing guidelines.

The virus originated from Wuhan, a Chinese city, in December and has since then spread to various parts around the world.

China has imposed quarantine and travel restrictions, affecting the movement of 56 million people in more than a dozen cities, amid fears that the transmission rate will accelerate.
