Mangaluru, July 18: Former minister BA Mohidin's autobiography 'Nannolagina Naanu' would be released at the Town Hall here on July 20 at 4 pm.

Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, autobiography narrators BA Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Kulai said that former Vice-chancellor Dr BA Vivek Rai would release the autobiography.

‘Nudi Namana’, in memory of late BA Mohidin would also be held on the occasion. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar, former minister MC Nanaiah, Ministers UT Khader, Zameer Ahmed Khan, MLCs BM Farooq, Ivon D’Souza, MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, educationist Prof Radhakrishna Bengaluru, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, Chairman of Bearys Group Syed Muhammad Beary, Karavali Education Institution's Chairman Ganesh Rao, Chancellor of Yenepoya university Yenepoya Abdul Kunhi, Varthabharati Editor-in-Chief Abdussalam Puthige, Umar Teekay of Teekays , CPI District secretary V Kukyan, CPM district secretary K Vasanth Achari, SDPI District president Athaullah Jokatte would take part in it, Mohammed Ali said.

" We tried to write the autobiography of BA Mohidin for the last four years. But he did not respond to it positively. He had said that he did not do any achievements and had done his duty. When he was pressurised to explain about his life as it would be an inspiration to the next generation, he had agreed to narrate his story. When he was asked questions, he answered them very happily. As a result, ‘Nannolagina Naanu’ is now ready for release, said Muhammad Kulai.

After completing the book, they read the entire book before him at Mangaluru and Bengaluru where he was admitted to hospitals. He was so happy and waiting for its release. After seeing the invitation card, he gave some suggestions for the success of the programme. But his demise before the release of his autobiography was a great loss to the society. But they have the satisfaction of recording his life, achievements and values, said Muhammad Ali.

The 232 page book would cost Rs 250 and on the day of release, it would be sold at Rs 200. The book would be sent to all universities and schools and college libraries besides, MLAs, MPs, former MLAs and his political colleagues. Already, Mohidin fans have come forward to supply the book to the libraries of universities and schools and colleges across the state, Muhammad Kulai said.

BA Mohidin son Asif Masood, son-in-law Ahmed Sharief were present at the press conference.

Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.

Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.

The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.

However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.

Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.

The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.

Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.

Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.

SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
