Mangaluru Jan 7: Nearly four days after he was brutally attacked by a gang of communal hatemongers without any provocation at Kottara Chowki in the city, 47-year-old Basheer passed away at a private hospital on Sunday.

Basheer had sustained deep injuries in his head and chest in the attack. Medical sources said that he did not show any sign of  recovery in four days and breathed his last at 8: 10 a.m. today.

Basheer used to run a fast food outlet near Kottara Chowki. On the fateful day he was returning home after closing his outlet in the night. Half way through a gang of four waylaid him and attacked with lethal weapons.

Two ambulance drivers, who saw Basheer lying in a pool of blood, had informed the police before rushing him to a nearby hospital.

The random attack took place hours after another gang of miscreants hacked a youth, Deepak Rao, to death at Katipalla area in the city. All the accused have been arrested in both the cases. According to police, the intension behind the attack was to create tension in the region.

As soon as the news of death began to spread, police tightened the security across city. ADGP Kamal Pant visited the hospital where Basheer passed away. The family members already started preparations for the last rites of Basheer.

Sources said that Basheer's second son Irfan, who landed in Abu Dhabi just three months ago, is expected to reach Mangaluru by evening. His elder son had returned from Middle East two days ago.

ನನ್ನ ಮಗ ಗಲ್ಫ್ ಗೆ ಕೆಲಸ ಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದನೋ ಏನೋ? ( ದೀಪಕ್ ರವರ ತಾಯಿ)

ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆ ಗಲ್ಪ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದಿದ್ದರೆ ಹೀಗೆ  ಆಗುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲವೋ ಏನೋ? (ಬಶೀರ್ ರವರ ಮಗ)

ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಭಾರತೀಯರಿಗೆ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಂತ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಭದ್ರತೆಯನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ ಈ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಕಾರಣ ಕರ್ತರು ಯಾರು? ನಾವು ಆಲೋಚಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.

Sharjah, UAE: Ayisha Basheer Esra, a talented young writer hailing from Aramboor in Dakshina Kannada’s Sullia taluk, marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning literary career with the launch of her debut novel, The Betrayal of the Kingdom, at the Sharjah International Book Fair. The prestigious event, recognized as the world’s largest book fair, provided a fitting stage for the unveiling of Esra’s work.

The official release ceremony was conducted by Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director of the Religious Affairs Office of the Sharjah Government and a distinguished member of the royal family, underscoring the significance of Esra’s achievement. Mrs. Lini Shivaprasad, Principal of GEMS Millennium School, Sharjah, had the honor of receiving the first copy of the novel.

The event was graced by the presence of numerous distinguished guests, reflecting the widespread recognition of Esra’s literary talent and the anticipation surrounding her debut novel. Among the notable attendees were Syed Panakkad Munawwarali Shihab Tangal, Dr. Mariam Al Shenasi, the UAE’s renowned writer and Head of Dar Al Yasmin Publications, Dr. K. K. N. Kurup, Retired Vice Chancellor of Calicut University and Historian, Sharjah Businessman Shamsuddin Bin Mohideen, Nizar Talangara, President of the Sharjah Indian Association, V. T Salim, Director of Silver Home Real Estate, Munir Al Wafa, MD of Lipi Publication Akbar, and other esteemed individuals.

At the remarkably young age of eight, Esra has already established herself as a prolific writer, authoring and publishing collections of short stories in addition to her newly released full-length novel. Her dedication to writing and her exceptional talent have positioned her as one of the youngest authors to achieve such literary success. 

Esra is the daughter of Basheer and Haseena, residents of Aramboor, Sullia, and currently a student at Sharjah’s GEMS Millennium School. Her early accomplishments serve as an inspiration to aspiring young writers and a testament to the power of nurturing creativity from a young age.

Mangaluru, Nov 28: Karnataka Health Minister and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday handed over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the severe distress faced by farmers due to crashing crop prices.

PM Modi arrived at the Mangaluru International Airport en route to Udupi, where Gundu Rao welcomed him and submitted the letter. The chief minister’s message stressed that farmers are suffering heavy losses because maize and green gram are being bought far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The state urged the Centre to immediately begin procurement at MSP.

According to the letter, Karnataka has a bumper harvest this year—over 54.74 lakh metric tons of maize and 1.98 lakh metric tons of green gram—yet farmers are unable to secure fair prices. Against the MSP of ₹2,400/MT for maize and ₹8,768/MT for green gram, market rates have plunged to ₹1,600–₹1,800 and ₹5,400 respectively.

The chief minister has requested the Centre to:

• Direct NAFED, FCI and NCCF to start MSP procurement immediately.
• Ensure ethanol units purchase maize directly from farmers or FPOs.
• Increase Karnataka’s ethanol allocation, citing high production capacity.
• Stop maize imports, which have depressed domestic prices.
• Relax quality norms for green gram, allowing up to 10% discoloration due to rains.

The letter stresses that MSP is crucial for farmer dignity and income stability and calls for swift central intervention to prevent a deepening crisis.

Udupi, Dec 1: A horrific case of alleged rape has unfolded in Udupi, where a worker from a Hindutva organisation, previously arrested and released on bail for harassing a young woman, is now accused of waylaying and sexually assaulting her.

The arrested individual has been identified as Pradeep Poojary (26), a member of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike's Nairkode unit in Perdur.

Poojary had allegedly been relentlessly harassing the young woman, pressuring her to marry him. When she bravely stood up to him and refused his demands, she filed a formal complaint at the Hiriyadka police station. He was subsequently arrested in that initial harassment case but was later granted bail.

According to police reports, driven by the same malicious grudge, Poojary allegedly intercepted the woman again on November 29. While she was walking through a deserted area, the accused is claimed to have threatened her by grabbing her neck. When she again refused to marry him, he allegedly proceeded to rape her.

The survivor immediately informed her family about the traumatic assault. Following this, her parents lodged a complaint at the Udupi women’s police station.

Police arrested Poojary again and produced him before the court. He has since been remanded to judicial custody.
