Bangalore, October 18: The city police are not only investigating Tuesday evening's shooting at builder and educationist Dayanand Pai here but also Mr. Pai himself for his alleged role in a forgery case along with Shivajinagar MLA Roshan Baig.

Mr. Pai, a member of the board of management, B.M.S. Institute of Technology, and syndicate member of Mangalore and Manipal Universities, was shot at, allegedly by a local gangster, over a property row near the busy Ramakrishna Ashram junction here five minutes past six on Tuesday evening.

Although the case involving him and Mr. Baig was filed last October, the jurisdictional Bharati Nagar police have reportedly not made any headway.

The case, filed by city builder Ziaulla Sharieff, said Mr. Baig booked a penthouse for his wife on Haines Road by paying Rs. 5 lakh advance with the assurance that the remaining Rs. 45 lakh would be paid in instalments by the time of execution of the sale deed.

Although there was paper work was not done or general power of attorney issued, Mr. Baig took possession of the penthouse and renovated it. When Mr. Sharieff asked for the money, Mr. Baig allegedly threatened him with dire consequences and sold the penthouse to a third party for Rs.1.5 crore, Mr. Sharieff's complaint said.

Mr. Baig allegedly forged the sale deed with the help of Mr. Pai who signed the document claiming to be the apartment's owner.

The Bharati Nagar police sent the documents for forensic examination.

“Preliminary investigation has revealed that Mr. Sharieff has been duped. We are waiting for more evidence,” a police officer who is part of theSecurity

Meanwhile, Mr. Pai has been provided with two police gunmen for round-the-clock security following Tuesday's attack, Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) T. Suneel Kumar said.

Contrary to the police statement that his car was bulletproof, the police clarified on Wednesday that its windows had a fibre sheet placed between two or three thick sheets of glass, which helped resist the force of the bullets fired by the assailants.

The Basavanagudi police, who are investigating, said that the two rounds fired at Mr. Pai's car came from 0.22 bore country-make pistols. “We are checking the CCTV footage on the stretch along with [mobile phone] call record details for the clues,” the police said.

The Central Crime Branch is tracking down Hebbet Manja's men after the gangster claimed on a TV channel he orchestrated the attack.

The police are verifying details about a complaint filed at Rajanakunte police station involving Mr. Dayanand Pai over land dispute which allegedly trigged the attack.

However, the Rajanukunte police denied having received any such complaint.

Mangaluru: In an act of extraordinary selflessness, a young lecturer and mother, Archana Kamath, tragically passed away just days after donating a portion of her liver to a relative. She was 33.

Archana, who had devoted her career to shaping young minds as a lecturer at Canara College and most recently at Manel Srinivasa Nayak MBA College, was a loving mother to a four-year-old boy. Her sudden passing has left her family, students, and colleagues reeling in shock and grief.

The story of her untimely demise began when a relative of her husband, CA Chethan Kumar, required a life-saving liver transplant. 

With no other matching donors in sight, Archana stepped forward, her heart full of compassion. Her blood type matched, and without hesitation, she made the brave decision to donate a part of her liver—an act that would ultimately cost her life.

The surgery, performed 12 days ago in Bengaluru, seemed successful. Archana appeared to recover well and was discharged, bringing hope and relief to her loved ones. 

But just days after returning home, she suddenly fell ill and passed away on September 15 in a Mangaluru hospital. The cause of her sudden decline remains a mystery, compounding the sorrow of those who knew and loved her.

Her final act of love saved a life—the relative who received her liver is said to be recovering well. But Archana’s loss is felt deeply by her husband and their young son, who are now left to navigate a world without her warmth and strength.

As family and friends grapple with this tragic turn of events, Archana’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her as a caring educator, devoted mother, and a woman whose ultimate sacrifice was made out of love.

The full story of her passing is still unfolding, and her untimely death has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of all who knew her.

Udupi: A vigilant Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable, Aparna K T, demonstrated remarkable presence of mind when she rescued a student who slipped while trying to board a moving train at Udupi Railway Station on Friday morning.

The incident occurred as passenger train number 06602 arrived at the station around 7:30 AM. The student, traveling from Mangaluru to Gokarna, had briefly alighted to purchase snacks. However, as the train began moving, she hurried back towards the carriage with the snacks in hand. In her rush, she lost her footing, slipping dangerously between the platform and the moving train.

Woman constable Aparna K T was given a cash reward of Rs 5000.

 

Constable Aparna, who had been closely monitoring the passengers, immediately sprang into action. “I saw her running towards the train and alerted everyone by blowing my whistle. She slipped, and her legs were caught between the platform and the train. Without hesitation, I pulled her out with the help of others nearby,” she recalled.

Thanks to Aparna’s quick thinking and the swift response of the railway staff, the train was stopped in time. Railway personnel, including the guard and loco pilot, were immediately informed, and they acted promptly to halt the train using both flag signals and a walkie-talkie.

RPF Inspector Madhusoodhanan PV arrived at the scene shortly after to check on the passenger's condition. The shaken but uninjured student was given water and helped back onto the train to safely continue her journey.

In an added measure of care, the RPF post at Bhatkal was notified to follow up on the passenger’s well-being during her journey. The student, fortunately, reached her destination without further incident.

The heroic rescue was captured on CCTV and has since gone viral on social media, earning widespread praise. In recognition of her bravery, Regional Railway Manager (RRM) Karwar awarded Constable Aparna a cash reward of ₹5,000, commending her quick action that averted a potentially tragic accident.

Mangaluru, Sept 9: An action committee has voiced concerns about the construction of a new toll plaza near Sooralpady Masjid on the Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala National Highway 169, 17 km from Nanthoor. Amidst ongoing construction, the Action Committee Against Surathkal Toll Gate claims irregularities and poor site selection.

Committee convener Muneer Katipalla noted that only 50% of the Nanthoor-Moodbidri-Karkala highway upgrade is complete after seven to eight years. The Nanthoor-Vamanjoor stretch remains unfinished, causing traffic issues, while dangerous hillside cutting near Kettikal has forced residents to relocate. Additionally, a flyover near Kaikamba threatens a local market.

Katipalla also criticized the construction of a bypass road, alleging it benefits real estate investors and inflates the project cost, which could increase toll fees. The proposed toll plaza, situated 36 km from Talapady toll gate and 35 km from Brahmarakotlu toll gate, violates distance regulations and is too close to local amenities, raising public objections.

There is growing concern that toll collection might begin before the project's completion, with locals frustrated by unaddressed grievances. Social activist Bava Padarangi, DYFI leader Srinath Kulal, and other community leaders attended the site visit.
