Mangaluru, Oct 13: A local court has awarded life imprisonment to a 32-year-old man for killing his friend nearly two years ago over a love triangle. The murder had taken place on December 31, 2016 at Kuttar near Deralakatte on the outskirts of the city.

Muralidhar Pai, judge of the third additional district and sessions court on Friday held Pradeep Kumar guilty under IPC Section 302 (murder). He was also directed to pay a fine of Rs 1,000.

Pradeep and Rudramuni alias Santu, 26, both originally hailing from Shikaripura in Shivamogga district, had been working at a salon in Kuttar. They were staying together in the room just above the salon.

The duo was friends with a woman who also hailed from Shikaripura. Over time, both fell in love with her. However, Santu did not like Pradeep sharing camaraderie with the woman and hence quarrels were frequent between the two. On December 31, 2016, Pradeep stabbed Santu to death in their room after which he fled the spot.

A couple of days later, Ullal police nabbed Pradeep from Ujjodi. Inspector K R Gopikrishna filed a chargesheet against Pradeep.

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.
