Revenge killing: Murder accused stabbed to death within 24-hours

February 6, 2012

Mangalore, February 6: In an apparent revenge killing, a 20-year-old youth was stabbed to death and thrown in a thorn bush near Janthabettu on the outskirts of the city.

The victim has been identified as Hemanth, who was the main accused in the murder case of Manikantha alias Mani. Manikantha was stabbed to death by a group of miscreants in the wee hours of Sunday following a clash in the Nemotsava at MRPL Colony at Chelyaru near Suratkal.

Though Suratkal Police had successfully nabbed eight people in connection with the Mani murder case by Sunday afternoon, they could not trace Hemanth, who was considered to be the main accused.

It is learnt that though Hemanth evaded the arrest, he could not escape from the hands of miscreants, who were longing to take revenge for the murder of Mani.

The incident came to light on Monday morning, when local people informed the police about a dead body with stab injuries on its neck, chest and stomach.

Police are of the suspicion that at least four persons might have involved in the revenge killing, including a relative of Mani.

A case has been registered and investigations are on.

‘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.
