Janaagraha movement against MP Nalin Kumar Kateel in Mangaluru
Mangaluru, Dec 12: CPM senior leader K.R Sriyan alleged that though people in the district have been facing several problems, Lok Sabha Member Nalin Kumar Kateel, despite representing the constituency for twice, has failed to respond to the public issues.
Inaugurating Janaagraha movement condemning the failure of the MP in beedi workers minimum wages and allowances, sand problem, illegal tollgate, over-bridge and national highway, and the worst politics of BJP in Sabarimala issue, in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on Wednesday, he said that the BJP has been trying to get votes in the name of Rama Mandir, Sabarimala and Hindutva. But the result of assembly elections in five states announced on Tuesday taught a befitting reply to the BJP.
MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has been speaking in the tone of BJP’s Hindu communalist mentality and trying to polarize the people in the same ideology. When the Kerala government has been taking measures to ensure democratic rights of women following the Supreme Court order, the MP after he had been to Kerala engaged in false propaganda saying that there was an emergency and Jallianwala Bagh situation, he alleged.
The Lok Sabha Member has no concerns towards the problems of the people. The owners of Beedi companies have not taken steps to give the dues of allowances or minimum wages to over 2.5 lakh beedi workers in the district. Though the beedi workers have staged protests for several times, the MP has not responded.
Due to scarcity of sand, the construction workers have no jobs and earnings. Though the MP was aware of the fact that sand mafia was responsible for such a situation, he has not taken any steps to solve it, he alleged.
The construction of over bridge and service roads on highways was not yet completed even after eight years and this situation has been causing accidents. But the contractors have constructed the toll-gate and collecting the toll fee. People have been opposing it. But the MP has been shirking from his responsibility, he alleged.
CPM district secretary Vasanth Achary, State council members J Balakrishna Shetty and Yadava Shetty, Leaders U.B Lokaiah, Krishnappa Salian spoke on the occasion.
CPM district committee members Vasudev Uchhila, Jayanti Shetty, Robert D’Souza, Sadashiva Das, Dayanand Shetty, Jayanth Naiki, Ramanna Vittla, Yogish Jappinamogaru, Bharati Bolar and others led the protest.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
