Kasargod, October 25: Nafeesa Hajumma, a 67-year-old woman, died of heart attack after she was told that gangsters had abducted her son Mohammed Bevi, 43, a textile shop owner of Cherkala town in Bevinja, around 10:00 pm on Monday.

The women suffered heart attack on hearing the news and fell on the ground. Although she was rushed to

the E K Nayanar Cooperative Hospital in Chengala, doctors pronounced her dead around 10:30pm.

Mohammed Bevi was returning home in his car with Jaleel, his sales man, after closing his shop around 9pm when a five member gang who were following him in another car blocked his vehicle and abducted him near his house in Berka.

Police said that the gangsters who blocked the vehicle dragged him from the car after pointing a knife at Jaleel who later managed to escape.

Jaleel informed the police and the local people about the abduction. Though the police blocked all the possible escape routes of the assailants, they could not locate them.

However, the gang dropped him in Kunia after taking him to several places throughout the night.

The police have taken two gangsters into custody in connection with the incident. Mohammed Bevi was abducted as part of a gang war between liquor smugglers, said the police.

‘Nothing for Karnataka’: DKS slams Union Budget, flags Bengaluru neglect

News Network

February 1,2026

Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Sunday criticised the Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, claiming it offered no tangible benefit to the state.

Though he said he was yet to study the budget in detail, Shivakumar asserted that Karnataka had gained little from it. “There is no benefit for our state from the central budget. I was observing it. They have now named a programme after Mahatma Gandhi, after repealing the MGNREGA Act that was named after him,” he said.

Speaking to reporters here, the Deputy Chief Minister demanded the restoration of MGNREGA, and made it clear that the newly enacted rural employment scheme — VB-G RAM G — which proposes a 60:40 fund-sharing formula between the Centre and the states, would not be implemented in Karnataka.

“I don’t see any major share for our state in this budget,” he added.

Shivakumar, who also holds charge of Bengaluru development, said there were high expectations for the city from the Union Budget. “The Prime Minister calls Bengaluru a ‘global city’, but what has the Centre done for it?” he asked.

He also drew attention to the problems faced by sugar factories, particularly those in the cooperative sector, alleging a lack of timely decisions and support from the central government.

Noting that the Centre has the authority to fix the minimum support price (MSP) for agricultural produce, Shivakumar said the Union government must take concrete steps to protect farmers’ interests.
