K'taka: 24-year-old youth allegedly murdered over inter-religious relationship with girl in Belagavi
Family alleges role of Ram Sena
Belgaum: A 24-year-old youngster was brutally murdered in Belgaum under the jurisdiction of Belagavi Railway Police Station on Tuesday, 28 September.
The deceased youngster has been identified as Arbaaz Aptab Mulla (24), a resident of Khanapur.
According to the complaint filed by Arbaaz’s mother, a Ram Sena activist Maharaj along with two others for the murder of her son. The mother Nazeema Shaikh, has named two other in her complaint including the father of Shweta, a girl who her son was allegedly having affair with.
Shaikh claims this to be a case where the family of the girl got her son brutally killed for being in an inter-religious relationship. She also alleged that Arbaaz was getting threatening calls from Maharaj and others against his friendship with Shweta.
Nazima also stated that Shweta was asking Arbaaz to break up with her saying she was getting marriage proposals from rich families.
According to Nazima, Maharaj called Arbaaz and her to a secluded place last Sunday and threatened them asking them to delete all pictures and contact details of Shweta and demanded money from them.
“He said that he has around 40 cases registered against him and that he is not bothered about getting another one registered against him. He said he would pour acid on our faces if we failed to give money. I had not taken cash with me so I told him I will pay using UPI but he did not agree. After pleading for several minutes we managed to come out of there” Nazima said.
“On Tuesday I had gone out of station for some paperwork related to my travel plans to the UK where my daughter stays. When I returned home, Arbaaz was missing from home. And then I get a call from a random person adding that they found my son’s phone. Later we found his body, he was killed. His hands and legs were tied and was brutally murdered” a grieving Nazima told Vartha Bharati over a phone call.
“Some people say it was a suicide because he was madly in love with the girl. But if it was a suicide how were his hands and legs tied?” Nazima questions while demanding justice for her son.
Based on her complaint, Maharaj, Shweta’s father Kumbar, and another person named Birje have been named in the FIR by the cops, but no arrests or action has yet been initiated against the three accused.
Vartha Bharati tried getting more details about the police action in the case and allegations of lapses from their side while the investigation, but the Railway Police SHO refrained from commenting on the matter citing “Technicalities” of the investigation. He said they will give details of the case and investigations shortly.

Abduction case: SIT conducts spot inspection at HD Revanna’s residence in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, May 6: The Special Investigation Team probing the case against JD(S) MLA H D Revanna in connection with the alleged kidnapping and illegal confining of a woman carried out a spot inspection at his residence at Basavanagudi in Bengaluru on Monday.
In the absence of the Revanna family, the SIT team summoned his lawyer, Gopal, for the spot inspection.
Two days ago, the SIT had inspected the MLA’s house at Holenarasipura in Hassan district.
Revanna, son of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, is facing two cases. One pertains to the molestation of the cook in which Revanna’s son Prajwal is also an accused.
The second one is a kidnapping case registered on May 2. The victim’s son charged that Revanna’s aide Sathish Babanna took his mother on a bike on April 29 and put her in an illegal confinement after videos surfaced showing Prajwal allegedly tied and raped her.

The woman has been rescued. The police team is going around the places where she was allegedly sexually brutalised.
Many explicit videos and photographs of several women have surfaced who were allegedly raped, molested and filmed by Prajwal.
The SIT took the two complainants to various locations where the rape and molestation took place.
Meanwhile, Revanna’s lawyer Gopal alleged that the SIT team did not let him inside the JD(S) leader's Basavanagudi house.
He charged that he was given notice for the spot inspection but the SIT did not allow him inside.
"I am not allowed inside though I should have been present there. Illegal things are going on. I am not against spot inspection. When the SIT served me a notice to be present here, why I was kept outside? Did I say that I will not cooperate?" Gopal sought to know.
Stating that a list of seized items has to be provided, he wondered whom the SIT will hand over to.
"Shouldn’t you (SIT) provide it to the person authorised for spot inspection? The SIT is doing it in a one-sided manner. They are doing it keeping the process away from my glare," the lawyer said.
Meanwhile, security personnel are on the alert at the Kempegowda International Airport anticipating the arrival of Prajwal from abroad. A Blue Corner Notice has also been issued against him.
A Blue Corner Notice is issued by the international police cooperation body to collect additional information from its member countries about a person's identity, location or activities in relation to a crime.
