Police obtain vital clues in Panjimogaru double murder case

July 6, 2011

Mangalore, July 6: The City police claimed to have obtained vital clues in the gruesome double murder case of mother-daughter at their residence in Panjimogaru on June 27, suggesting that the assailants had conflict over money matter with the family. But they refrained from divulging the details.

Razia (35) and her daughter Fathima Zuha (8) were murdered in their house at Panjimogaru in Kavoor police station limits here. They were stabbed by the assailants for “unknown reason.” Raziya was stabbed on the chest and hand and her body was found outside her two-storeyed house. Her daughter Fathima Zuha was stabbed on the chest and her body was found in the living room of the house.

City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh said, "We have lifted some finger prints from the spot and they are being scrutinised. We have sent finger prints to the forensic laboratory.”

Though the family claimed they had no enmity with anyone, investigation is being carried out with two different perspectives.

The police also said that they have questioned several people in the case including Hameed, husband of Raziya, his relatives and neighbours.

Mr Singh has formed two teams headed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Puttamadaiah to investigate the case.

He discounted initial reports that Razia could not scream for help as she was stabbed in the heart. Only doctors and the postmortem report will be able to tell if this is a fact, he said, adding that the mother and the daughter who were rushed to a private hospital nearby succumbed to injuries due to excessive blood loss.

Karnataka to scrap separate entrance exams for private universities from 2025

News Network

September 20,2024

Starting in the 2025-26 academic year, private universities in Karnataka offering professional courses will no longer conduct separate entrance exams. This decision follows a directive from the state’s Higher Education Department, prompting private universities to form an association and agree to this significant change.

In a recent meeting with Higher Education Minister Dr. M. C. Sudhakar, representatives from 17 private universities confirmed their decision to discontinue individual entrance tests. Of the 27 private universities in the state, 17 offer professional courses, and they have collectively agreed to accept scores from existing national or state-level entrance exams.

“Some universities will consider JEE scores, others will rely on KCET, and a few are inclined towards COMEDK,” Dr. Sudhakar stated, leaving the choice of examination to the universities themselves. However, the department has also suggested that the universities consider a unified entrance test for admissions.

Looking ahead, Dr. Sudhakar hinted that the government may introduce a common entrance test for general degree courses at private universities as well. "As government colleges and universities currently don’t require entrance exams for general degree courses, we haven’t made any decisions on this yet," he explained.

The meeting also addressed concerns over the high fees charged by private universities. To regulate this, the universities were instructed to establish fee fixation committees, headed by retired judges, as required by law. These committees will be responsible for determining tuition fees. Additionally, the government will continue to regulate fees for 40% of seats in professional courses that are filled through KCET.

In an effort to bring greater uniformity among private institutions, the government is considering enacting a common law for all private universities, which would replace the individual acts currently governing each university. This would place all private universities under a single regulatory framework.

This move is expected to streamline the admissions process and create a more standardized system for both professional and general degree programs across Karnataka's private universities.
