Mangaluru: Former minister and MLA UT Khader has demanded a detailed investigation into the suspicious death of a cattle trader which occurred on Wednesday at Perdur in Udupi district.
“As murder is strongly suspected behind the death case of Jokatte’s Hussainabba, the police must carry out a thorough investigation and take stringent action against the culprits,” Khader said.
Speaking to 'Varthabharathi' about the incident, he said “Udupi police have already initiated the investigation. As murder is suspected, the investigation must also be carried in that direction. If Hussainabba died of a heart attack, then the circumstances that led to it should be investigated. “In any case, police should not allow anyone to take law in their hands,” he warned.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
