Surathkal: Two arrested for stealing cattle

Surathkal, Nov 28: Police have arrested two persons who were attempting to steal goats, cows in broad daylight, from Surathkal area and seized one car, one bike and a mobile phone belonging to them.

Muhammad Riyaz (22) and Sharief (21) from Thodar in Moodbidri are the arrested. The two have been taking away cattle, sheep and even chicken from the vicinity and have been supplying the same to the slaughter houses, said the police.

On November 23, at about 2.45 pm, the duo had lifted 5 sheep from Katipalla area and supplied to slaughter houses. The owner of the livestock lodged a complaint with Surathkal police station and also informed the police about the registration number of the car in which animals were taken.

The witnesses said that while a Maruti Swift car used to be parked at a distance, a man on bike used to inspect the area and if there are no threats, he used to herd the sheep towards the car, put them in the car and leave the spot.

However, the car that was used to lift animals from Surathkal was a rented car and as per the information given by the owner of the car, the two were arrested from their residence in Moodbidri.

The duo said that since they were scared of being beaten in public for lifting cattle, they started stealing sheeps and goats.

However, there are several cases of cattle lifting already filed against Muhammad Riyaz at Moodbidri police station.

While the police say that there are several people involved in the same, the life led by the two was nothing less than a luxurious one. It is said that the duo had lifted over 100 sheep and goats in just one month.

Lokayukta team arrives at disputed plot; CM likely to get ED summons

Mysuru, Oct 1: The Karnataka Lokayukta team on Tuesday arrived at the disputed plot in Mysuru and began investigation into the MUDA case against CM Siddaramaiah and his wife, news agency ANI reported. Snehamayi Krishna, the complainant in the case was also present with the team.

Sources stated that ED sleuths might issue a notice to CM Siddaramaiah at any time and issue summons to him for questioning. The sleuths are also keenly watching the movements of CM Siddaramaiah’s close associates and relatives, including a cabinet minister in connection with the MUDA scam.

Sources further said that there is a possibility of the ED conducting raids across the state on offices and residences of close associates of CM Siddaramaiah. The ED has also gathered information on bank accounts and financial transactions of CM Siddaramaiah and his associates.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by the police, against CM Siddaramaiah over the alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife Parvathi B.M. by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The ED registered the case taking cognisance of the FIR registered against the Chief Minister by the Lokayukta police on September 27.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka Lokayukta probing the MUDA case has also expedited the probe. The sleuths led by Mysuru Lokayukta SP T.J. Udesh have visited the controversial land on the outskirts of Mysuru city. The petitioner, Snehamayi Krishna, also accompanied the team.

The move of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife to return 14 sites allotted by the MUDA to her has triggered a debate. BJP MLA from Mysuru T.S. Srivatsa stated on Tuesday that the move of CM’s wife is not acceptable. "The two commissioners who colluded in the MUDA scam are roaming freely even today," he said.

"CM Siddaramaiah first claimed that there was no scam at all. Later, he formed a commission and now there is an FIR against him. After committing the mistake, you offer to return the sale deed. The time is up. He will have to tender his resignation and I am sure he won’t be in the position until Dasara festivities," MLA T.S. Srivatsa stated.

T.J. Abraham, one of the petitioners in the MUDA case said, “I had demanded the MUDA commissioner to take back the allotted sites. He had written back saying the process would be initiated. They were waiting for the investigation report."

"CM Siddaramaiah has not approached the division bench or the Supreme Court to challenge the order against him because there is nothing to be challenged. Returning sites is not a big sacrifice. The Chief Minister has lost it," Abraham stated.
