Mudigere youth dies under suspicious circumstances: Murder suspected
Mudigere, July 12: A 24-year-old youth from the town has died under suspicious circumstances at his workplace at Kochi in Kerala. There has been widespread suspicion about the death.
The deceased has been identified as a resident of Chhatra maidan in the town Rizwan, son of Shaikh Ahmed. He was working as manager at the Nike shoe manufacturing company in Kochi.
On July 10, the parents’ of the deceased were informed that Rizwan hanged himself in his room in the company. When the parents visited Kochi, his body was in the mortuary. It is said that when the parents asked the company authorities about the death, they only informed that he had committed suicide.
"He had no personal reasons to commit suicide. After working for Adidas Company in Bengaluru as manager for ten years, he had joined Nike Company in Kochi last month. He visited Mudigere for the funeral of his grandmother 15 days ago. Even he had agreed for marriage. If at all he wanted to commit suicide, how would he agree for marriage,” his family members asked.
“This is not a suicide; it might be a murder. Something might have happened among the employees of the company or with others. Kochi police must carry out a thorough investigation into his death,” family members demanded.
Thousands of people had gathered near the house of Rizwan when his body was brought to town on Thursday morning at around 7 am. The funeral took place in the afternoon.

AIMPLB criticises JPC's approach on Waqf Amendment Bill, calls for adherence to guidelines
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has raised serious concerns over alleged procedural violations by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) reviewing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024. AIMPLB spokesperson Dr. SQR Ilyas criticised the JPC's approach, describing it as a "transgression of principles" and a breach of constitutional norms.
Dr. Ilyas stated that the JPC should limit consultations to stakeholders directly associated with Waqf matters. However, he claimed the committee is seeking input from organisations that lack relevance, including Central Ministries, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and groups aligned with the RSS.
In recent developments, six opposition members wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing dissatisfaction with JPC Chairperson Jagdambika Pal’s conduct, which they allege has hindered fair discussions. This follows an earlier letter by opposition members condemning the chairman's behaviour.
The AIMPLB has demanded that the committee consider objections from AIMPLB and other recognised Muslim organisations, while excluding entities unrelated to Waqf issues. It also urged the JPC to refrain from rushing its report and to follow due process, ensuring thorough debate among members before submission.
