Nejaru murder trial set to begin in Udupi District and Sessions Court
Udupi (Karnataka) (PTI): The Udupi District and Sessions Court has ordered the authorities at the Parappana Agrahara jail to produce Praveen Chowgule, the prime suspect in the murder of four family members in Nejaru near Brahmavar in November last.
The accused is mandated to appear for the hearing in the case scheduled on March 7, as directed by the court.
Chowgule's apprehension swiftly followed the brutal murders that occurred on November 12 last year. Since then, he has been held in judicial custody at Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara jail.

In February this year, law enforcement officials filed a detailed charge sheet pertaining to the case, shedding light on the motives behind Chowgule's alleged actions. The investigation highlighted his tumultuous relationship with Aynaz Mohammed (21), a trainee air hostess and former colleague.
The motive, as outlined by the police, underscores Chowgule's possessive nature and the discord in his relationship with Aynaz Mohammed. The victims of this heinous attack included Aynaz's mother, Haseena (47), her elder sister, Afnan (23), and younger brother, Aseem (14).
According to police, when Chowgule launched his assault on Aynaz, the other three victims were also present in the house and came under attack.
In a twist of fate, Haseena's mother-in-law, Hakira, was attacked but managed to survive by seeking refuge in a bathroom.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
