Mangaluru, Jan 19: Principal District and Sessions Judge Kadloor Satyanarayanacharya on Friday sentenced a 27-year-old resident of Kolnadu to one year imprisonment on finding him guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the death of a 45-year-old man in Adyar in March 2017.

According to the charge-sheet, Sadashiva, a resident of Neermarga, had been removed from work by Satish Shetty, owner of Spicy Corner Hotel, a food giant.

At midnight on March 2, 2017, he returned to the hotel for an overnight stay. Prashant (27), who worked in the hotel, objected to this and called Satish Shetty.

Prashant and Satish Shetty assaulted Sadashiva and abandoned him near the gate of Gunashree Vidyalaya near the hotel.

Satish Shetty called Sadashiva’s neice Pramila on March 3, 2017 morning to inform that her uncle was unwell and needs to be admitted to a hospital. Pramila came to the spot along with a few of her neighbours and took Sadashiva to a nearby hospital where he died of injury.

On a complaint by Sadashiva’s elder sister Baby, the Mangaluru Rural Police arrested Prashant. Police Inspector Siddagowda H. Bhajantri filed the charge-sheet against Prashant and Satish Shetty.

As Satish Shetty went absconding, the court split the case and tried Prashant for the offence.

Public Prosector Pushaparaj Adyantaya examined 14 witnesses. The judge on Friday sentenced Prashant to one year imprisonment for the offence under Section 304 (part 2) of Indian Penal Code (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).

The judge recommended to the District Legal Services Authority to award compensation under Karnataka Victim Compensation Scheme to Sadashiva’s mother who is under the care of Baby.

Mangaluru: The bustling coastal city of Mangaluru is about to get a vibrant makeover with the introduction of food streets in three prime locations, courtesy of the Dakshina Kannada district administration, Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC), and Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL).

These food streets aim to infuse the city's social and cultural life with new energy, while providing residents and visitors a tantalizing array of culinary delights.

The first food street, soon to be unveiled, is set to light up the area near Mangala Stadium, where around 27 food stalls will offer a range of delicious treats. According to Mayor Sudheer Shetty Kannur, the project will be spearheaded by the MSCL, which has already identified two more locations for additional food streets across the city.

“Stalls will be set up on land belonging to the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports, right next to Mangala Stadium,” shared the Mayor. Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan MP has instructed MSCL to execute the project via a tender process. Following the completion of civil works, eligible bidders will be allotted food stalls. Other food streets will come up near Mahaveer Circle (Pumpwell) and at Sharbathkatte near Karnataka Polytechnic, bringing the city’s favorite street foods closer to even more neighborhoods.

Pradeep D’Souza, Deputy Director of Youth Empowerment and Sports, confirmed that work has already begun near Mangala Stadium.

“The MSCL is making swift progress under the guidance of the Deputy Commissioner. The designated land lies between Karavali Utsav Maidan and Mangala Stadium, with permanent shops on one side and the food street to be developed on the other. The area will be equipped with essential amenities, including drinking water, electricity, and proper drainage. Cleanliness and organization will be prioritized, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere that can draw large crowds,” he said. The project is moving quickly, with completion expected in the near future.

Once completed, these food streets will not only enhance Mangaluru's charm but also provide a fresh destination for food lovers to gather, explore, and savour the diverse flavours of the city.
