‘Don’t arrest Sangha Pariwar workers unnecessarily in Perduru issue’
MP Shobha Karandlaje meets SP Nimbargi
Udupi, June 4: Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje urged the police department not to arrest the Sangh Parivar workers unnecessarily in cattle trader Hussainabba death case.
After meeting SP Lakshman Nimbargi at the latter’s office here on Monday evening, Shobha expressed her displeasure over arresting the Bajrang Dal workers in related to the case. Illegal transportation of cattle in Perduru and Hiriyadka regions was increasing. Such incidents happened as this illegal activity was not controlled. So, the police department should take steps to control it, she added.
Bajrang Dal workers have informed the police about illegal transportation of cattle. The police should have taken precautionary measures at that time. Instead of doing their duty, they have summoned Bajrang Dal leader Suresh Mendon to complete their work, and later made him the accused. Police should not threaten the workers in this case. It was decided to protest in Udupi on Wednesday against the arrest of the Bajrang Dal workers, she said.
MLA K Raghupathi Bhat, Lalji R Mendon, BM Sukumar Shetty, BJP Mangaluru incharge K Uday Kumar Shetty, district president Mattar Rathnakar Hegde, former president Thingale Vikramarjuna Hegde and others were present.

8 children between ages of 1 and 14 dead after mass shooting in Louisiana, police say
Shreveport(US) (AP): A gunman in Louisiana killed eight children in shootings at two different homes early Sunday in the nation's deadliest mass shooting in more than two years, police in Shreveport said.
The victims ranged in age from one to about 14 years old, said Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon. A total of 10 were shot and some of the children were related to the suspect, Bordelon said.
The gunman later died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect, Bordelon said. The suspect stole a car while leaving the scene of the shootings and was followed by police, according to Bordelon.
Police did not release the name of the suspect but did say he was an adult male. The shootings were the result of a “domestic disturbance,” Bordelon said.
Officials said they were still gathering details at the crime scenes south of downtown Shreveport — the two homes and a third location.
“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” he said.
It was the deadliest mass shooting in the US since eight people were killed in a Chicago suburb in January 2024, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
At a news conference outside the residence where one of the shootings occurred, officials appeared stunned, requesting patience and prayers from the community as they sorted through multiple crime scenes.
“I just don't know what to say, my heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith said. “I cannot begin to imagine how such an event could occur.”
“This is a tragic situation — maybe the worst tragic situation we've ever had,” said Tom Arceneaux, mayor of the city in northwestern Louisiana with about 180,000 residents. “It's a terrible morning.”
Louisiana State Police say their detectives have been asked by Shreveport police to investigate. In a statement, state police say no officers were harmed in the shooting that involved an officer after a police pursuit into Bossier City on Sunday morning.
State police are asking anyone with pictures, video or information to share it with state police detectives.
Louisiana Gov Jeff Landry said in a statement that he and his wife were heartbroken. “We're deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers and first responders working tirelessly on the scene,” he added.
