Mangaluru, Oct 10: The sound of ‘Shri Kaala Bhairava’ Jogi’s Bombay band sets the celebration mood and the Kudla’s popular troupe is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary this year.

Said to be first to introduce Nasik band in Dakishina Kannada, the city-based troupe currently has over 80 members including girls. According to Nagaraj Jogi, the founder of the troupe, it is the first ever band troupe to get registered in this costal district.

“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently. Since 2004 drumming has been a wonderful journey and a memorable one,” says, Jogi adding that “our goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to do better than what we used to be.”

The troupe shares a special bond with Navratri festivities and adds colour to Dasara in Mangaluru. On October 18, 19 and 20, the troupe will be performing at Mangaladevi Temple, Kudroli Sri Gokarnanatheshwara Temple and Venkataramana Temple of Car Street in the city respectively.

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.
