Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee (DCC) has filed a complaint with the electoral officer against MP Nalin Kumar Kateel over his tweet in which he had written on March 11, "Vote for those who had ordered the attack on an enemy country at 3 am and not for those who knock the Supreme Court's doors for a terrorist at 3 am... Modi again."

A delegation led by DCC president K. Harish Kumar and Ivan D'Souza, who is parliamentary secretary to the chief minister, met the election officer and complained that BJP workers, for the past couple of days, were seeking votes by using the names of the country's soldiers.

Such a tweet by the MP to seek votes in the name of Indian Army and to write 'once again Modi' is a clear violation of the Code of Conduct. Therefore, the officer has been urged to register a case against the member of parliament.

District Congress Vice-President Sadashiva Ullal, General Secretary Santosh Kumar Shetty, Secretary Arif Bava, district spokesperson Khalid Ujire, Executive committee members Pius Monteiro, Abdul Saleem, and others were present.

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.
