Look-out notice to nab psycho killer, searches stepped up

Bangalore, Aug 2: Police have issued a look-out notice as it stepped up searches to nab serial rapist Jaishankar, who escaped from the high-security central prison in a dare-devil act.

Home Minister K J George today visited the Parappana Agrahara jail, from where the notorious criminal, with the help of a bamboo pole and bed-sheet, and wearing a police uniform, scaled the high security inner and outer northern periphery wall with electrical fencing and jumped down early yesterday, in a filmy style stunning the police.

Jaishankar is believed to have sustained bleeding injuries due to pierced glass on the sole of his foot and abrasive injuries on his fore arms and suffered other injuries on his body. Police in neighbouring Tamil Nadu have also been alerted as he was suspected to have sneaked out of the state.

The jail-break was seen as a serious security lapse as 11 prison officials were suspended yesterday for alleged dereliction of duty.

A special squad has been formed which launched an enquiry. It was found that CCTV cameras were old and did not cover all the places. There was also suggestions to install bio-metric locking system in the prison.

36-year-old Jaishankar, considered as a psychopath, who was recently sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in a trespass, rape and murder case, hailed from Kanyapattanam Konasamudra village in Tamil Nadu's Salem district.

The convict is facing trial in more than 20 various cases in Chennai, Dharmpuri, Hosur, Salem, Tirupattur of Tamilnadu and Bangalore Rural, Chitradurga, Hiriyur, Kadur, Molakalmur and Tumkur in Karnataka.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

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.
