Bengaluru, Nov 2: In a bizarre case of dowry death, a college student killed herself by consuming poison, after the youth she was in love with allegedly dared her to die.

The deceased has been identified as Divya K (20), a resident of Kithaganur in east Bengaluru, and a first-year BCom student at a private college. Police are on the lookout for her friend Harish, a resident of the same area.

Police said Divya and Harish were in love and had reportedly eloped four months ago. After her parents lodged a police complaint, the duo returned to their respective homes.

Divya’s mother Anuradha alleged her daughter wanted to marry Harish, and they had agreed to her demand. However, trouble started when Harish allegedly demanded Rs 15 lakh to marry her, and threatened to marry someone else if the amount was not paid.

Divya sent him messages, requesting him to marry her. However, Harish replied that he would tie the knot with another girl, and told her he would not be affected even if she died.

He sent another message, asking her if she had the guts to die. Following this, a depressed Divya consumed poison and died on Tuesday.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
