Mangalore March 21: A miscreant pretending himself to be a surgeon hired a taxi from Ankola and robbed the driver of the taxi after taking him to Manipal.


The imposter, introducing himself as Dr. Rahul from the district hospital at Karwar, called taxi owner cum driver Nagaraj Naik, who hails from Shirkuli in Ankola, on Sunday night and told him that he had to rush to Manipal for an emergency surgery. He also asked the driver to wait at Ankola on Monday morning. Accordingly Nagaraj waited for him near an SBI ATM in Ankola. The imposter went into the ATM and withdrew some money. He gave some money to the driver apparently to win his confidence.


On Monday afternoon both reached Manipal and the imposter allegedly gave another Rs. 1,000 to Nagaraj and asked him to book a room and asked him t take the bag apparently containing money to the hotel room.


The imposter also told the driver that he was heading to Manipal Hospital and asked him to wait at the lodge. Within 30 minutes, he retuned to the lodge and told Nagaraj that there was no proper staff to help him to conduct the surgery and asked if he was ready to help.


He asked Nagaraj to keep his gold chain, cash and other valuables in the same bag which he had given to Nagaraj and asked him to park the car in the parking lot and wait there.


When the fraudster failed to return after two hours Nagaraj went to the room only to find that the valuables are missing. Nagaraj went to Manipal police station to register a complaint, but was turned away. Nagaraj returned to Ankola on Tuesday and filed a complaint with the local police.


The police have gathered the CCTV footage of the man from the ATM and said they would transfer the case to Manipal

New Delhi, Jan 17: The Supreme Court on Friday closed the monitoring of the killing of rationalist M M Kalburgi in 2015 in Dharwad.

A bench of Justices R F Nariman and S Ravindra Bhat noted that the charge sheet has already been filed and the matter was assigned to the sessions court. The court, however, noted two accused had absconded and could not be arrested till date, according to reports.

Senior advocate Devadatt Kamat, appearing for the Karnataka government, submitted that the High Court had also stopped monitoring of the matter.

The top court had in early last year directed that the Karnataka High Court's Dharwad bench to monitor the probe. The Karnataka police SIT, which investigated Gauri Lankesh case and filed the charge sheet, was allowed to take over the Kalburgi case.

Umadevi, in her 2017 plea, drew a parallel between Kalburgi's murder and killings of Narendra Dabholkar and Comrade Govind Pansare in Maharashtra and sought an SIT probe by a retired Supreme Court or a High Court judge. She urged the top court to monitor the probe till it reached its logical conclusion as there was no progress in the investigation conducted so far by the Karnataka police.

The court had earlier sought to know if there was a "common thread" in murder cases of Communist leader Pansare and rationalist Dabholkar in Maharashtra, and Kannada writer Kalburgi and journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh in Karnataka.
