Will contest against Congress if ticket is given to Rajendra Kumar: Former Minster Janardhan Poojary
Mangaluru: Senior Congress leader and former AICC General Secretary Janardhan Poojary on Thursday added that in case SDCC bank president Rajendra Kumar gets ticket from Congress party for the upcoming LS elections then he will contest against him.
Poojary labeled charges on corruption on Rajendra Kumar and added that he is not a primary member of the party. Poojary was speaking at a press conference in a private hotel in Mangaluru here.
Poojary further alleged that Kumar had paid money to senior leaders of the party in state for lobbying to get the LS ticket. He urged that the party at any cost should not give ticket to Kumar.
Elaborating on his plans in this regard, Poojary said “I will be going to Delhi in next couple of day. I will meet Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders including AK Antony and will make sure Kumar doesn’t get the ticket. If they go ahead and gives him the ticket then I will not keep quiet, I will contest against him”.
“I don’t have a problem in former minister Ramanath Rai, Vinaya Kumar Saroke, MLC B. K Hariprasad get the ticket. But Kumar should not get ticket. I also know that I’van D’Souza is lobbying for ticket and believes himself to be a ticket aspirant. He will not get the ticket. Even if he does I will also contest against him” former union minister added.
Former MLA Vijay Kumar Shetty and Karunakar Shetty were also present in the press conference here.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
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.
