Bengaluru, Nov 5: The Bengaluru police, who are investigating into the murder case of RSS activist Rudresh, have made it clear that the alleged role of Popular Front of India leader Hashim Sharif, is not yet confirmed.

Mr Sharif, the Bengaluru district president of PFI, who was picked up by the police on Wednesday night as fifth accused in the case, has been remanded to police custody till November 16 by a local court.

A senior police officer said, “We are literally at a dead-end now. We will have to interrogate him and only then can we get some clarity in the case. We also have to find out if he had directed Mohamed Majidullah, Mohammed Sadiq, Wasim Ahmed and Irfan Pasha to commit the murder.”

There were also rumours doing the rounds that the case may be taken up by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). But, senior police officers said this would not be necessary as the Bengaluru city police had already cracked the case.

Demand for NIA or CBI probe

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which has now accused Mr. Baig of playing a role in the murder, has demanded that he step down from the ministry, and a CBI or NIA probe be ordered.

Shobha Karandlaje, BJP State general secretary and MP, demanded that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah convene a meeting of his Cabinet on Saturday to hand over the murder probe to either the CBI or the NIA, and to keep Mr. Baig out of the ministry pending an inquiry.

She said the BJP will stage a protest seeking his resignation in Bengaluru on November 8. She alleged that the government was bringing pressure on the State police team to hush up the case.

Ban sought on parties

Ms. Karandlaje said a delegation of BJP top leaders from the State is likely to meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on November 9 to seek a ban on the Social Democratic Party of India, the Karnataka Forum for Dignity, and the People's Front of India (PFI), in connection with the attacks on RSS workers.

The party which is involved in communalism since 1948 Gandhiji's killing, Babri masjid demolition, gujarath riot, muzaffarnagar riot, and all bomb blasts in past years, killed Rohit vemula and continued till Akhlak's brutal murder and still it's inhuman activity reached to such an extent that it killed it's own party leader praveen poojary in udupi and kidnapping najeeb, is demanding for a ban on organization which is working for Empowerment of Minority and dalith communities through its wonderful social activities.

Dear Mohan
What about freedom fighter group like rss bajrang ramsena durga sena sanathan sena. still they are fighting for freedom with holding Britisher's tail.

Come on live and let others to live peacefully. This world is for a short period to love each others. Not to follow hatred policy and group.
Try to bow in front of creator and not to mohan bagwath and his communal group.They are always with their upper caste policy.
Trust you will think for a peaceful life and society.

Who ever is doing the crime and their supportive group n their God fathers must be sent behind bar till their bone get bend. Sure there will be no communal riots or the crook politicians will play with normal people's lives for their benefits. Recently coastal Karnataka witnessed innocent's murder. No one came front for NIA or CBI probe. Seems now the NIA is completely controlled by RSS trained studentS. State govt must give warning to this shobha if not improved then strict action to be taken on her and send her behind bar for at least 4 to 5 years. Trust all will support except one.

Mangaluru: Establishing a Beary Development Corporation is a valid demand, but its implications must be carefully studied, remarked Speaker UT Khader. He proposed forming an expert committee to evaluate the corporation’s potential impact on the Beary community during a district-level conference of the Beary-speaking community, organized by the Akhila Bharata Beary Mahasabha at Kudmul Ranga Rao Town Hall on Wednesday.

Khader expressed concerns over inefficiencies in existing government-established corporations, such as unfilled leadership positions, lack of appointed members, and insufficient funding. “The Beary Development Corporation must avoid similar pitfalls,” he emphasized. He noted that the Minorities Development Corporation already provides various schemes for Beary Muslims, urging a detailed assessment to ensure the new corporation’s funding does not fall short of current provisions, which could disadvantage the community.

Praising the industrious and self-respecting nature of the Beary community, Khader highlighted the respect Beary elders once commanded in villages. He encouraged the youth to uphold this legacy and actively contribute to the community’s progress. Additionally, he commended the Beary youth for their swift and dedicated responses during emergencies, which have garnered widespread recognition.

Khader underscored the importance of unity, cautioning against fostering divisions within the community. He also stressed the critical role of education in development, urging the maintenance of detailed records for SSLC and PUC students to track progress.

The event was presided over by Azeez Baikampadi, president of the Akhila Bharata Beary Mahasabha. Among the dignitaries present were former MLA Mohiudeen Bava and retired police officer GA Bawa. Dr. UT Ifikhar Ali Farid, honorary president of the Akhila Bharata Beary Mahasabha and chairman of the Karnataka State Allied and Healthcare Council, was felicitated during the program.

In notable initiatives, Kanachuru Monu, chairman of Kanachuru Medical College, unveiled the Mahasabha’s new website, while Sheikhabba Karnire of Expertise Company, Jubail, launched an IAS-IPS program aimed at empowering the Beary community.

Mangaluru: Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in Singapore remain determined to establish direct air connectivity between Mangaluru and Singapore despite setbacks. This follows Air India Express' (AIE) recent decision to postpone its planned direct flight service on this route, disappointing many expats.

In response, NRIs have proposed an alternative solution: extending IndiGo's existing Singapore-Bengaluru flight to Mangaluru. Currently, the Singapore-Bengaluru flight lands at Kempegowda International Airport at 7:40 AM, but passengers cannot board the 9:00 AM Bengaluru-Mangaluru connection due to insufficient transit time. Extending the Singapore-Bengaluru flight to Mangaluru would address this issue and benefit travelers.

Rajesh H. Acharya, director of HQ Connections in Singapore and coordinator of the Singapore Tuluver community, expressed disappointment over AIE's handling of the situation. "We’ve been advocating for this route since 2017, and it was close to becoming a reality. However, the sudden postponement and lack of stakeholder support have delayed our efforts," he said.

A petition has been submitted to IndiGo Airlines requesting the introduction of a direct Mangaluru-Singapore flight. Alternatively, it suggests extending IndiGo’s existing Singapore-Bengaluru flight to include Mangaluru. Expats have also approached Scoot Airlines in Singapore for direct connectivity. However, the lack of 'Point of Call' status for Mangaluru Airport remains a significant hurdle for international flights.

Despite the challenges, NRIs continue their efforts to make direct air connectivity between Mangaluru and Singapore a reality.
