Mangalore, February 25: In a horrendous revenge, a group of miscreants, allegedly belonging to a saffron group, murdered a man with a criminal back ground on Friday afternoon at Charavu near Gurupura.

The deceased has been identified as Kabeer, who was one of the accused in two murder cases including that of Sukhananda Shetty.

The incident occurred at around 12:40 pm, just a furlong away from the house of the deceased.

According to preliminary sources, the assailants who came in a Scorpio, tried to crush Kabeer, who was going somewhere along with his two friends, who have been identified as Sarfaraz and Nazeer.

Although Kabeer and his friends managed to escape from the accident bid, the assailants immediately surrounded them and assaulted with lethal weapons before fleeing the scene. Kabeer died on spot while his friends suffered serious injuries.

When the police rushed to the spot, a bleeding body of Kabeer was lying on the ground. His mobile phone was lying beside him.

Mangaluru: In a tragic case that shocked the city, the principal district and sessions judge Ravindra M Joshi sentenced Sandeep Rathod of Sindagi, Vijayapura, to life imprisonment for the murder of 22-year-old college student Anjana Vashishta.

According to public prosecutor Judith OM Crasta, the gruesome crime occurred on June 7, 2019, when Anjana's body was discovered at Pais Cottage in Attavar. The victim was found with cable wires wrapped around her neck, her head wedged between the cot's rods, painting a chilling picture of her final moments.

Anjana, an MSc student in Ujire, had met Rathod, then 23, through Facebook in July 2018. Rathod, posing as a constable-in-training, developed a relationship with her, even securing a place at the Royal Academy Coaching Centre in Mangaluru. However, things took a dark turn when Anjana informed Rathod that her family had arranged a marriage proposal for her, which she planned to accept.

Devastated by her decision to end their relationship, Rathod called Anjana to his room. In a fit of rage, he strangled her. After the murder, he stole her phone, withdrew Rs 15,000 from her account using her ATM card, and fled to Sindagi, where he stayed at Sangam Lodge.

The Mangaluru South police investigated the case and filed charges under IPC Sections 302 (murder), 380 (theft), and 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property). The court's thorough investigation included testimony from 45 witnesses and the review of 100 documents.

The court ultimately sentenced Rathod to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000. He was also sentenced to three months’ imprisonment for the theft and misappropriation charges, along with fines totaling Rs 1,500. Additionally, the court directed the District Legal Services Authority to provide compensation to Anjana’s parents for their immense loss.
