Sullia man wins Rs. 23 crores in Abu Dhabi raffle draw
Abu Dhabi: Mohammed Fayaz J A, a 24-year old man hailing from Sullia in Karnataka received the biggest surprise of his life when he received a phone call from UAE declaring him as the winner of 12 Million AED raffle draw (INR 23.16 crores).
Interestingly, Fayaz has never been to UAE and works as an accountant in a private firm in Mumbai. He reportedly bought the ticket of the raffle draw online from Mumbai.
"It’s my roommate who gave me the idea to buy Big Ticket. I couldn't buy for two months as the deadline was over. But this time, I bought it just in time, the last day of September. I am really a lucky winner. I checked online to verify. Last night, I had a dream that I would win this. I told my friend that something great is happening soon," Khaleej Times quoted Fayaz as saying.
"Both my parents passed away because of kidney diseases. My father had worked for a long time in Saudi Arabia. He fought kidney failures for more than 12 years. We had seen both my parents in pain for long. We children are still recovering from the shock of our parents being no longer with us. I have a younger sister. My elder sister is married. Also we sold a part of our land to build a house. But that is pending now. I want to reclaim the land we had to sell. I will look to finish construction work of our home soon. I will also do some charity work. I have never been to the UAE. Now I will be there next month to receive the cheque." Fayaz said.

Swamiji fires gun into the air in Kalaburagi village, video goes viral
Kalaburagi: An incident involving a swamiji firing a gun into the air has been reported from Udachan village in Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district. The act, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media.
The swamiji has been identified as Sri Shantalinga Shivacharya, pontiff of the Hiremath of Sri Shankaralingeshwara Samsthana. According to reports, the incident took place on Sunday evening within the premises of the math, where the swamiji allegedly fired a single-barrel gun into the air.
This is not the first time the swami has courted controversy. Last year, he was reportedly found driving erratically under the influence of alcohol in Salotagi village of neighbouring Indi taluk, following which members of the public confronted him. He later fled from the math, sources said.

More recently, during the annual fair of the Sri Shankaralingeshwara Math in Udachan village, the swami had arrived at the village with police protection, claiming to be the rightful pontiff of the math. Despite opposition from villagers, he reportedly went ahead and conducted rituals related to the fair.
The latest incident of firing the gun into the air has triggered criticism, especially after the video surfaced online. Further action, if any, is awaited from the authorities.
