Mangaluru, Jan 15: The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday facilitated the reunion of a Hindu man and a Muslim woman, who were separated by the girl’s father opposing their marriage.

K Shivaraj, a native of Mysuru and DKS Haleema Shaheen of Mangaluru met each other while studying at a college in Mangaluru and fell in love. After studies, the duo wanted to start a business and had even got their business project sanctioned by the Karnataka Udyog Mitra in 2014. They decided to enter the wedlock. After the girl faced stiff resistance from her parents, the duo eloped and exchanged nuptial vows at a temple in Mysuru in May 2015.

The couple applied for registration under Special Marriage Act, 1954. Haleema’s father replied to the notice saying that his daughter is already married. However, it was later learnt that the marriage certificate produced by her father was fake.

In December, 2015, when the couple were riding on a two-wheeler, unidentified persons attacked Shivaraj, and allegedly abducted Haleema. Shivaraj was treated for injuries at the KR Hospital in Mysuru. He lodged a police complaint at the Lakshmipuram police station and later filed habeas corpus petition before the High Court to produce his wife.

When the matter was heard before the court, a division bench comprising Justice Mohan M Shantangoudar and Justice KN Phaneendra questioned Haleema as to where she would like to go, she promptly answered that she would want to go with her husband.

Haleema did mention in the court that her father is good, however, some of the associates of her father were harming her and her husband, and that they were living under constant threat to their lives.

The bench allowed the couple to go back to their house under police protection and disposed of the petition.

Islam teaches us 'A slave Muslim men is better for a Muslim girl than a rich kaafir . Same way a slave Muslim women is better for a Muslim men than a rich kaafira women'

There is no compulsion in religion of islam. We are free to follow any system but final decision with Allah, He will decide who followed his way or who are the loser. May Allah guide us to right path. Ameen

I agree with Fathima's view. It was unfortunate that the girl in the name of love forgot the beauty of Islam.

There are many instances in Mangalore where Muslim girl married a Hindu boy and after a year boy converted to Islam. No wonder if this culminates the same way. Moreover u will find hundreds of famous personalities embracing Islam such as Tony Blair's sister Lauren booth, BBC journalist Yvonne Ridley and so on but u will not find vise versa. Keep hope and prayers and ignore barking kotians.

We as an Indian should be united but look what always we see partitioned. no wonder how easily British invaded India.
I know some of them are happy seeing this news. And i admit it is because of your ignorance you are happy. Almighty has his own concept of human life n death. There are 4 categorised people.
1. Ones who r born muslim and dies as a muslim
2. Ones who r born muslim and dies as a non muslim.
3.Ones born as anon muslim and dies as a non muslim.
4.Ones born as a non muslim and dies as a muslim.
Last category people are the most successful people in this world and hereafter no doubt about it. 2nd category people are the ones destroying their own destiny and lands in great trouble hereafter. No one neither their life-partner nor their parents can save them from torments of hell fire.
May Allah make our death beautiful and grant us to die as a muslim.
May Allah guide her n all of us.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.

Udupi: The pontiffs of Sri Paryaya Puttige Mutt, the sacred seat of Jagadguru Shrimad Madhvacharya Moola Samsthanam, have submitted a proposal to the Prime Minister seeking comprehensive development for Udupi district. 

Proposal for International Airport

A key request is the establishment of an international airport. Highlighting that around 1,000 acres of land are available and suitable, the pontiffs noted that the existing Mangalore Airport provides limited international connectivity. They suggested the airport be developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) or as a Greenfield Airport to boost trade, education, healthcare, and spiritual tourism.

Metro and Rapid Transit Connectivity

The proposal also calls for Metro Rail or Rapid Transit between Mangaluru and Udupi. The 55 km coastal stretch experiences heavy daily commuter traffic, causing congestion. The district administration is ready to prepare an initial project report for a Mass Rapid Transit corridor and requested inclusion under national urban mobility programmes to ensure safe, green, and time-efficient regional transport.

Port and Coastal Development

The pontiffs urged the development of an international-standard port with a cruise terminal along Udupi’s coast. They also requested fast-tracking of pending coastal tourism projects and revising Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms to encourage sustainable infrastructure and hospitality investment.

IT, AI and Technological Infrastructure

Support was sought for an IT and AI Innovation Park with incubation facilities under Digital India and Startup India initiatives. The proposal also emphasized the need for strengthened data security and cloud computing infrastructure to boost India’s technological independence.

Sports and Education Initiatives

The pontiffs requested national sports status for Kambala, along with financial and infrastructure support. They also sought the establishment of an AIIMS in Udupi, a new IIT campus, and approval for an IIM to promote higher education in the district.

Representation to the Prime Minister

Sri Sugunendra Tirtha Pontiff and Sri Sushrendra Tirtha Swamiji represented the pontiffs in submitting the comprehensive development proposal to the Prime Minister during his recent visit.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs. 

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.
