Mangaluru, December 3: Ihsan Karnataka Foundation president NKM Shafi Saadi inaugurated the ‘Milad Sneha Sangama’ programme organized at the ‘Connect-2018 Community Convention’, to mark the Karnataka Cultural Foundation’s 5th anniversary at the Nehru Stadium here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that there should not be bloodshed in the name of temples and masjids. The Muslim community would accept the Supreme Court verdict on Babri Masjid and Ram Mandir construction. Action should be taken against those who oppose the verdict. There would be no use from bandhs and disputing statements. Ram Mandir should be constructed under the Constitutional framework. After the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992, then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao had constituted a committee which spent Rs 18 crore in eight years to submit its report, in which there was no reference of the idol of Lord Sri Rama, he said.
Even the Allahabad High Court had given a verdict dividing the land into three parts. In that verdict, it had not mentioned about the idols of Lord Sri Rama. The Muslim community would welcome the Supreme Court verdict, he said.
Karnataka Hajj Samiti member and SSF national committee general secretary KM Abubakar Siddique Montugoli spoke on the occasion, while SYS state president GM Mohammad Kamil Saqafi presided over it.
SYS state vice president DK Umar Saqafi Kambalabettu, State SYS treasurer Yusuf Haji Uppalli, State SYS vice president Hyder Ali Kamil Nizami Shivamogga, SYS state secretary Abdul Haqeem Kodlipet, SYS secretary Usman Abdullah Kodagu, Team Hubburasool Conference convener Ashraf Saadi Malluru, SYS district president PM Usman Saadi Pattori, SYS Mangaluru leader CH Muhammed Ali Saqafi Ashariyya and others were present on the occasion.

Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
