Eight held for murder of Hindutva activist Suhas Shetty; police say personal rivalry led to crime
MANGALURU: Eight persons have been arrested for the murder of Hindutva activist and rowdy sheeter Suhas Shetty, who was accused in a 2022 murder case. The accused have been identified as Abdul Safwan, Niyaz, Mohammed Muzamil, Kalander Shah, Adil Mehroof, Nagaraj, Mohammed Rizwan and Ranjit. While Nagaraj and Ranjit are from Kalasa in Chikkamagaluru district, the others are from Shanthigudde near Mangaluru. Debunking widely circulated claims that the murder was carried out to avenge the recent lynching of a 36-year-old Muslim youth, allegedly by RSS and Bajrang Dal workers, Mangaluru City police commissioner Anupam Agrawal said Shetty was killed as revenge for a 2022 murder that took place in Suratkal. The commissioner also said the investigation so far has not pointed fingers at the banned organisation, Popular Front of India (PFI). According to the police, Shetty's murder was plotted by Adil Mehroof, who is the brother of Mohammed Fazil, who was allegedly killed by Suhas Shetty in 2022. Mehroof, along with another accused, Abdul Safwan, hatched the plot to murder Shetty. While Mehroof wanted to avenge the murder of his brother, Safwan's motive stemmed from his fear of being murdered by Shetty, after his friends, Prashant and Dhanraj,had earlier attempted to attack him. Safwan discussed the matter with Muzamil and Niyaz and later got in touch with Mehroof. As their intentions matched, they decided to collaborate, the police said. Mehroof also agreed to pay Rs 5 lakh to those who assist them in the crime and gave Rs 3 lakh in advance to the co-accused. A team was formed to execute the crime which involved Safwan, Muzamil, Shafi Niyaz and his two friends Nagaraj and Ranjit. About a fortnight before the crime, Nagaraj and Ranjit arrived in Mangaluru from Kalasa and stayed at Safwan's house. They hired two vehicles to carry out the murder and after committing the crime, went into hiding at a place between Bajpe and Moodbidre. Police said another two persons who provided information and logistical support to the accused are at large and will be arrested soon According to the police, the group had previously attempted to execute their plan twice, but could not succeed. The police also said they will question two women, who were seen at the crime spot during the murder and are believed to be the relatives of one of the accused.

On Kerala HCs directive, CBI registers its first cybercrime case in the State
KOCHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered its first cybercrime case in Kerala, in which an elderly man lost Rs 1.04 crore to scammers. The case, initially registered at the Thrissur cybercrime police station, was transferred to the CBI on a directive of the Kerala High Court in March. CBIs special crime branch has re-registered the FIR with the Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate Court and commenced the probe. According to officers, the case involves a 75-year-old businessman from Thrissur who was targeted by cybercriminals last July. On July 20, 2024, the victim received a phone call from an unknown number. The caller introduced himself as Ajay Kumar of FedEx couriers, Mumbai, and claimed that a parcel booked in the victims name, destined for Russia, had been intercepted by customs for the presence of drugs. The call was then transferred to another individual posing as an officer with the cybercrime department of Mumbai police. This person told the victim that his bank account had to be verified as part of the investigation. The businessman was instructed to transfer his entire bank balance into an account provided by fraudsters. Between July 22 and 24, the victim transferred Rs 1.04 crore. It was only the following day that he realised he had been defrauded and reported the incident to police. The case was handed over to the CBI due to the interstate nature of the crime and the involvement of multiple bank accounts across the country, a CBI officer said. The case had initially been investigated by an assistant commissioner of police with the crime branch, Thrissur City. However, jurisdictional limitations were hindering effective investigation, prompting the court to entrust the case to us. CBI officers confirmed that several bank accounts to which the money was routed had been identified. We have just begun the investigation and are in the process of collecting case files and evidence from local police. The money trail has been mapped by police, and we will interrogate account holders in the coming weeks. Our branches in other states will also assist in tracking leads across India, the officer added. The case has been registered under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, which deals with cheating by impersonation using electronic communication. This is the first cybercrime case to be probed by CBI in Kerala.

K Kavitha calls for 'Samajika Telangana' to eliminate inequalities; vows action for social justice
HYDERABAD: BRS MLC K Kavitha on Thursday said that though a separate geographical Telangana state was achieved, social justice (samajika Telangana) was not delivered to the people. Addressing the gathering during the May Day celebrations organised at her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad, Kavitha called for elimination of inequality in Telangana society. During the BRS regime, Rs 10,000 per acre assistance was provided to farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme. If a farmer had 10 acres, he used to get Rs 1 lakh. But we failed to deliver justice to agriculture labourers who had no land, she said. The BRS leader also spoke about difference in per capita income of neighbouring districts of Rangareddy and Vikarabad. Rangareddy districts per capita income is Rs 8 lakh. Just 10 km away in Vikarabad, the per capita income is just Rs 1.5 lakh. This is a dangerous sign. There is a need to eliminate this inequality in the spirit of May Day, she said. Kavitha said that she will initiate steps for achieving samajika Telangana and to eliminate inequalities in the state.

