Bengaluru, Oct 28: A city-based advocate was on Saturday convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by the city civil and sessions court for killing a woman advocate by stabbing her multiple times on the high court premises in broad daylight eight years ago.

The incident occurred on July 8, 2010. The convict, Rajappa from Seegalapaya in Kolar, was in love with Naveena, who was also practising at high court with him. The two had decided to marry, but Rajappa started suspecting her and often picked up a fight with her accusing her of having an affair with an advocate in the high court.

After Naveena threatened to end their relationship, he decided to kill her. He gained entry to the high court with a knife and confronted her before stabbing her multiple times on the first floor of the court corridor.

He later threatened other advocates with the knife and locked himself in a washroom where he tried to commit suicide by consuming poison and stabbing himself. However, advocates and Vidhana Soudha police rushed to arrest him. He was convicted based on depositions and several advocates who had witnessed the murder.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
