After realizing that both Jaqueline and Smrithi had left their homes on their own will, the city police on Thursday released a 17-year-old male Muslim student, after torturing him in the custody for two days.

Ahmed Nisar, a II PU student of city based Star Education Institute was picked up by the police on February 2, for ‘inquiry’ as he was reportedly in touch with the girls on social media before they disappeared from the city.

However, after taking him to custody the police accused him of abducting the girls and allegedly forced him to confess to a crime which he did not commit.

“They used vulgar and foul words to abuse me and my family members. Then they began to torture me in the name of interrogation,” Nisar, who was hospitalized after being released from the police custody, told Coastaldigest.com.

It is learnt that, in one of the WhatsApp groups Nisar and the two missing girls were members. Besides, they were friends on Facebook.

“I have not even met Jaqueline and Smrithi in my life. Who am I to abduct them and why should I abduct them? I don’t know why the police leveled such a serious allegation against me,” he said.

On Tuesday, sleuths of Mangaluru North Police Station picked Nisar from his college for questioning without informing his parents and college management. When contacted by the college management, the police had promised to release him after a few minutes.

However, they later handed Nisar over to CCB police team headed by an Inspector who allegedly assaulted him by giving electric shock and verbally abused him during questioning.

Mangaluru city police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar has directed ACP (Central) Thilakchandra to inquire into the matter. "ACP has brought the issue to my notice and I have directed him to conduct an inquiry on torturing the youth," he said.

Meanwhile, the two girls were brought back from Kerala to Mangaluru on Thursday evening by a team of police. Police confirmed that they had left their homes on their own will in search of better life and wanted to live on their own by eking out livelihood.

In the film boy and girl from different communities can do all types of romance and they can show to the whole world, where is a respected and fast money making business.

But in the real life even just saying Hello is a big crime.

Everyone should take care of their every such action.

This is India.

SRILATHA / SWETHA,
Please visit Jacqueline & Smrithi and talk to them & then JUDGE. They are saying they left on their own will. We know cheddi police who target the innocent either from Muslims or DAlits.. & if we believe this police story who deceived people many times.
When we accept such made up news - I think animals are better than humans.. cos humans just rely on false news and accept whatever said in the media without VERIFICATION...
Ahmed Nisar must learn a lesson here. Dont make friends if U dont know them personally... Tomorrow cheddi police will target U for having friends with strangers who may have illegal activities.

Dear Nisar and all the Muslim youths,
Does your RELIGION allow you to join any groups with girls other than your relatives?
\Then, verily! Your Lord - for those who do evil (commit sins and are disobedient to Allah) in ignorance and afterward repent and do righteous deeds, verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful\""

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
