Mangaluru, Dec 13: A final year MBBS student of Yenepoya Medical College was found dead in his flat at Kadri in the city on Tuesday. It is believed that he had died five days ago as the body was in highly a decomposed state.

The student identified as Mohammed Hamdan Rashid (29) hailing from Hazratganj, Lucknow, reportedly paid his college fees on Friday and came back to his Kasturi Mansion apartment in Kadri and never came out. The cause of death is being said to be asthma.

However, his death is said to have taken place without anyone's notice. Speaking to Coastaldigest.com, Saif, a social worker handling the post-death affairs of the student's body, said that it was only after five days that the locals broke open his flat door when the foul smell emanating from his dead body became unbearable.

The post mortem of the body was conducted at Government Wenlock Hospital. Later, body was taken to Zeenath Baksh Masjid the city for burial. The body has decomposed badly and it is not possible to send it to Lucknow, Mr. Saif said. The deceased's family has arrived from Lucknow, he added.

The activist and other students gathered at the morgue accused the college of not taking care of the post-death affairs of the body and engaging in correspondence with the deceased student's family.

Kadri police are investigating the matter.

Waqf land: Karnataka govt warns action against officials issuing eviction notice to farmers

November 10,2024

Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has warned that disciplinary action will be taken against those officials who change the land mutation records and serve eviction notices to farmers under the Waqf Act.

In a letter, the Revenue Department Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar Kataria reminded all regional commissioners and deputy commissioners in the districts that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently had a meeting following complaints about certain land properties being made in favour of the Karnataka Board of Waqfs.

In the meeting it was decided that all the directions issued previously by any government office or authority to change the mutation records has been withdrawn, the letter said.

It added that all the notices served in the past have also been withdrawn and no action should be taken against the farmers who are cultivating on the said land.

On the directions of the chief minister, the previous letters and the latest reminders served on November 7 to the farmers and land owners have been withdraw, the letter said.

"The officials who served reminder-2 despite the chief minister's direction will face appropriate disciplinary action," Kataria said in his letter.

He said he has been instructed to strictly implement the chief minister's direction.

The fresh direction was issued in poll-bound Karnataka, where bypolls to three crucial assembly segments are due on November 13.

Some farmers in Honwad village in Vijayapura in north Karnataka had alleged last month that they were served eviction notices as the Waqf Board claimed rights over it.

Subsequently, complaints started in pouring in from some other parts of the state.

BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on October 25 alleged that Karnataka Waqf Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan directed the deputy commissioners and revenue officials to register lands in favour of the Waqf Board within 15 days, which resulted in confusion.

On Surya's request, the Chairman of the Joint Committee of Parliament on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Jagdambika Pal visited Karnataka on November 7 and met farmers in Hubballi, Vijayapura and Belagavi districts who had alleged that their lands were marked as Waqf properties.
