According to sources, the differences between two Muslim groups – Tablighi Jamaat and Barelvi – led to the murder of Luqman, son of Munavar Pasha, a local resident.

It is learnt that he was stabbed by Suhel (23), Wasim, Konda Pasha and Khaleel. Police arrested Suhel but others are at large.

According to the complaint lodged by the victim’s father, the suspects were pestering Luqman, who followed the Barelvi school of thought, to join Tablighi Jamaat. They decided to kill him when he didn’t accede. They stabbed him near a dargah in front of the KSRTC?bus depot around 10.30 am on Friday. He was taken to a hospital in Mysuru where he died from excessive bleeding.

The murder sparked tension in the town and police were deployed in Muslim neighbourhoods.

As the news began to spread, a few Muslim youths assaulted Asif, the head of Mahmoodiya Mosque, for allegedly instigating the suspects to induct Luqman into Tablighi Jamaat.

Luqman’s father said that a clash broke out between Suhel and Luqman on Thursday night and that he had approached the police to take action against Suhel but the police neglected the incident and did not register a case.

MLA?K?S?Puttanaiah and Superintendent of Police C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy visited the spot.

Istead of this kind of fights muslims should get together and fight against social evils like RSS and so on. Muslims can't be defeated in all over the world because we like death as much as kaafirs like life.
