Family claims death ‘suspicious’; Body buried 18 days ago exhumed in Vitla
Vitla: Manjeshwar and Vitla police exhumed a body buried 18 days ago, as the relatives of the deceased had lodged a complaint expressing suspicions about his death, at Bandithadaka near Kanyana on Thursday.
The deceased person is identified as Ashraf (44), a resident of Marjipalla in Sunkadakatte which falls under the Manjeshwara Police limits. Ibrahim, the brother of the deceased, has complained to the Manjeshwara police station that Ashraf’s death had happened under suspicious circumstances, and it was not normal. Accordingly, the police decided to exhume the body and conduct an investigation.
Manjeshwara police, with the assistance of the Vitla police and a court order, arrived at the Rahmaniya Juma Masjid in Bandithadka where the deceased Ashraf was buried. Staff from the Yenepoya Hospital Forensic department, Mangalore and Kasargod Health department officials jointly collaborated to exhume the body. Bantwal Tahsildar was also present in the spot.
The deceased Ashraf ran a petty shop near his house in Marjipalla of Sunkadakatte, Kanyana. On 5th May, he had gone home after closing his shop, taken his food and slept. In the morning, he hadn’t reportedly gotten up from his sleep. Ashraf’s wife had told everyone that he had died of heart attack in sleep. In the evening, his body was buried in the burial ground of Bandithadka Rahmaniya Juma Masjid.

Man suspected to have contracted GBS dies in Maharashtra; cases top 100 in Pune
Pune (PTI): A man suspected to have contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) has died in Maharashtra's Solapur district, while the number of cases of the immunological nerve disorder in Pune has crossed 100, health officials said on Monday.
This is possibly the first death in Maharashtra suspected to have been caused by the GBS.
The man, native of Solapur, had come to Pune, where he is suspected to have contracted the disease.
He died in Solapur, an official said without giving more details.
"The total number of GBS cases in Pune on Sunday increased to 101, comprising 68 males and 33 females. Of these, 16 patients are on ventilator support. One suspected death has been reported in Solapur," the state health department official said.
Meanwhile, the Rapid Response Team (RRT) and the Pune Municipal Corporation's health department continued surveillance in the affected Sinhgad Road areas here.
A total of 25,578 houses have been surveyed so far, including 15,761 in the Pune Municipal Corporation limits, 3,719 in Chinchwad Municipal Corporation limits, and 6,098 houses in the district's rural areas, the official said.
GBS is a rare condition that causes sudden numbness and muscle weakness, with symptoms including severe weakness in the limbs, loose motions etc.
Bacterial and viral infections generally lead to GBS as they weaken the immunity of patients, according to doctors.
While GBS is prevalent in both paediatric and young-age groups, it will not lead to an epidemic or pandemic, they said, adding that most patients recover fully with treatment.
The state health department set up the Rapid Response Team to investigate the sudden rise in this infection after 24 suspected cases were found initially.
