Kalaburagi: A suspicious death reported two months ago in Itaga village, Chittapur taluk, has now been confirmed as a murder. The police investigation revealed that the deceased's brother, Suresh Doddha Manmanta, is the prime suspect in the case.

The victim, identified as 35-year-old Kamanna Doddha Manmanta, was initially believed to have died accidentally after his body was found at the entrance of his house on July 5. The family cremated him, assuming he had fallen from the roof. However, Kamanna's mother, Parvathi, later raised suspicions about her son's death, leading her to file a complaint with the police.

Acting on the complaint, the police exhumed the body under the supervision of the Tehsildar and conducted a postmortem. The report confirmed that Kamanna's death was not accidental but the result of foul play. Consequently, the police registered a murder case on August 23 and launched a detailed investigation.

The investigation uncovered that the motive behind the murder was a property dispute. The family owned a farm in Tolamamadi village, Sedam taluk, which was sold for ₹56 lakh two months ago. Kamanna had deposited the money in his parents' names and retained some in his own account, excluding Suresh from any share. This led to a dispute between the brothers, ultimately resulting in Suresh allegedly murdering Kamanna on June 5.

The police have arrested Suresh and produced him in court, where he was remanded to judicial custody. The investigation was carried out by a team led by Kalaburagi District Superintendent of Police Addur Srinivasalu, Additional SP Srinidhi, Shahabad DySP Shankar Gowda Patil, and other officials.

Washington (PTI): US President-elect Donald Trump has said that he will impose a 25 per cent tariff on every product coming from Canada and Mexico as one of his first actions after assuming office on January 20.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, he said the tariff would remain in place till the time borders with Mexico and Canada are closed to prevent illegal immigration into the US.

"As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now, a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border,” Trump said.

"On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.

"This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem," he said.

"We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price," Trump said.
