Kasargod, Aug 18: A 38-year-old man was hacked to death by a gang at Naykap near Kumble in Kasaragod district last night.

Harish, a local resident, was found lying in a pool of blood on the road about a hundred metres away from his home.

A pedestrian who noticed him, immediately passed on information to the Kumble police. The police took the critically injured Harish to Kumble hospital and then to a private hospital here, but Harish's life could not be saved.

Harish had been working for an oil mill, Bhagavathi Mill, at Naykap for past 15 years. He was returning home after duty hours when he was attacked by unknown persons.

The police said that grievous injuries he received in his neck and head regions caused Harish's death. The police believe this to be a murder backed by personal enmity. They are also exploring the possibility of any other angle to this murder.

Kollam: The Chithara police on Sunday arrested 26-year-old Instagram influencer Mubeena, accusing her of stealing 17 sovereigns of gold ornaments from her sister-in-law’s residence. 

The complaint was filed by Muneera, who reported that her wedding chain (6 sovereigns) and a bangle (1 sovereign), along with other ornaments, were found missing in early October. Muneera alleged that Mubeena took the gold while the family was out of the house.

After reviewing CCTV footage, police identified Mubeena as the individual responsible for the theft on September 30. Though she initially denied involvement, Mubeena later confessed, citing a desire to fund a lavish lifestyle as her motive.

“During further questioning, Mubeena admitted to a prior incident of stealing gold from a friend’s house,” the police stated. She was taken into custody under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), signaling a more thorough investigation into her past activities.

Mangaluru, Oct 26: In a distressing case of online harassment, Surathkal police in Mangaluru have apprehended a man, identified as Shariq, on charges of cyber harassment that allegedly led a woman to attempt suicide. 

The case took a dark turn when the woman reported that her Facebook account was hacked, leading to an influx of explicit, threatening messages directed at her brother, Kishan, and friend, Harshith.

According to Commissioner of Police Anupam Agrawal, the complaint, registered on October 22, specifically accused Shariq of orchestrating the harassment. Summoned for questioning, Shariq’s mobile phones and social media accounts were initially reviewed, but no conclusive evidence surfaced.

The case escalated when the woman reportedly received more abusive messages on October 24, pushing her to a point of desperation. Following her suicide attempt, police intensified the probe, reaching out to social media platforms for further verification. 

The Surathkal police have filed charges under sections 78(1)(i), 351(1 & 2), and 3(5) of the BNS, with the investigation ongoing to uncover the full extent of the cyber harassment network.

Bengaluru, Oct 22: Heavy rainfall has once again turned Bengaluru’s streets into rivers, with large-scale waterlogging paralyzing India’s IT capital. As residents brace for more storms, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a day filled with thunderstorms, predicting minimum temperatures around 21°C.

"Bengaluru is expected to see a cloudy sky today, with light to moderate rainfall and thunderstorms impacting both urban and rural regions," stated the IMD. The maximum temperature is likely to reach 29°C, while the minimum will hover at 21°C.

Waterlogged streets have significantly slowed down traffic, with major bottlenecks reported along Sarjapura Road near the Wipro and RBD Layout junctions, according to police reports.

The flooding has sparked fresh criticism from opposition parties, who have seized the opportunity to target the Congress-led state government’s handling of the city's infrastructure.
