Palakkad, Feb 28: Five persons have been arrested by the Mannarkad police in Kerala’s Palakkad district in connection with the murder of the Safeer, who was an activist of Youth League, the youth wing of the Indian Union Muslin League (IUML).

22-year-old Safeer, a native of Kunthippuzha, was stabbed to death by the assailants who barged into his textiles shop last Sunday night. He is the son of Siraj, a municipal councilor.

The arrested were identified as Abdul Basheer alias Podi Basheer, 24, of Kunthipuzha, Mohammed Sharjin, 20, Kottopadam, Raashid, 24, Mohammed Subhan, 20, Ajeesh P. alias Appukuttan, 24. All of them are said to be the workers of Communist Party of India (CPI), the second largest ally of the state's ruling front. Personal grudge led to the murder, the police said.

The assailants, all hailing from Nambiyankunnu near Kunthippuzha, came by an auto-rickshaw. They also had links with some criminal gangs, the police said.

Meanwhile, widespread violence was reported from various part of Palakkad in the hartal called by the IUML in Mannarkkad area to protest against the murder.

The protesters blocked roads on the stretch between Kozhikode and Palakkad. They destroyed windows of cars and attacked some journalists. Tension prevailed in Mannarkkad-Kalladikode areas even as the police stood mute witness to the violence.

Interesting fact is while classifying terrorists and criminals on the basis of  their religion, Most of them are Muslims. I dont know why, but still they will address them as peace lovers and their religion is peaceful one

Inna lillah.  I could not understand why Muslim youths are following Shaitaan and making their way to Jahannum.  Will they be able to return the life of the youth?  Why are they blind?   why cant live and let leave other peacefully.   No political party will come to your help when you need it.   Political party will use you for the benefit only.   May Allah bless the deceased with magfirah and bless with right way of thinking to the youths who are running away from right path.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

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.
