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.

Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.

The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.

At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.

Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
