Mangaluru: Kerala man stabbed to death by colleague at Thannirbavi
Mangaluru: In a tragic incident near the tree park at Thannirbavi in Mangaluru, a 41-year-old man lost his life after being stabbed by his colleague during a heated altercation on Sunday morning.
The victim, identified as Binu from Kollam, Kerala, was employed at a boat manufacturing company located near the Thannirbavi tree park. The assailant, Johnson, also known as Binoy, a 52-year-old native of Tallipparamb in Kannur district, Kerala, allegedly attacked Binu with a knife. The motive behind the stabbing was reported to be a personal dispute that escalated after a clash between the two on Saturday.
Both Binu and Johnson, who were colleagues sharing the same residential area, had a disagreement on a personal matter. The situation took a violent turn when Johnson, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, visited Binu the following day and fatally stabbed him in a fit of rage.
The Panambur Police Station has registered a case, and an investigation into the incident is currently underway. Police officials visited the crime scene at Thannirbavi for a thorough inspection. The body of the deceased has been transferred to a local hospital for a post-mortem examination.

UP Cong holds statewide protest seeking probe into FIR against Swami Avimukteshwaranand
Lucknow (PTI): The Uttar Pradesh Congress on Wednesday staged a statewide protest demanding a fair and transparent inquiry into the FIR lodged against Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and those who filed the complaint against him.
In a statement issued here, the party said memorandums addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi were submitted through district magistrates in all districts of the state.
Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Manish Hindvi told PTI that the memorandums were handed over through the district administration in all 75 districts.
In the memorandum, the party alleged that Saraswati and his disciples were "unnecessarily harassed and humiliated" by police on the occasion of Amavasya and were prevented from taking a ritual bath (at the Magh Mela). It further alleged that some disciples were manhandled and taken to a police station.
The memorandum also claimed that an FIR was later registered against Saraswati, his disciple Swami Mukundanand Brahmachari and several unidentified persons in a sexual harassment case. It termed the case a "conspiracy" aimed at tarnishing the seer's reputation.
Citing Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution, the memorandum stated that these provisions guarantee religious freedom and the right of religious denominations to manage their own affairs.
It described the position of shankaracharya held by Saraswati as "one of the highest spiritual posts in Sanatan tradition" and alleged that the entire episode appeared to have been "orchestrated in a planned manner".
"We request that the background of the persons who got the FIR registered be investigated in a transparent manner by a retired high court judge and strict action be taken against them," the memorandum said.
It also sought a "fair and transparent probe" into the allegations levelled against Saraswati so that the truth could be established.
Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai had told reporters in Varanasi after meeting Saraswati that the party stood firmly with him.
The Congress said it would continue to press for an impartial inquiry into the entire episode.
On February 21, an FIR was lodged in Prayagraj against Saraswati and his disciple Mukundanand Brahmachari on charges of sexually abusing two persons, including a minor, over the past year at a gurukul and religious congregations, including the recently concluded Magh Mela.
Days after he was booked, Saraswati had said on Monday that he would not oppose his arrest and asserted that the "fabricated story" would be exposed sooner or later.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Saraswati alleged that criminals rule in Uttar Pradesh, level allegations and influence investigations, as he denied having any contact with the two persons for whose alleged sexual abuse he has been booked.
