Advocate Farooq remanded to judicial custody; undergoes treatment in Wenlock

July 8, 2011
Mangalore, July 8: City based advocate Umar Farooq who was in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department in connection for his alleged role in a murder conspiracy, has been remanded to Judicial Custody for 15 days.

Farooq was produced before Second JMFC Court here on Thursday. The judge, who noticed that Farooq was sick, ordered for providing him immediate treatment and remanded him in judicial custody.

He was admitted to Government Wenlock Hospital for treatment, and expected to be discharged after a few days.

He was arrested at Devanahalli International Airport in Bangalore on July 4 by immigration officials and later was handed over to the CID.

Mangalore Police had issued a lookout notice against Umar Farooq, based on the confession purported to have been made by Madoor Isubu, who is in custody, about Advocate Farooq's involvement in the alleged conspiracy to kill Harish Rai, another city based advocate.

It can be recalled that Farooq was a witness in Naushad Kashimji murder case.

Mumbai, May 19: Even as banks in United Arab Emirates are trying to trace NMC founder BR Shetty, a prominent bank in India is seeking to recover loans worth Rs19.13 billion from him and his companies. 

A local court has also barred him and his wife from selling or transferring some properties while it hears the case.

In the court filing, the Bank of Baroda said Shetty had an obligation to handover the title deeds of the 16 properties and mortgage the assets with the bank.

The 16 properties in several Indian cities including Bengaluru were among guarantees put up by Shetty and his wife against the Rs19.13 billion ($253 million) loans, according to a May 16 court order seen by Reuters. The court in Bengalaru set the next hearing in the case for June 8.

NMC, the largest private healthcare provider in the UAE, was placed under administration in April after months of turmoil. It disclosed in March it had debts of $6.6 billion, well above earlier estimates of $2.1 billion.

Finablr, in which Shetty has a controlling stake, said in April it may have nearly $1 billion more in debt than previously reported.

Bengaluru, Apr 8: In a strong show of support, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa stood behind the minorities in the state and said no one should target the Muslim community over the coronavirus crisis and the Tablighi Jamaat.

He said those communalising the issue will be dealt with strictly.

BS Yediyurappa was speaking to a regional media channel when he said "Nobody should speak a word against Muslims. This is a warning. If anyone blames the entire Muslim community for some isolated incident, I'll take action against them also without a second thought. Will not allow that to happen."

Since then, many have welcomed the CM's remarks including the opposition.

Former Karnataka Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao tweeted and said that other BJP leaders should follow the Karnataka CM and that it's a welcome step.

Congress president DK Shivakumar too said he agrees with the chief minister and that no one should target one community. "The CM should also act strictly against people posting communal remarks on social media and issue an order."

Earlier, Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa held a meeting with minority opposition MLAs and MLCs and urged them to pass the message within the community asking those who had attended the Delhi Nizamuddin Markaz event to come and get tested for Covid-19.
