Mangaluru, July 16: A team of young scientists led by Raghava Shetty of RDL Company, sponsored by Sahyadri Innovative Hub, invented a ‘Li-phone’ which works from LED light being used in house.

Speaking to reporters here on Monday, RDL Technologies Private Limited Founder Director and CEO Raghavendra G Shetty said that the Li-phone would function using the light waves of the LED bulbs. Li-phone is a simple, but invented from highly modern technology. This is different from other phones available in the market. Normally, the cell phones work through radio frequency waves. But in Li-phone would work from LED light. The phone would convert the voice or other sounds into electric signals which then transmitted through radio frequencies in the wind. The cell phone would receive such radio frequencies and reach them to the listeners. This was called radio frequency medium. The ultraviolet rays emitting from such radio frequencies would be more dangerous as they might cause dreaded diseases like cancer. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also warned against this development. So, he has got the patent for this invention. Now, this phone was invented under the sponsorship of Sahyadri Innovation Hub and it could be used in houses and offices, he said.

The SIM card being used in mobile phones should be connected to the cellular gateway under the LED light. All calls and messages of your cell phones will appear on the screen of the Li-phone. The users could use all their cell phone works. The processing of special frequencies of LED light would convert radio frequencies into data and pass on to Li-phone. The manufacturers could use this technology in all cell phones like WiFi technology, he said.

Pradeep Kumar, Ramachandra Shetty, Kanval Karkera and others 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.
