Four Sentenced to Life for 2014 Murder of Mogaveera Mahasabha President
A Mangaluru court sentenced four men—Satish Baikampady, Pushparaj, Harish Baikampady, and Bhaskar Baikampady—to life imprisonment for the 2014 murder of Gangadhara Pangala, president of the Baikampady Mogaveera Mahasabha. The accused, who held a grudge over suspensions linked to alleged fund misappropriation, conspired to kill Pangala by ramming his scooter with a vehicle. They were also fined and ordered to pay compensation to the victim's daughters. Vehicles involved were confiscated, and sentences for evidence tampering were imposed concurrently.
