Massive crowd joins funeral procession of slain bus owner Saifuddin in Malpe
Udupi: The body of Saif alias Saifuddin Athradi, a rowdy-sheeter and owner of the AKMS private bus service who was brutally murdered in broad daylight at Salmar near Malpe-Kodavoor on Saturday, was handed over to his family late Saturday night after a post-mortem examination at the mortuary of Manipal KMC Hospital.
On Sunday morning, a massive funeral procession was taken out from his residence in Manipal to the Athradi Mosque. Several buses owned by the deceased were part of the procession, with thousands of people joining to pay their respects.
At the Athradi Mosque, arrangements were made for the public to have a final glimpse of Saifuddin. His last rites will be performed later today with religious rituals, according to sources.

KKR hammer DC by eight wickets as Allen smashes unbeaten ton
New Delhi (PTI): Finn Allen smashed a 47-ball 100 not out as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to register their fourth win on the trot in the IPL, here on Friday.
Opting to bowl, KKR spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled Delhi Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142/8.
Pathum Nissanka struck a quick 50 (29 balls; 5x4, 3x6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes.
Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3x4, 3x6), gave Delhi some respite.
In reply, Allen, who came in as Impact Sub for Varun Chakravarthy, smashed 10 sixes and five fours to make it a lopsided chase as KKR sealed the win in just 14.2 overs.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals 142/8 in 20 overs (Pathum Nissanka 50, Ashutosh Sharma 39; Anukul Roy 2/31, Kartik Tyagi 2/25). Kolkata Knight Riders 147/2 in 14.2 overs (Finn Allen 100 not out).
