Mangaluru, Jan 6: The miscreants arrested in connection with the coldblooded murder of Deepak Rao have reportedly received a huge amount of money recently.

The police are not sure whether the money was paid as supari to kill a Hindu youth to create tension in the region ahead of impending Karnataka Assembly polls.

According to sources, prime accused Pinki Nawaz received a huge amount of money, which was later shared among the four accused. The amount was transferred through a bank account.

The four suspects - Pinki Nawaz, Rizwan, Mohammed Naushad and Mohammed Irshan - were arrested within hours of the murder that took place on January 3 at Katipalla. The first two accused sustained bullet injuries when the police opened fire to nab them and the other two are being interrogated by the police.

"The police are investigating whether the money was paid for the murder. Deepak Rao was not a prominent leader of BJP, Bajrang Dal or any other organisation. He was only a BJP member. The police are investigating the purpose behind the transfer of money," said a police officer, who is part of the investigation team.

Local MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava earlier revealed that Pinki Navaz was an activist of BJP minority morcha and that he had campaigned for BJP candidate Krishna J Palemar in 2013 assembly elections. However, Palemar has disowned Pinki Navaz. “Bava is spreading lies. Pinki has no connection with BJP,” Palemar claimed.

Meanwhile, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader has demanded a thorough probe into the background of the accused. “There is a need for checking the background of all accused who killed Deepak Rao. Details of the persons, who support them financially should also be brought before law," Mr Khader said.

CD YE BI KOI POCHNE KI BAATH HAI WHO PAYED MONEY - OFCOURSE BJP/RSS

The only people who can kill even their own family in this country is none other than RSS/ Bajrangis. They never know what humanity is. Born to spread hatered. It's very clear that just to win some vote they killed our brother Deepak.

There must be a payer. and it may be a prominent BJP leader only.

AAP is far far better political party. Actually they are doing good works and they are not involving any violences

This one also goes to unproved catagory if there any Hindutva involvement

True.. he must be a election victim and the payer must be a BJP/RSS politician

If Deepak was not a prominent leader, then he must be a scapegoat to get political sympahy during election.

Dirty Politics......shame on you politicians.

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

coastaldigest.com news network

May 4,2020

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
