Kasargod, Oct 26: A 38-year-old man was murdered by a goonda gang at Uppala in Kasaragod on Thursday night.

According to Manjeshwaram police, the victim has been identified as Abdul Muthaleeb(38), resident of Mannamkuzhi in Uppala.

The man was hacked to death around 11pm as he was driving his car, near his apartment.

Based on the statement of the victim who died on the way to the hospital, police have registered a case against four persons including Kalia Rafeeq, alocal gang leader.

Police said the gang members fled the scene by the time neighbours reached the spot on hearing the commotion.

It was while he was being taken to the hospital that the victim revealed the name of the goonda gang leader, based on which the case has been registered.

Muthaleeb had worked with Kalia earlier. A few years ago, he parted ways with the gang and went to the Gulf. After returning from the Gulf, Muthaleeb got busy with real estate business. It is suspected that prior rivalry is the cause of the attack. Police said investigation is on to nab the culprits.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

News Network

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.
