Mangaluru, Oct 27: A notorious gangster from Kerala has been arrested by the Dakshina Kannada police in connection with the coldblooded murder of his aide Unnikrishnan, whose body was found on September 3 at Kuppetti village near Uppinangady in the coastal district of Karnataka.

40-year-old gangster Anas was picked up by the police from Kakanad. He is the fifth person to be arrested by the police in connection with this case.

According to sources, Anas has several associates, who are engaged in illegal activities which range from gold smuggling, kidnapping, land deals and other businesses. Several cases have been booked against him in Kerala.

The victim Unnikrishnan was a close aide of Anas, and would look after his illegal activities in Dakshina Kannada, Madikeri and others places in Karnataka, according to sources from the police department. It is still not clear why he planned to murder a member of his own gang.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
