Business tycoon Anand Mahindra is quite popular on social media for creating a buzz with his witty and insightful posts. This time too, he has grabbed eyeballs on the internet for a bizarre screenshot of a portal that issues death certificates. The process of availing a death certificate is not something new. To apply for one - a person needs to visit a government website issuing the same, then register or log in and apply for the certificate. But here, the industrialist’s post is about a webpage asking ‘whether you are applying it for yourself or for someone else’. The post has left social media users confused as to why would a website ask if a person is getting the document (death certificate) for himself.

Could Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Yuva Morcha worker Praveen Nettaru’s death be the fallout of another clash between members of two communities that happened on 19 July? Was he targeted in retaliation for an attack on a local man called Masood in Mangaluru’s Sullia on that day? This is one of the angles that is being investigated by authorities, a senior police official from Mangaluru told News18 on Wednesday. Karnataka’s home minister Araga Jnanendra while speaking to the media also hinted that the state police have widened their search to neighbouring Kerala for the assailants who murdered Praveen on Tuesday night. According to the Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police, Rishikesh Sonawane, three men who allegedly attacked Praveen were seen astride a two-wheeler. “The bike bore a Kerala registration number and the surrounding CCTV camera footage has been collected to further identify the assailants," he said.
