Mangalore, July 31: “If murders happen in broad daylight and the case remains unsolved for more than a month, how can a common man live safely in this society?” asked Muneer Katipalla, President, Democratic Youth Federation of India.

He was speaking at a protest organised by Kuloor-Kavoor unit of DYFI, demanding high level inquiry into Panjimogaru double murder case.

More than 100 protestors took out at protest march from Panjimogaru, the place of brutal double murder, and converged at Kavoor junction to pressurise the police department and politicians.

Mr Katipalla said that the people have the right to know the culprit behind this gruesome crime.

Criticising the police department for failing to solve the case even after a month, he said culprit should be punished.

Noticing how rumors have made people living in the area doubt each other, he resented the way in which suspicion has crept over several innocents.

If such murderers were not caught, they'll get a boost to continue such atrocities. When police cannot solve cases like this, they should hand it over to higher departments such as COD, he opined.

Imthiaz B K, President, DYFI, Mangalore City, Dayanand Shetty, District Secretary, DYFI, Mohammed Shareef, Former Corporator, Saajida, President, DYFI women's wing and many others were present.


60 people interrogated

Meanwhile, speaking on the condition of anonymity, a police officer informed that over 60 people including criminals and family members of the victims have been interrogated by four teams of 20 officers so far. “The case has too many angles and even City Crime Bureau Police is investigating into it”, he said.

He appealed that people come forward and cooperate with police if they have any information.

It can be recalled that Razia (35), wife of a scrap merchant and their daughter Fathima Zua (8) were murdered in their two-story house in Panjimogaru in Kavoor police station limits on June 28.

Mangaluru, Jan 29: The police have registered a suo motu case against some of the youths who raised life threat slogans against former Karnataka Minister and Congress MLA UT Khader during the pro-Citizenship Amendment Act rally here on January 27.

A video of the incident that went viral on social media showed the youths belonging to BJP and other saffron outfits raising slogans that they will “cut off his limbs and chop off his head if necessary” during the rally organised by the BJP in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act on Monday.

Though Mr Khader did not file a complaint, the Congress party had urged the police to register a suo motu case.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: After the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government has followed the suit. The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapters on legendary south Indian rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent. 

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

The trimmed textbooks uploaded on the website of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) by Karnataka state Textbook Society revealed removal of chapters on Tipu Sultan for the seventh grade.

Justifying the decision, officials said, "students study similar chapters in Class 6 and more in the 10th grade." Yet another senior official from the Text Book Society said, "Trimming does not mean we have removed half of the syllabus from textbooks. It is only keeping in mind the repetition we have condensed the chapters. In case students study about a particular dynasty in higher grades, then the same had been removed from lower grades."

A few months ago, there was an uproar over dropping of content on Tipu Sultan and MLAs from the ruling BJP also demanded the same and petitioned to the Chief Minister. Even an expert committee led by Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa suggested to not drop any content on the historic figure. However, the department still decided to drop lessons from one of the classes while keeping the syllabus short for the next 120 active academic days.

Earlier this month, a controversy had erupted over the CBSE's decision to omit topics like federalism, secularism, citizenship, etc while reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12. The education board had issued a detailed clarification later, stating that topics claimed to be dropped "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

Last week, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh expressed its concern over 'deliberate and systematic' deletions of chapters related to the freedom struggle and the party's role in it from the Class 10-12 syllabi of the Secondary Education Board.

Mangaluru, June 23: G Jagadeesha, deputy commissioner of Udupi, who is heading the magisterial inquiry into the December 19 police firing case in Mangaluru, has sought more time from the government to submit the report.

Two innocent passersby - Nauseen Kudroli (49) and Abdul Jaleel Bengre (23) - were killed when policemen opened fire randomly after caning the alleged anti-CAA protesters in Mangaluru. 

The chief minister B S Yediyurappa led Karnataka state government had commissioned two inquires, one magisterial and the other CID, into the incident. 

“Due to the covid-19 pandemic the probe couldn’t be complete on time. I have asked the government for more time. Two more hearings are to be conducted,” said Mr Jagadeesha, who was expected to submit the report before the government on Tuesday.
