Mangaluru: A family in Belthangady is in dire need of financial aid after the lone bread earner of the family recently passed away earlier last month.
Abdul Hameed, a resident of Indabettu village in Belthangady Taluk passed away on July 20, this year. His death has pushed the family on the verge of financial helplessness.
Abdul Hameed married his wife Khatijatul Kubra about 15 years ago and the couple has one daughter and a son. Both their kids study in school. Hameed was an auto-rickshaw driver and had availed a loan from the bank to construct his house. Hameed fell sick when the construction was underway but managed to finish the construction with difficulty.
Hameed was undergoing treatment for an infection in his leg for the last 10 years and recently contracted COVID-19 after which he breathed his last on July 20.
“After the death of my husband our financial situation worsened and I along with our two kids tested positive for COVID-19. Our relatives and my brothers helped us as much as they could. The state of my health is still a concern as I have not recovered completely. And I don’t have money for my treatment.
“People are now calling us for the recovery of loan my husband availed. And I am unable to figure out how to fix the situation. Both my kids study at school and we don’t have any other source of income. We are already in debt that we availed for the construction of house and the medical bills. I request kind-hearted people to come forward and help us” Khatijatul Kubra said.

Shirtless protest at AI Summit: Police adds charges of rioting against arrested IYC members

New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has added charges of rioting against the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) members arrested in connection with the shirtless protest during the AI Summit here last week, an official said on Tuesday.
Eight IYC members, including its president Uday Bhanu Chib, have been arrested so far. Police have added sections 191(1) (rioting) and 192 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot- if rioting be committed; if not committed) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in the case.
Addressing a press conference, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime and Police Management & Media Cell) Devesh Chandra Srivastva described the accused as 'aggressive elements' and said that a premeditated attempt was made to breach the security cordon in the presence of dignitaries, delegates and visitors attending the international event.
"On February 20, 2026, while the India AI Impact Summit was underway at Bharat Mandapam, a premeditated attempt was made to breach the security cordon in the presence of dignitaries, delegates and visitors attending the international event. The aggressive elements were immediately overpowered. During the process of restraining them, some police personnel deployed on duty sustained injuries," he said.
He added that during the course of investigation, many individuals were seen in CCTV footage from the event venue and surrounding areas.
"The involvement of several other persons has also been detected, who were allegedly assisting the aggressive elements in various ways in carrying out the act," the Special CP said.
He said to unearth the entire conspiracy, continuous coordination is being maintained with police authorities of other states and raids are being carried out.
"During investigation, Sections 191(1) and 192 of the BNS have also been added. Based on the investigation so far, it has emerged that the offence was committed as part of a deep-rooted conspiracy, and substantial evidence in this regard has been obtained," he said.
Considering the multi-state ramifications of the case, the underlying financial and logistical networks among the accused, and the need for a comprehensive probe, further investigation has been transferred to the Inter-State Cell of the Crime Branch, Srivastva added.
According to police, additional sections under the BNS, including 196 (promoting enmity between different groups and acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 197 (assertions prejudicial to national integration), have been invoked in the FIR. Both carry a jail term of up to three years.
Charges of criminal conspiracy, obstruction of a public servant in discharge of duty, disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant, unlawful assembly and common intention had already been added to the case.
On Friday, the group of IYC workers staged a dramatic protest inside Hall No. 5 of the summit venue by removing their shirts to reveal T-shirts printed with slogans against the government and the India-US interim trade deal, before being whisked away by security personnel.
Police said the accused had registered online and obtained QR codes to gain entry into the venue.
The incident triggered a political slugfest, with the BJP calling it a "shameful act to tarnish India's image on the global stage", and the IYC defending it as a "peaceful" demonstration aimed at safeguarding national interests.
