By Parmesh Jain

“Gangster Lakshmana, accused of murder, attempted murder, abduction, and land grabbing, was killed by a gang of 5 men”.

A notorious rowdy-sheeter was brutally murdered in a clash between two gangs, just two days after he was released from jail.
Rowdy-sheeter Laxmana was murdered in front of an apartment near ISKCON temple on Rajkumar Road.
In a broad day light Rowdy Sheeter Lakshmana alias Rama Lakshmana was brutally murdered in Bengaluru on Thursday afternoon near Mysore Sandal Soap Factory by a gang of five men who attacked him with Sharp lethal weapons after spraying chilli powder on him.
The deceased has been identified as Lakshmana alias Rama Lakshmana aged about 38 year old a renowned Rowdy Sheeter of Kengeri Police station limits.
Senior police officer told media persons that,In the mid 2000s, twin brothers Rama and Lakshmana, natives of Kunigal town in Tumakuru, began their criminal activities in Bengaluru and within a few years were on the Bengaluru Police’s list of Class A criminals.The twins, who associated themselves with the local gangsters of Magadi Road and Kamakshipalya in Bengaluru, shot to infamy in the city’s underworld due to their involvement in land grabbing activities. several murder cases in which Lakshmana has been involved, the twin brothers shot to infamy after the brutal murder of a rival gangster Machcha Manja in 2005.Machcha Manja,who was returning home after distributing his wedding invitation was chased by Rama and Lakshmana along with 40 others and hacked to death in Bengaluru’s Yelahanka. At the time,another gangster associated with the twin brothers,Koti Rama, was also arrested in connection with the case. Lakshmana was out on bail,while Koti Rama remained in the Chitradurga prison as he was accused of contracting the murder of a local politician in Mysuru.Koti Rama and Lakshmana became rivals during this period simply because Lakshmana was not sending Koti Rama money while he was in prison.Once Lakshmana was out of prison in 2005,he allegedly affiliated himself with other gangsters,who were rivals of Koti Rama and another of his former associate Slum Bharata.

Koti Rama and Slum Bharat are currently being suspected of Lakshmana’s murder.The brothers had affiliated themselves with local gangsters in the area and became the point-men for big time dons to hire them to extort and grab land from people across Bengaluru.These guys have been involved in grabbing land since the late 1990s.They kept shifting their loyalties to various dons in the city and they were also encouraged by their family members in Kunigal to get involved in the city’s underworld.They were known for blackmailing people into selling them the land.The brothers would threaten people take away their original property documents and force the victims to sign the sale deed,which they drafted to suit their needs.They have several murder cases registered against them across police stations in the city.In 2013, the CCB’s Organised Crime Wing arrested Lakshmana’s brother Rama after they raided the Jnanabharathi campus.Rama was arrested for the attempt to murder of his rival gangster Cycle Ravi.The twins kept shifting bases from Kunigal to Kamakshipalya, making it difficult for the police to arrest them.Last year, the police arrested notorious land shark Mirle Varadaraj and booked him for illegally grabbing land worth Rs 500 crore.Upon his arrest in December last year,the police learnt that gangster Lakshmana was the enforcer. “When Mirle Varadaraj wanted to grab land, it was Lakshmana who would do all the dirty work. Lakshmana would approach parties interested in selling properties by posing as a real estate agent. He would take the original documents from the victims and never return it.He would then threaten them and get the properties transferred to Mirle’s name.If a landowner decided to go ahead with any kind of construction, Lakshmana would bring his henchmen and demolish the structures. He would also resort to brutal assault to threaten the victims.In December 2018, the police arrested Lakshmana after a family from Jagajyothi Layout in Bengaluru complained to the police that Lakshmana had illegally occupied their house for two years and was refusing to vacate. He was released on bail only a week ago.Lakshmana has been a rowdy-sheeter for two decades now.He had also affiliated himself to a few political leaders recently. These rowdy sheeters come in and out of prison. Many of them hatch conspiracies to commit murders, thefts and abductions while they are in prison.Rivalries between rowdies are common.They convert their plans into action once they come out of jail either on bail or on parole.He succumbed to injuries while he was being taken to the hospital by the locals.Mahalaxmi Layout police with other neighbouring Station Police inspectors with other senior official and staff rushed to spot and cordoned the crime scene and we have registered a case and are investigating the murder and special teams has been formed by DCP North,Shashi Kumar and we will solve the murder case soon he added.

