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.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
