Mangaluru: Parliamentary secretary to the Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, I’van D’Souza on Wednesday sought action against Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for violating Election Code of Conduct.  He was referring to a tweet posted by the MP on March 11.

In the tweet the MP had urged the voters to vote for those who attack terrorist at 3.am and not to those who knock the doors of Supreme Court at 3. am to save the terrorists.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday D’Souza added “The election code of conduct was implemented on Sunday evening. But MP Nalin Kumar tweeted on Monday morning which clearly violated the code of conduct”.

“Moreover, he sought votes riding upon the courage and bravery of soldiers. Election Commission had asked not to do so. They should take action against him now” D’Souza demanded.

“The security of this country and the army are now limited to BJP nor they are the stakeholders of it. The army belongs to everyone and their action represents the whole country not just BJP” he added.

He further added that Congress will sweep the coastal belt in upcoming Lok Sabha elections and its candidates will win in all three coastal constituencies of Karnataka (Dakshina Kannada, Udupi/Chikmagalur and Uttara Kannada).

MLC and DCC President Harish Kumar, former MLA Shakuntala Shetty, DCC Vice President Ibrahim Kodijal, Dhananjay Adhangayya, Sulya Block Congress President Jayaprakash Rai, KPCC Secretary Savitha Ramesh, KPCC Member Yashoda and Nazir Bajal were present at the press conference.

Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.

Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.

The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.

However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.

Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.

The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.

Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.

Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.

SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
