Mangaluru:<\/strong>\u00a0Senior Congress leaders, including AICC General Secretary and Kerala MP K.C. Venugopal, held a meeting with the family of Ashraf, who was killed in a mob lynching in Kudukpu, Mangaluru. The delegation, acting on Venugopal\u2019s directive, discussed legal and financial assistance for the bereaved family.<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by Legislative Council Chairman U.T. Khader, Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, AICC Secretary B.K. Hariprasad, Chief Minister\u2019s Political Secretary Nasir Ahmed, Congress leaders G.A. Bava, and AKM Ashraf, the MLA from Manjeshwar.<\/p>\n

Legal Aid and Compensation Announced<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The leaders resolved to appoint a special public prosecutor to ensure a strong legal fight in the case. Additionally, discussions were held regarding compensation for the family under the Mob Lynching Act.<\/p>\n

In a humanitarian gesture, Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan personally contributed \u20b910 lakh, while U.T. Khader provided \u20b95 lakh to support the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
