Delay in Pumpwell-Thokkottu NH work: Resignation of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel sought
District Youth JD(S) stages protest
Mangaluru, July 19: The district youth JD(S) urged Lok Sabha Member Nalin Kumar Kateel to resign from his post holding moral responsibility for the delay in completing the Pumpwell-Thokkottu national highway over-bridge work.
The JDS workers staged a protest at the Pumpwell Circle here on Thursday against the delay in completing the work.
Addressing the agitators, Akshith Suvarna of district Youth JDS said that the MP has been giving false assurance to the people without doing anything and thus cheating the people. Though the work was being carried out for the last 7-8 years, it was not yet completed. It has caused accidents and deaths of precious lives. So, this time, he should be rejected as he was responsible for the delay in completing the over bridge work. But the MP has been passing the buck on officers and the construction company, he alleged.
The agitators shouted against the central government, national authority of India and the MP.
Dakshina Kannada district JDS president Muhammad Kunhi Vittla, state organizing secretary Faisal Rehman, youth general secretaries Madhusudhan Gowda and Srinath Rai, party district secretary Ram Ganesh, state leader Gopalkrishna Attavara, district Sumathi Hegde, Ramesh N, Sushil Narhona, Rathnakar Suvarna, Lathief, Muhammad Razaq, Rathish Karkera, Likhit Raj, Muhammad Asif, Hitesh Rai, Bharat Hegde, Kishore Shetty, Sharief Puttur, Satyanarayan, Kaleel, Kalandar, Musafar, Anish, Koushik, Abdul Aziz and others participated.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
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.
