Bengaluru, Feb 3: A 25-year-old Ugandan woman was allegedly stabbed to death at her house in Bengaluru in a scuffle over payment for sex in the early hours of Thursday.

Nakayaki Florence was a B.Com student, and a native of Kampala in Uganda. Ishaan (28), who reportedly knifed her to death, was nabbed from her house. The incident took place between 1.30 and 2 am at her second floor house in Thimmegowda Layout, near the Kothanur bus stand. Police said she was involved in the flesh trade, a charge members of her community believe diverts the case.

Ishaan, a native of Himachal Pradesh, told the police he was an M.Tech looking for a job in Bengaluru. He worked as a part-time tutor and was a paying guest in BTM?Layout, the police said. Ishaan met Nakayaki on Brigade Road, and struck a deal for Rs 5,000 to visit her house, a police source said, quoting Ishaan. She demanded Rs 10,000 as he had stayed longer than agreed, Ishaan purportedly told the police.

This resulted in a quarrel. Both were drunk, and Nakayaki grabbed a knife and charged at Ishaan, injuring his hand, according to the police. Ishaan then snatched it from her and stabbed her four or five times, killing her instantly. Hearing the commotion, the landlady rushed to the second floor and locked the door from outside, trapping Ishaan inside.

“We have already established that he (Ishaan) killed the victim, and prima facie, there is clear-cut circumstantial evidence,” said P S Harsha, Deputy Commissioner of Police, North-East Division. However, he did not divulge details, saying the investigation was in progress.

Since it was a murder involving a foreigner, a large number of policemen rushed to the area. People from several African countries had gathered at the spot and were seeking access to Ishaan. The police caned the crowd and whisked him away around 3 am. Soon a platoon of KSRP personnel arrived. The police have booked some Africans for assault, a policeman said.

An association of Africans took objection to the way the city police approached the case. “How can the police come out with conclusive statements that the victim was in the flesh trade and the cause of murder was money over unlawful activity? This is victimising the victim further,” said Bosco Kaweesi, legal adviser, All African Students in Bengaluru.

The fact of the case is that someone went to Nakayaki's house at night and murdered her, he said. “Let the police probe the case impartially,” Kaweesi urged. Three officials from the Ugandan High Commission, besides the Ugandan ambassador to India , will be coming to Bengaluru on Friday, said Bosco Kaweesi.

charan anna , india cannot do that bro .. because indians and indian companies including govt companies have billions of investments in african countries , now china and india competing in africa for natural reserves , infrastructure development , factories , health care etc .. indians mega parallel economies in africa from kenya to tanzania , mauritius to ghana and nigeria .. and also millions of indians working in africa in projects . so this type of decision of blocking will create negative impact . In ethipopia in congo ,indians do farming in mega scale . best solution is deporting the students on case o case basis .

Mangaluru, July 31: Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has unveiled a campaign both on digital media and outdoor billboards on bringing awareness on the right usage of masks, social distancing and hand washing in the fight against COVID19. The campaign has received very good response and attention on social media and with the citizens of Mangaluru.

While the numbers of Covid-19 infected people were increasing and a vaccine would take some more time it was observed that norms of social distancing and other precautionary practices were thrown to the wind. Many people in Dakshina Kannada were found using masks inappropriately. Wearing a mask in a scientific way by covering both the nose and mouth is imperative to control droplets that spread the virus. We need to rise above our inconvenience to fight the virus.

Considering this the KCCI found an immediate need to bring awareness and constant reminder to people on the right usage of masks, social distancing, washing hands and other dos and don’ts to stay ahead of the virus and beat the pandemic.

A digital campaign and an outdoor advertisement campaign were planned by the chamber to remind and encourage people to follow best practices when interacting with others. 

The theme of the Campaign was decided to be “Let’s Fight Back Together” Origin Designext a Creative Agency in Mangalore was roped in to do the creative for the campaign and a team from KCCI worked with the Agency to shape up the campaign with their inputs. In the meantime Indian Red Cross Society Dakshina Kannada and Rotary Mangaluru expressed their interest to support the Campaign. 

Mangaluru based outdoor agencies like Jyothi Advertisers, Kalkura Advertisers and Gee Dee Advertisers agreed to provide outdoor space gratis to this community service campaign. Presented both in English and Kannada, the campaign has been creating waves on social media and on the street, a sign that it is being very well received by the populace of Mangalore city. 

The creative of Half Covered or Half exposed where a model is shown with a mask that exposes the nose and KA-19 v/s COVID-19 (KA-19 being the Vehicle Registration Code for the District) have been particularly making a buzz in the community. All together 14 hoardings are currently on display with various Covid-19 awareness messages. Many business houses have shown interest to participate in this public awareness campaign.

The Chamber hopes this campaign would go a long way in the fight of the city against COVID-19 and play its role in putting the pandemic behind us. “Businesses and our economy has suffered enough, we need to work together to fight this virus, we need to rise above minor inconvenience and win this war,” says Isaac Vas the President to KCCI.

Davanagere, Jan 9: Residents of SVR colony of Channagiri Taluq here on Thursday built a temple in the memory of a male monkey, who died here 'unexpectedly'.

A group of monkeys entered the SVR colony around three months back. The monkeys have never disturbed anybody in the area and they used to play with children living in the colony.

Locals said that the monkeys are very obedient to them.

Unfortunately, one of the monkeys died suddenly on Wednesday, causing distress among people who were very fond of him.

Showing their love for the deceased monkey, locals performed his final rite according to Hindu tradition.

Later, the residents approached the president of the village Panchayat to allot funds to build a temple in the monkey's memory.

The construction of the temple has already begun in the area at the same place where the monkey's funeral was conducted.
