Except coastal area, state will celebrate Eid-ul Fitr on Saturday
Bengaluru, June 14: Excluding coastal region, all other parts of the state would celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitr on Saturday, according to state moon sighting committee convener Maulana Sageer Ahmed Khan.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting of the Moon Sighting Committee at the Wakf Board central office on Cunningham Road in the city on Thursday, Khan said that as the Committee did not get information on sighting moon in any parts of the state, it was decided to celebrate Ramzan on Saturday. But after confirming the fact that the Shawwal Moon was sighted at Calicut in Kerala, the Khajis appealed the Muslims to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr in the coastal area on Friday.

Police ignored crucial footage in deadly Gurugram road accident case, claims victim’s friend: Report
New Delhi: A tragic road accident in Gurugram earlier this week claimed the life of young biker Akshat Garg after his motorcycle was struck by an SUV travelling on the wrong side of the road. Pradyuman Kumar, the victim’s friend, claimed that the police allegedly overlooked the critical evidence recorded on Pradyuman’s GoPro camera.
The incident occurred on September 15, 2024, on Golf Course Road, where Akshat was hit by Kuldeep Thakur, who was reportedly driving recklessly. Despite emergency services arriving soon, Akshat succumbed to his injuries.
"The police saw the recording, but they didn’t take it as evidence that day," Pradyuman told India Today. It wasn’t until three days later, after the accused Kuldeep Thakur had already been released on bail, that the police reached out to Pradyuman for the footage. He expressed deep frustration over what he perceives as negligence on the part of law enforcement in collecting vital evidence promptly.
Additionally, the publication reported that the accused has a history of traffic violations and that Thakur’s vehicle displayed a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sticker. The quick release of Thakur on bail has drawn criticism, particularly since the incident fell on a Sunday and Monday was a public holiday. Thakur is reportedly a co-owner of a company running social media campaigns for politicians.
Further investigation into the incident is underway.
