Mangaluru: The Surathkal police have filed a chargesheet in court against six individuals in connection with the alleged suicide of community leader and businessman Mumtaz Ali. The chargesheet, comprising over 600 pages, was submitted to the JMFC court in Mangaluru on Monday.

The main accused include Rahmat (a resident of Krishna Nagar 7th Block), her husband and the fifth accused Shuhaib, the second accused Abdul Sattar, the third accused Kalandar Shafi (a resident of Nandavar), the fourth accused Mustafa (a resident of Krishna Nagar), and Siraj, the sixth accused and driver of Sattar’s car. The chargesheet was prepared under the supervision of Surathkal Police Inspector Mahesh Prasad.

On October 7, 2024, Mumtaz Ali’s car was found in an accident-like condition near the Kuloor Bridge. It was suspected that he had jumped into the Phalguni River. Following this, his daughter filed a missing person’s complaint, while his brother Haider Ali alleged that Rahmat and the other accused had mentally harassed Mumtaz, leading to his suspected suicide.

Based on these allegations, a case was registered and the police began investigations, questioning over 100 witnesses as part of the process.

The search operation in the river concluded on October 8, 2024, when Mumtaz Ali’s body was found. The chargesheet details the findings and evidence gathered during the investigation.
