Kozhikode, Dec 1: A local court has sentenced two convicts to life imprisonment and imposed Rs 1 lakh fine in connection with the coldblooded murder of Nasiruddin Azeez, who was a Muslim Youth League (MYL) activist.

The convicts are Kappacherry Basheer and Kollayil Andru, who were first and second accused respectively in the case. According to police, both of them are activists of Social Democratic Party of India. Basheer had even contested as SDPI candidate in the last local body election.

22-year-old Nasiruddin Azeez was murdered in front of the Salafi Masjid at Puthalath in Velom grama panchayat in mid 2016. The assailants blocked Nasiruddin, who was riding pillion on a bike and stabbed him on his chest and back.

According to investigators, active resistance against SDPI and extremist propaganda by Nasiruddin led to his murder.

There were seven suspects in the case and all of them were SDPI workers and supporters, according to police. However, the Kozhikode Additional Sessions Court (I) acquitted five of them for lack of evidence and convicted only first two accused.

The victim’s father K P Aziz has expressed satisfaction over the verdict. The court examined 37 witnesses. The testimony of the victim’s cousin Abdul Rauf turned crucial during the trial.

C K Sreedharan, who was special prosecutor in the case, argued that the SDPI workers had killed the young MYL worker due to political animosity. “The verdict should open the eyes of the SDPI top leadership which claimed to protect the rights of minorities,” he said.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
