The murder of cattle trader Husenabba has taken a mysterious turn. Husenabba’s body was found in a settlement around Udupi, after he was picked up by police, after Sangh Parivar people had assaulted him for transporting cattle. Investigations have revealed he died following a gruesome blow to his head. Now what remains to be established is whether this deathly blow was rained on him by Sangh Parivar members who had assaulted him before police took him in their vehicle for further investigation, or the police harmed him while he was in their custody. Initially the police had registered a case of mysterious death after Husenabba’s body was found, stating he must have died owing to exertion or heart attack as he had escaped when Sangh Parivar members caught him red handed with the cattle. But the case was reopened owing to public pressure that expressed doubts on the conclusion reached by the police. With that, a shocking truth of police being hand in glove with the perpetrators came to light. The miscreants had assaulted Husenabba in the presence of police and put him into the official jeep. When the cops took him to police station they realized Husenabba was dead. Then the body was disposed of in a secluded area with the help of Sangh Parivar, and the police floated the theory of heart attack.
The post mortem report had to state whether Husebanna died of heart attack or as a result of assault. Now, the report says it was due to serious injury to the head that he died. Investigation needs to be carried out to see who caused the injury to him – Sangh Parivar or the police? What’s clear beyond doubt is that the police have a prominent role in the murder. Else why would they dispose the body in some remote area? The higher authorizes of police department need to be commended for having carried out an impartial investigation even when their own colleagues are involved in the crime.
The state government has handed over the case to CID since a neutral agency needs to investigate into the case that has police involvement in the crime. Now that cops have probed into the mater, and have arrested the accused, is there a need for another investigation? The reason for this is a case of Adi Udupi which had such gaping holes that the accused easily got out of it without being charged of any crime. The police could not collect evidence against anyone and produce in the court. Senior members destroyed some prominent evidence and witnesses. Everyone went scot free after this. In case of Husenabba police department has shown the gumption to level charges against its own people, without attempting to camouflage the facts. But then why did it get transferred to CID? We do not have answers yet for that. Since police department has Sangh Parivar members too within its folds, it is better for a neutral agency to investigate. Police department has provided impetus to Sangh Parivar to increase its presence in coastal Karnataka. There seems to be great understanding between fake Gaurakshaks and cops in these areas.
There is another aspect here. The man who sold the cattle has informed the Sangh Parivar members about Husenabba having bought it from him. This makes him partner in the crime. Such cases are aplenty. If the police can level charges against cattle traders or transporters, why can’t they hold cattle selling-owners equally responsible too? Else such cases would increase with no fairness in the trade. CID police have a great responsibility in terms of bringing the culprits to book in Husenabba case and repose faith of coastal Karnataka people on the law implementation agencies.

London, Nov 22: A bomb disposal squad deployed as a “precaution” to the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport concluded an investigation into a "security incident" on Friday after making a “suspect package” safe.
The South Terminal of Gatwick Airport, the UK's second busiest airport after Heathrow, which was briefly shut owing to the incident reopened following the incident.
The Gatwick is around 45 km south of London.
Two people detained during the enquiries have since been allowed to continue their journey as the airport was opened.
“Police have concluded their investigation into a report of a suspect package at Gatwick Airport. Officers from the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team made the package safe, and the airport has been handed back to its operator,” Sussex Police said in an updated statement.
“Two people detained while enquiries were ongoing have subsequently been allowed to continue their journeys. There will remain an increased police presence in the area to assist with passengers accessing the South Terminal for onward travel,” the statement added.
Earlier on Friday, the incident caused severe disruption at the busy airport’s South Terminal, while the North Terminal of Gatwick Airport remained unaffected.
“Police were called to the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport at 8.20 am on Friday (November 22) following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage,” a Sussex Police statement said.
“To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with. As a precaution, an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team is being deployed to the airport. This is causing significant disruption and some roads around the South Terminal have been closed. We’d advise the public to avoid the area where possible,” it said.
Footage on social media taken outside the airport showed crowds of frustrated travellers being moved away from the terminal building.
Gatwick said it was working hard to resolve the issue.
“A large part of the South Terminal has been evacuated as a precaution while we continue to investigate a security incident," the airport said in a social media post.
“Passengers will not be able to enter the South Terminal while this is ongoing. The safety and security of our passengers and staff remain our top priority. We are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
Train and bus services that serve the airport were also impacted while the police carried out their inquiries.
In an unrelated incident in south London on Friday morning, the US Embassy area in Nine Elms by the River Thames was the scene of a controlled explosion by Scotland Yard dealing with what they believe may have been a “hoax device”.
“We can confirm the 'loud bang' reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” the Metropolitan Police said in a post on X.
“Initial indications are that the item was a hoax device. An investigation will now follow. Some cordons will remain in place for the time being but the majority of the police response will now be stood down,” it added.
