Three murdered in car in Tumkur; MMYC calls for CID probe
Bengaluru: The Mangaluru Muslim Youth Council (MMYC) has demanded a thorough investigation into the killing of three individuals, Shahul (45), Ishak (55), and Siddique (34), whose bodies were found in a burnt car at Kuchchangi lake in Tumkur district. The MMYC urged the state government to hand over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
At a press conference at the Nagar Press Club, MMYC General Secretary Junaid P.K. stated, "The police have arrested two suspects, Pataraju and Gangaraju, in connection with the case. It has been revealed that the victims were lured with money before being murdered. This heinous act has shocked society."

Investigating officers have reported that the suspects admitted to receiving Rs 6 lakh from the victims under the pretext of arranging funds, but they allegedly demanded Rs 50 lakhs. Additionally, Ishak's wife claimed that Ishak had pledged Rs 35 lakhs in gold and his house, which may have led to a robbery motive.
MMYC President Abubakar H. and other office bearers Salim CM, Samad Maddadka, Bashir Puncha, Ubaidullah, Shabir Uzire and others were present in the press conference. Junaid PK warned, "If the government does not conduct a proper investigation and provide adequate compensation to the victims' families, we will be forced to protest."
The MMYC is concerned that there may be a larger network involved in the murders and believes that a high-level investigation by the CID is necessary to uncover the truth.

Gujarat man held for impersonating govt official, duping people with forged letters
Ahmedabad (PTI): The Ahmedabad police have arrested a 29-year-old man who allegedly posed as a senior revenue official and used fake letters claiming to be from various government departments to cheat people, an official said on Sunday.
Mehul Shah, an engineer who manages two schools at Vankaner in Gujarat’s Morbi district, is accused of making lakhs of rupees with bogus documents and false claims, said inspector (crime branch) JK Makwana.
Shah had forged an appointment letter from the Ahmedabad district education officer (DEO) to offer a computer operator’s job in a government office to a complainant’s son. He also introduced himself as a trustee of a school and did not pay a man Rs 7 lakh due to him over the painting of a school building, the official said.
“Despite holding no official position in the state or central government, he used fake work permits and NOCs to cheat people of lakhs of rupees,” the police official said.
One complainant alleged that Shah identified himself as a top revenue department official and produced a fake letter from the chairman of the “department of science and research development” to make him install a siren and curtain in a hired vehicle but did not pay for the job, he said.
Bogus letters claiming to be from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ahmedabad DEO were used by the accused to cheat the complainants, the police official said.
Police have recovered from his possession fake identity cards and letters with headings like “bharat gaurav ratna shri samman council”, “chairman of department of science and research development”, “health and family welfare department”, and “road and building department”.
“The FIR is based on complaints by three victims. We appeal to the people to come forward and submit their complaints if they have been cheated by Shah in any way,” Makwana said.
