Bengaluru, Apr 8: Former Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader R Ashok today predicted that Congress would trigger the fall of the coalition government in the State as people were disillutioned with the JD(S)-Congress tie-up to usurp power that had resulted in skirmishes between the leaders of the two parties that is spilling over to the joint campaign for the coming Lok Sabha polls.

Speaking at meet-the-press programme organised jointly by Press Club of Bengaluru and Bengaluru Reporters’ Guild, he said the squabble between the leaders and workers of coalition partners has sounded downfall of the government after the general election.

‘’The leaders of the two parties before forming the government had boasted that it was a prelude to ‘Mahaghatbhandan’ on the national level, but the development thereafter has taught a bitter lesson to Congress which is playing second fiddle despite winning higher number of seats in the last Assembly election and giving the power on a platter to JD(S) which had lost its standing winning just 37 seats in the 224-member House,’’ he said.

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

News Network

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.
