Mangaluru: "He was a good human being  who never hurt anyone. Always helpful to those in need.  He battled between life and death for no fault of his and   has now left behind all of us...."

These were the heartfelt words  that came from  Prabhaker, a close friend of Basheer of Akashbhavan who succumbed to the injuries he suffered in a fatal attack of communal hatred that followed soon after the Deepak murder case of Katipalla.

"He  had no enmity with anyone. He never hurt anyone and was friendly with everyone irrespective of their caste. When he was battling for life  not only his family members even his neighbours had prayed for his early recovery.  His family members were on a fast and were praying for the whole four days when  he was in hospital, still Basheer  could not be saved," said Prabhaker with deep pain.

 Prabhaker is totally shaken  following the demise of his dear friend  with whom he was together  for nearly 15 years while both  worked abroad. He also happens to be  a neighbour of Basheer family in Akashbhavan.

In fact Basheer who was lying in a pool of blood on the night of January 3 was  shifted to the hospital by two ambulance drivers named Rohith and Shekhar.

Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.

The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.

"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.

Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.

A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.

Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