DCP North,Shashi Kumar,who immediately rushed to the spot after the incident took place after inspecting the spot and collecting all the information about the Rowdy Sheeter Lakshmana alias Rama Lakshmana he told media persons that,We have been informed that between 12.45 pm to 1 pm in Mahalakshmi Layout a dreaded rowdy sheeter Lakshmana has been murdered going by the injuries on his body he was murdered using sharp weapons Lakshman was stopped and attacked by group of men who were in Scorpio Car.We have received a complaint from the family and will catch hold of the culprits as soon as possible special teams have been formed to nab the culprits and the case will be solved soon An investigation into the matter is underway he added.
Lakshman was released from prison just two days ago after a police raid at his residence led to the discovery of incriminating documents and unaccounted cash. Lakshman, along with his brother Rama were declared notorious criminals by the Kengeri police station and had several cases against them.The brutal murder in broad daylight has raised serious questions at the law and order situation in Bengaluru.

‘Match-fixing between PM, Pak’: Cong’s BK Hariprasad

by

Congress parliamentarian from Karnataka, BK Hariprasad has stirred a controversy with his “match-fixing” comments on the Pulwama attack while attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“(Union Minister) Ravi Shankar Prasad should clarify whether there is any match-fixing between Pakistan and Narendra Modi. Without their knowledge this Pulwama incident should not have taken place. If you look at the chain of events that has taken place after Pulwama, it looks like Narendra Modi had a match-fixing with the people of Pakistan,” Hariprasad said.

Hariprasad’s comment came two days after another Congress leader, Digvijaya Singh termed Pulwama attack as an “accident”.

“The government of Jammu and Kashmir has openly admitted that it’s a total failure of intelligence that has resulted in Pulwama. They can detect beef in… Kerala House but they can’t detect RDX on a sensitive National Highway. It shows it’s a total failure of Narendra Modi’s government,” said Hariprasad, while criticising the Modi government.

Karnataka BJP general secretary N Ravikumar said Hariprasad’s comments were “highly condemnable and irresponsible”.

“He should be ashamed of making such statements. Where had he mortgaged his brain before making such a statement?” Ravikumar said.

This is not the first time Hariprasad gave a controversial comment. Earlier, in January he mocked Amit Shah when the BJP president was admitted to AIIMS in Delhi for swine flu treatment. He said Shah got flu because he tried to destabilise the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka.

Nasheman News : The Supreme Court on Friday ordered mediation to settle the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid Ayodhya title dispute case by a three-member panel.

The panel will be headed by former Supreme Court judge Justice F.M.I. Kalifulla with Art of Living founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and senior advocate Shriram Panchu as its members. 

Ordering the mediation, the five-judge constitution bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice S.A. Bobde, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice S. Abdul Nazeer barred both the print and visual media from reporting on the mediation proceedings.

It also barred those participating in the proceedings from speaking to the media.

The mediation proceedings would be held at Faizabad and would commence in a week. 

The order pronounced by Chief Justice Gogoi did not pass any specific guidelines, leaving it to the mediators to take a call, and said that mediators could take any legal assistance that may be necessary. 

The court has ordered the mediation to use the time available before the regular hearing of the matter during which all the parties to the dispute have been asked to complete the paper work relating to the dispute.


Pakistan detains 121 people from terror outfits, takes control of 182 madrasas

by

Imran Khan

Pakistan on Thursday claimed that it has taken control of 182 seminaries and detained more than 100 people in a crackdown on banned terrorist organisations.

“Law enforcement agencies have taken 121 people under preventive detention as of today,” the ministry said in a statement,” the interior ministry said in a statement. 

The religious schools, hospitals and ambulances of the terror outfits were also placed under the control of the Pakistan government.

Islamabad’s move comes amid growing international pressure in the wake of a bombing in Pulwama by Jaish-e-Mohammed, a terrorist group based in Pakistan.

New Delhi on Tuesday expressed skepticism over reports that Pakistan was cracking down on terrorist outfits and that Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar’s brother Mufti Abdul Rauf was among 44 members of banned outfits who were taken into ‘preventive detention.’

A day after promulgating a law which apparently allowed the government to take over all assets of banned outfits operating in the country, the Pakistan government said, “It was decided to speed up action against all proscribed organisations, and in compliance, 44 under-observation members of proscribed organisations, including Mufti Abdul Rauf and Hammad Azhar, have been taken in preventive detention for investigation.”

Minister of State for the Interior Sheryar Khan Afridi was quoted as saying that the names of Mufti Abdul Rauf and Hammad Azhar were mentioned in a dossier shared by India last week.

However, describing Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s repeated claims that Pakistan would not allow terrorists to operate from its soil as “old wine in a new bottle,” Indian sources said, “These are words we have heard several times. We have exactly the same statement by President Pervez Musharraf in January 2004. Our effort now will be to see demonstrable action. Pakistan is trying to divert attention from our concern over terrorism to their concern over a so-called threat from India.”

A source further warned that “all options were on the table” in case of another terrorist attack.

“If there is a naya Pakistan with a naya soch, we expect to see action on the ground. There is still a discrepancy between what they are saying and doing. Mere statements from various sources saying that the Pakistan army has done its bit and that the civilian government has not is not enough,” the source added.

