Three murdered in car in Tumkur; MMYC calls for CID probe
Bengaluru: The Mangaluru Muslim Youth Council (MMYC) has demanded a thorough investigation into the killing of three individuals, Shahul (45), Ishak (55), and Siddique (34), whose bodies were found in a burnt car at Kuchchangi lake in Tumkur district. The MMYC urged the state government to hand over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
At a press conference at the Nagar Press Club, MMYC General Secretary Junaid P.K. stated, "The police have arrested two suspects, Pataraju and Gangaraju, in connection with the case. It has been revealed that the victims were lured with money before being murdered. This heinous act has shocked society."

Investigating officers have reported that the suspects admitted to receiving Rs 6 lakh from the victims under the pretext of arranging funds, but they allegedly demanded Rs 50 lakhs. Additionally, Ishak's wife claimed that Ishak had pledged Rs 35 lakhs in gold and his house, which may have led to a robbery motive.
MMYC President Abubakar H. and other office bearers Salim CM, Samad Maddadka, Bashir Puncha, Ubaidullah, Shabir Uzire and others were present in the press conference. Junaid PK warned, "If the government does not conduct a proper investigation and provide adequate compensation to the victims' families, we will be forced to protest."
The MMYC is concerned that there may be a larger network involved in the murders and believes that a high-level investigation by the CID is necessary to uncover the truth.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
