A P Muhammed Musliyar Kanthapuram passes away
Mangaluru: Renowned scholar A P Muhammed Musliyar Kanthapuram, secretary of Samastha Kerala Jem-iyyathul Ulama, died on Sunday morning; he was 72.
Following a bout of illness, he had been admitted to a private hospital in Kozhikode. He failed to respond to the treatment and breathed his last.
Kanthapuram, who had been living in Karuvampoyil of Kozhikode district, was born in 1950. He was the son of Chekkutty and Ayesha Biwi and the disciple of Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar. He joined Kanthapuram as a Mudarris (teacher) with authorization at the ‘baaqiyaat’ of 1970.
Since he resembled his mentor Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar a lot, the scholar was called ‘Cheriya A P Ustad’ (Junior AP Sir) by many.

Virat Kohli speaks about bond with Rohit Sharma ahead of MI vs RCB clash
Mumbai: Ahead of the IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, RCB star batter Virat Kohli opened up about his long-standing bond with Rohit Sharma. Despite past media rumours of a rift between the two, Kohli reaffirmed the mutual respect and strong professional relationship they share.
In a conversation on the RCB channel, Kohli said, “Playing alongside someone for such a long time naturally leads to a strong bond, especially when you share so much of your understanding of the game. In the early years, we were constantly learning from each other and growing in our careers simultaneously.”
He further added that over the years, they had built trust and often found themselves on the same page while making decisions in leadership roles. “Reflecting on our long careers, we are both grateful and proud of the journey we've shared. The consistency and memories we’ve built together have been incredibly fulfilling,” he said.
Kohli and Rohit have played crucial roles in Indian cricket’s success over the past 15 years. While rumours of discord often emerged, both have consistently denied them and maintained professionalism on and off the field.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will aim to register their second win of the season as they host RCB at the Wankhede Stadium. Led by Hardik Pandya, MI have so far won just one out of their four matches, while RCB have two victories in three games.
