May 24, 2010

Mangalore, May 24: He has been restless in his efforts in the mortuary of Wenlock Hospital in the city since the first dead body arrived there after Saturday's aviation tragedy in Bajpe airport. He didn't know who deceased were and to which religion or place they belonged to. But he was leading works of shifting the charred dead bodies from the ambulance to mortuary and from mortuary to other vehicles as though he was appointed by the Government to carry out that job.

He was also supplying drinking water for the families of the victims.

Abdul Hameed Ali, a 60 year old stalwart and a father of six children assisted in shifting of more than 60 bodies in two days. When he heard the news of a flight accident he rushed to Mangalore from his hometown Manjeshwar and began his work without any expectations from anyone.

“All our children are well settled. So, I don't have any problem to dedicate myself to this”, Abdul Hameed said.

“I can't rest inside home when people are screaming outside”, he added.

Mangaluru: A heart-wrenching tragedy unfolded in the quiet Bellayuru village on the outskirts of Mangaluru as a man’s life ended on a railway track following an apparent double murder. Authorities from the Mulki police station identified the man as Karthik Bhat, 32, whose lifeless body was discovered on the tracks with his head positioned on the rail, indicating a tragic suicide.

Nearby, police recovered keys to a scooter and a house, which eventually led them to uncover a series of chilling events. Following the trail, officers located Bhat’s scooter parked near Mahammayi Temple. Inside the vehicle, they found documents confirming his identity, including an RC, insurance papers, and his driving license.

Their search continued to Bhat's home in Pakshikere, Kemral village, where they discovered a locked room. With the keys retrieved from the tracks, police unlocked the door, only to be confronted by a horrifying sight. The bodies of Priyanka (28) and her young son Hriday (4) lay in a pool of blood, pointing to a brutal murder that occurred just hours before Bhat’s suicide.

Initial investigations suggest Bhat, beleaguered by ongoing family disputes, committed the murders of his wife and son on the evening of November 8 before tragically ending his own life. A death note found in his diary hinted at his mental state and tragic intentions.

Priyanka’s family, residing in Shivamogga, was informed of the incident. The couple, married for six years, now leaves behind grieving relatives and unanswered questions. Police have initiated formal proceedings, collecting statements from family members as they continue their investigation into the tragic sequence of events.
