Newton's third law states that - for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Whatever he did, he got back the same.

Killers might know him well. RIP

Our cops are not so efficient. They are investigating only after murder. They are not doing precautions well

A small correction in top cops' words (recenlty top cop said ablout media negativity) - "Mangaluru WAS peaceful city. and Not only media, people are also so negative."

Murders increasing. Cops should act immediately

If he was a rowday/suspect also murder cant justify.

People dont have the value for animal. Shocking murder.

Shocking!!!

What is happening in Mangaluru. Seems like someone has taken the oath of cleaning Managaluru from Rowdies. Is anyone has seen SHAHENSHA there?

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.