Marriage doesnt absolve man from Pocso crime: Madras High Court
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has reversed a special courts order acquitting a man accused in a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, holding that marriage with the victim and leading a happy life cannot be a ground for acquittal. Justice P Velmurugan, while reversing the acquittal order passed by the special court for Pocso Act cases in the Nilgiris, sentenced the man to 10 years of simple imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1,000. He said, The offence under the Pocso Act is not against individual and it is against the society. Hence, the subsequent marriage between the accused and the victim will not take away the offence committed by the accused when the victim girl was a child. Further, the judge remarked that if the defence of subsequent marriage or elopement is accepted as a ground for acquittal, then the purpose of enactment of the Pocso Act would get defeated; and also will lead to disastrous consequences. The man was charged with sections 343, and 363 of IPC for abduction and wrongful confinement and section 5 (1) r/w 6 of Pocso Act for penetrative sexual assault of the 17-year-old victim girl. On November 30, 2022, the special court acquitted him in the Pocso Act case but punished him with one year imprisonment for the offences under the IPC. He filed a petition in the high court to quash the order of punishment, while the prosecution filed an appeal against the acquittal. The man submitted that he and the girl were in love and when her parents arranged her marriage with another person, in 2020, they left the neighbourhood and stayed at a relatives house in Mysore. Based on a complaint lodged by her father, the police registered a case and secured the girl. Subsequently, they slapped the charges under IPC and Pocso against him and arrested him. During the pendency of trial, they both got married and made submissions regarding this in the trial court.

Kochi auto driver turns crime fighter, outsmarts thief & ganja peddler
In a remarkable instance of police-public coordination, a 47-year-old auto-rickshaw driver from Aluva helped the police nab a history-sheeter wanted in multiple theft cases. For Sudheer Buhari, a resident of Uliyanoor near Aluva, March 27 turned out to be an unforgettable day. Sudheer, who starts his day as early as 5am, was beginning his routine when a man stopped his rickshaw near Bridge Road and requested help to transport scrap items from beneath the Aluva flyover to a nearby scrap shop. It was my first ride of the day, so I agreed, Sudheer recalls. However, upon reaching the location, Sudheer noticed that the supposed scrap items two air conditioner units and a heavy motor looked unusually new. The sacks were covering the goods, and once I opened them, I became suspicious. The AC units and motor were in good condition, and the man claimed they were purchased from a friend for `1,200, Sudheer says. To confirm his suspicion, Sudheer attempted to gauge the mans reaction by quoting a high transportation charge. The man agreed without hesitation. That was a red flag. I decided to lead him straight to the police, he says. Sudheer cleverly told the man that he knew a scrap dealer in Edathala who could offer at least `20,000 for the items. Enticed by the price, the man agreed. Even though the police station was nearby, I took longer inner routes to avoid suspicion and kept him distracted with conversation. I drove the auto-rickshaw from the flyover to Hospitalpaddy, BSNL Junction and public ground. I monitored him closely through the rear-view mirror. He could harm me if he realised that we were heading to the police station, explains Sudheer. Just metres before the Aluva police station, Sudheer accelerated and drove the auto straight into the station compound. I slammed the brake, grabbed his hand, and shouted for help. Police officers rushed out, and I explained the entire situation. They took him into custody immediately. A few hours later, Sudheer received a call confirming that the man was a history-sheeter involved in multiple thefts. The arrested person was Suresh Kumar from Tamil Nadu. He was wanted in several theft cases in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. He was behind the robbery reported at a hospital in Aluva. A case is pending against him at Vadakara. That was when I breathed a sigh of relief. The police were courteous and regularly contacted me for follow-up information. Impressed by Sudheers quick thinking and bravery, Ernakulam Rural Police Chief Vaibhav Saxena honoured him with a certificate of appreciation in a special function held at the District Police Chiefs office. It was a proud moment. Ive been part of a voluntary scuba diving team involved in rescue missions, but this recognition felt different, Sudheer said, adding that he is not afraid of retaliation. Sudheers heroism didnt end there. Weeks later, he helped the police catch a ganja peddler and later assisted in the arrest of a mobile phone thief in Aluva. As an auto driver, I meet many people. Some are involved in criminal activities. If we act responsibly, we can make our society safer, he says.
