Published: May 04 2025, 11 pmeznews.inIn Mangaluru, Karnataka, Suhas Shetty, a murder-accused linked to local right-wing groups, was killed by contract killers on Friday, allegedly hired by the family of one of his victims. The attack, which occurred on a busy road and was captured on CCTV, involved five assailants armed with machetes and swords. Investigations revealed that two arrested men claimed they were paid Rs 3 lakh and Rs 2 lakh, respectively, to execute the killing, reportedly funded by the family of Mohammed Fazil, who was murdered in 2022—a crime believed to be a retaliation for the assassination of BJP youth worker Praveen Nettaru, for which Shetty was the prime suspect. Questions have arisen regarding whether compensation funds provided to Fazil's family, including Rs 30 lakh from the Muslim Central Committee and Rs 25 lakh from the Congress government, were misused for this murder. In response to the violence, police imposed prohibitory orders in Mangaluru.

Employees can make three types of withdrawals: final settlement, partial withdrawal, and pension withdrawal. While employed, individuals cannot access their funds; however, those unemployed for at least one month can withdraw 75% of their savings, increasing to 100% after two months. For education, up to 50% of the employee's contribution can be withdrawn, while 90% is accessible for housing purchases or construction. Withdrawals for marriage expenses allow up to 50% of savings.

Upon retirement at 58, members can claim their final settlement, and withdrawals initiated within five years may incur taxes, although amounts under Rs 50,000 are exempt from TDS.

Published: May 04 2025, 7 pmeznews.inA three-year-old girl, Viyana Jain, died in Indore after being administered the Jain ritual of _Santhara_, a voluntary fasting unto death, with her parents' consent. Viyana, diagnosed with a brain tumor last December, underwent surgery and treatment but ultimately the family sought spiritual guidance. During a visit to Jain monk Rajesh Muni Maharaj on March 21, she took the _Santhara_ vow and died shortly thereafter. This ancient practice, which involves abstaining from food and water, is intended for individuals facing extreme conditions like incurable illness or old age, according to Jain scriptures. While _Santhara_ is a revered tradition, it has faced legal scrutiny; a 2015 Rajasthan High Court ruling deemed it illegal, equating it to suicide. However, following protests from the Jain community, the Supreme Court later allowed the practice to continue under the umbrella of religious freedom.
