Mangaluru, Apr 4: Kannada actress-cum-politician Tara today campaigned the coastal city in favour of Dakshina Kannada sitting MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, who is seeking reelection for the third consecutive time on BJP ticket.

Accompanied by the women leaders of the BJP, the 45-year-old actress visited Mangaluru’s bustling fish market and urged the fisherwomen to forget “silly” issues and vote for BJP with the sole aim to give Narendra Modi another term as Prime Minister of India.

She claimed that the Modi government has fulfilled a long standing demand of the fisher community in setting up a separate ministry for them. Thus far, union ministry of agriculture and farmers welfare handled issues related to fishermen, she said, adding carving out a separate ministry will enable the government to give pointed focus on host of issues they face at the local and national level.

Speaking to media persons, she said: “The upcoming elections are all about the nation and not about local issues. The mood of the electorate is clearly geared in this direction. They are ready to repose their faith in the five-year corruption free and nationalistic centred administration that Modi has given.”

In such a scenario, she said, the candidate in this constituency becomes secondary as the country is eager to repose their faith in Modi for a second term and will do so through the local MP.

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.