For instance, “there was the strange phenomenon yesterday of the Pakistan ambassador to the US, while talking at the Institute for Peace,  claiming that there is no organized terror group in Pakistan. This is at variance with their own listings, starting with the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and going down, of terror groups in Pakistan.”

“While we are being told that hard action is being taken against the JuD and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation, all that has been done is that they are only on the watchlist. The objective of the Pakistan government is to pretend to the international community that it is taking steps,” the source said.

The source contended that “Pakistan is trying to deflect attention by issuing various statements suggesting that India still continues to threaten Pakistan militarily.”

Missing Indian-origin woman’s body found in suitcase in Australia

by

Nasheman News :  A 32-year-old dentist of Indian origin in Australia, who went missing earlier this week, has been murdered and her body was found dumped in a suitcase in her abandoned car, the police said.

Preethi Reddy, 32, was reported missing by her family on Sunday after she did not come home from a dental convention in St. Leonards, a suburb of Sydney, CNN affiliate 7 News Australia reported.

According to the police, Reddy was murdered as her body bore several stab wounds. The man who was suspected of killing the woman was her Indian-origin ex-boyfriend and dentist Harsh Narde. Police officials said the man died in a car crash on the New England Highway on Monday night, a day after Reddy was reported missing.

They say that the head-on collision, which occurred around 340 km from where Reddy’s body was found, was a “deliberate act.” According to the police, they spoke to Narde as part of the missing persons investigation before his death.

“I cannot qualify exactly what has happened and I won’t put it out there because if we’re wrong and it’s not substantiated then we’re doing a disservice to Preethi and her family,” Detective Superintendent Gavin Dengate told ABC News.

“At this stage we know they met up in Sydney and now we’re looking at all the movements between these two,” the officer said.

Preethi was captured on CCTV inside McDonald’s at the Strand Arcade in central Sydney about 2.15 a.m. on Sunday and appeared to leave alone.

On Tuesday, the police located her car parked on a street in Kingsford, south of the city centre. A search of the vehicle located Reddy’s body in a suitcase. She had been stabbed “numerous times,” they said.

“Further inquiries have established that Preethi (Reddy) stayed at a hotel on Market Street, Sydney CBD, on Sunday with a man known to her,” the police said.

Reddy was attending a dental conference in St. Leonards and last spoke to her family at around 11 a.m. on Sunday, saying she planned to head home after having a late breakfast, according to the police.

Glenbrook Dental Surgery, where Reddy had worked and which had been appealing for information about her disappearance, said staff were “in mourning” after news of her death.

Numerous patients of Reddy posted messages of condolences for her family on the surgery’s Facebook page.

One killed, 30 injured in Jammu grenade attack

by

Nasheman News : One person was killed and 30 others were injured on Thursday when a grenade rolled under a packed parked bus in Jammu’s main bus stand by a militant exploded with a thunderous explosion, police said.

The incident occurred around 11.30 a.m. when the General Bus Stand, as it is known, was teeming with people.

Inspector General of Police Manish Kumar Sinha said the grenade rolled under the parked bus that was headed to Uttarakhand.

The explosion also injured passengers in a nearby parked bus which was set to leave for Amritsar in Punjab.

One of the badly wounded civilians succumbed to his injuries in a hospital, Sinha said. He has been identified as a 20-year-old man from Uttarakhand.

“Four others have suffered critical injuries,” a police officer said.

The area was cordoned off after the explosion but the militant merged into the crowd and escaped.

Some witnesses said they initially thought the sound had been caused by a tyre burst.

“At first, we thought it was a tyre burst. But when we approached the site, we saw people lying injured and in critical condition,” said Sunil Kumar, 26.

Thursday’s is the third such attack at the Jammu General Bus Stand by militants in the last nine months.


Congress getting high TRPs in Pakistani TVs: Jaitley

by

Nasheman News : Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday lashed out at the Congress and its President Rahul Gandhi for repeatedly raking up the Rafale fighter jet deal and said the questions raised on the issue were meant to divert public attention from the comments made by Congress leaders “against national security”.

“The Congress has in the last few days through statements of its senior leaders boxed itself into a corner in a very difficult situation. They are getting high TRPs in Pakistani TVs. But there is a revulsion as far as domestic opinion in India is concerned,” Jaitley said. 

He was responding to query on Gandhi’s demand that an investigation against Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be carried out for conducting parallel negotiations and delaying the delivery of the Rafale fighter jets to India.

Jaitley said that the government had repeatedly made its position clear on the issue, the Supreme Court had spoken on it and the CAG had already analysed it.

“The petitioners are taking one more chance. No dynast can claim that he is above Supreme Court or CAG and that verdicts and findings don’t apply,” he said.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had demanded that India release evidences of air strike in Pakistan as the US did after killing Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) bombed Pakistan’s Balakot on February 26 in response to the February 14 terror attack in Kashmir which killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force troopers.
