Mangaluru, Jul 26: Nearly a decade after a man was murdered by group of miscreants to continue extra-marital affair with his wife, a local court has convicted five persons and sentenced to them to life imprisonment.

afffarThe murder of Siddappa, 29, from Bagalkote, who married Kasturi and lived in a rented house in Kuloor in Mangaluru taluk, took place in December 2007. The incident came to light after two years when his dead body was recovered.

Principal district and sessions court on Saturday sentenced five persons accused of murdering a 29-year-old labourer and burying his body in a pit in December 2007.

Mohammed Anwar of Balloorgudde often visited Siddappa's house and developed a physical relationship with Kasturi. According to the chargesheet filed by the Mangaluru Rural Police Station, Kasturi had left her son at Anwar's house, which Siddappa did not approve of.

Anwar's frequent visit to their house and her relationship with him also led to frequent fights between Kasturi and Siddappa. It was then that Anwar and Kasturi decided to get rid of Siddappa.

The duo called Siddappa to a place near the railway track in Balloorgudde. Anwar, along with his friends Mohammed Naufal, 23, Mohammed Salim, 26, Abdul Bashir, 37 and Abdul Naushad, 32, strangled Siddappa and buried his body near the railway track.

Basappa, Siddappa's brother filed a missing complaint with the jurisdictional police station on August 22, 2009. The police questioned Kasturi, who revealed the murder plot and also showed the place where the body was buried.

Then police inspector B R Lingappa arrested all five accused. The pit in which Siddappa was buried was opened in the presence of the then AC Prabhulinga Kavalikatti. The skull and bones which were recovered were sent for DNA examination that revealed that remains were of Siddappa. Public prosecutor Pushparaj presented evidences and 23 witnesses including forensic experts Raghavendra Babu Y P, Suresh Kumar Shetty and Kavalikatti.

K S Bilagi, the principal district and session's court judge, sentenced Mohammed Anwar and his four friends to life imprisonment including three years of rigorous imprisonment and were directed to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 for destroying evidence. The court did not pass any order against Kasturi as she was reported missing after she obtained bail.

Life imprisonment is not enough for miscreants, they should be hanged in public.

Bengaluru, May 26: After Yogi Adityanath said that no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday termed the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's move as "unconstitutional" and "against the right to freedom of movement."

"Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's move to restrict hiring people of Uttar Pradesh is unconstitutional and goes against the right to freedom of movement. Mr Yogi, please note that UP is not the private property of your govt. The people of Uttar Pradesh don't need your government's permission to work anywhere in India," Shivakumar tweeted.

"Mr Yogi doesn't understand the basic rules of governance in a democracy. Such actions lack common sense and will only make the people of Uttar Pradesh suffer more. When it's convenient for BJP, it's One Nation, when it's not, it's different states and different people. Heights of hypocrisy," he added.

Adityanath had on Monday said that the state government will provide social security and insurance to labourers and no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission.

"If any state wants manpower, they cannot take our people from the state without our permission as there were reports of misbehaviour with them in other states. We are taking full responsibility for labourers' social security. We will provide every kind of security to them including insurance. Wherever they will go, we will always stand by them," Yogi said.

The Chief Minister said that skill mapping is being done in Uttar Pradesh and a commission will be set up for labourers to ensure employment for them.

On Sunday, Adityanath had ordered the formation of a 'Migration Commission' for the purpose of providing the workers, who have returned to the state during the lockdown phase, with employment suited to their skills.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
