Kasaragod, Jan 16: A man from Kasaragod district who was arrested by the Delhi police recently for alleged plot to “kill a high profile personality”, is in fact an active leader of Bharatiya Janata Party.

CM Muhatasim alias Tasim alias Taslim, a resident of Chembarika in Kasaragod district, was picked up from Chattamchal by Vidyanagar police on January 11 as per the directions of Delhi police. The next day, Delhi police arrived in Kasaragod and took him to their custody. A case was registered against him under Section 120B IPC.

He was taken to Delhi on January 12 after presenting him in a local court in Kasaragod to get a transit warrant issued. Local media reports claimed that he was arrested for plotting to kill Hindutva leaders. Some Kannada TV channels also claimed that he was arrested for plotting to kill RSS veteran Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat.

However, according to the police here, the details of the charges were not revealed to them and a special team directly controlled by the district police chief helped the police team from Delhi. The only information they got was that the case was registered in Delhi last week and Delhi police reached here immediately.

A few years ago Muhatasim was accused of two passport forgery cases and also two murder attempt cases. For several years, he has been an active leader of minority morcha of the BJP. Following his arrest, Muhatasim’s dozens of photographs with BJP leaders from Kasaragod and Dakshina Kannada are doing rounds on social media platforms.

This storay is planned by Don and Iblees Munir with collaboration of sangh parivar and bjp leaders.   This is only a drama to gain sympathy of hindu voter and defame muslim community.  Actualy this creature Munir is a pet dog of sangh parivar.  He has changed his fatith but following muslim name only to cheat few muslims.   He is acting as agent of sangh parivar.    He is hiring unemployued youths like Tasleem only to fabricate issues like plan to kill hindu leaders.  Actually any hindu leader ever killed was by these name Munirs hired by sangh parivar to get sympathy.     Real muslim will never kill any one unnecessarily.    this creature Munir has already made ghar wapasi and licking slippers of sangh parivar leaders.   Muslims have kicked him out like shit.   Since he is not respecting his own religion how come he will respect others.   He is not following Shaitaan plus Iblees and making them happy.

Udupi, Dec 15: What was meant to be a post-pilgrimage gathering turned tragic in Padukere village of Brahmavar taluk, Udupi district, late Sunday night, when a clash among youths escalated into a fatal assault, leaving one man dead.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Santosh Mogaveera, a resident of Padukere.

According to preliminary information, the incident took place during a late-night drinking party involving a group of local youths who had recently returned after completing their pilgrimage to the Sabarimala shrine. An argument reportedly broke out among the group and soon escalated into a violent confrontation.

During the ensuing brawl, Santosh Mogaveera was allegedly assaulted and collapsed at the spot after sustaining serious injuries. He was rushed by local residents to a private hospital in Brahmavar, where doctors declared him dead.

On receiving information, senior police officials, including Brahmavar Circle Inspector Gopikrishna, Kota Police Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar T, Station ASI Manthesh Jabagoudar, and head constables Pradeep and Ashok, visited the spot and conducted an inspection.

Police have taken four youths into custody in connection with the incident. A case has been registered at the Kota police station, and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events leading to the death.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
