Mangaluru, Dec 13: A final year MBBS student of Yenepoya Medical College was found dead in his flat at Kadri in the city on Tuesday. It is believed that he had died five days ago as the body was in highly a decomposed state.

The student identified as Mohammed Hamdan Rashid (29) hailing from Hazratganj, Lucknow, reportedly paid his college fees on Friday and came back to his Kasturi Mansion apartment in Kadri and never came out. The cause of death is being said to be asthma.

However, his death is said to have taken place without anyone's notice. Speaking to Coastaldigest.com, Saif, a social worker handling the post-death affairs of the student's body, said that it was only after five days that the locals broke open his flat door when the foul smell emanating from his dead body became unbearable.

The post mortem of the body was conducted at Government Wenlock Hospital. Later, body was taken to Zeenath Baksh Masjid the city for burial. The body has decomposed badly and it is not possible to send it to Lucknow, Mr. Saif said. The deceased's family has arrived from Lucknow, he added.

The activist and other students gathered at the morgue accused the college of not taking care of the post-death affairs of the body and engaging in correspondence with the deceased student's family.

Kadri police are investigating the matter.

Will end Karnataka leadership confusion after talks with top leaders: Kharge

November 27,2025

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday announced that he will convene a high-level meeting in New Delhi with senior leaders — including Rahul Gandhi, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar — to resolve the escalating leadership turmoil in Karnataka and “put an end to the confusion.”

Kharge said the discussions would focus on the way forward for the ruling party, as rumours of a possible leadership change continue to swirl. The speculation has intensified after the Congress government crossed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, reviving talk of an alleged 2023 “power-sharing agreement” between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.

“After reaching Delhi, I will call three or four important leaders and hold discussions. Once we talk, we will decide how to move ahead and end this confusion,” Kharge told reporters in Bengaluru, according to PTI.

When asked specifically about calling Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar to Delhi, he responded: “Certainly, we should call them. We will discuss with them and settle the issue.”

He confirmed that Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and other senior members would be part of the deliberations. “After discussing with everyone, a decision will be made,” he said.

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah held a separate strategy meeting at his Bengaluru residence with ministers and leaders seen as his close confidants, including G. Parameshwara, Satish Jarkiholi, H.C. Mahadevappa, K. Venkatesh and K.N. Rajanna.
Signalling calm, the Chief Minister told reporters, “Will go to Delhi if the high command calls.”

Shivakumar echoed a similar stance, saying he too would head to the national capital if summoned by the party leadership.
