Bantwal Rahiman murder case: FIR filed against Deepak, Sumit, 13 Others
Bantwal: A case has been registered against 15 individuals, including Deepak and Sumit, in connection with the murder of Abdul Rahiman (32), secretary of Koltmajalu Juma Masjid and a pickup driver, and the attempted murder of Kalandar Shafi. The incident took place near Ira Kodi in Kuriyal village of Bantwal taluk.
According to the complaint, Rahiman and Shafi were unloading sand from a pickup truck near the house of one Rajeevi when the accused, including Deepak and Sumit, both known to the victims, arrived suddenly. Rahiman was dragged from the driver’s seat and attacked with swords, knives, and iron rods. Shafi, who tried to intervene, was also stabbed in the chest, back, and hands.
As locals began shouting for help, the assailants fled the scene with their weapons. Rahiman succumbed to his injuries on the spot, while Shafi was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Based on Shafi’s account during transit and a statement by eyewitness Mohammad Nisar, Bantwal Rural Police registered an FIR under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 — including Sections 103, 109, 118(1), 118(2), 190, 191(1), 191(2), and 191(3).
The complaint suggests communal motivation or personal enmity behind the attack. The involvement of known acquaintances has deepened concerns in the local community.
Five police teams have been formed under DYSP Vijay Prakash to trace and arrest the accused. The operation is being carried out in coordination with Mangaluru City’s CCB and Bantwal Rural Police.
The brutal killing of Abdul Rahiman and the attempted murder of Shafi have triggered widespread outrage. Rahiman, who was actively involved in community service and mosque affairs, is being remembered fondly by villagers.
