Within minutes, Singh and a group of around 25 armymen returned and began an argument with Krishnamurthy for peanalising an armyman. In the melee, Singh slapped Krishnamurthy who sent a wireless message seeking assistance. Cops rushed to the spot, bundled up Singh in Hoysala vehicle and took him to the Commercial Street police station, said the police. Other armymen went back only to return with more men and assault Sudheendra. Upon receiving the information, senior police officers rushed to the spot and dispersed the armymen. They also informed the army higher-ups who rushed to the spot.

One of the armymen was a commissioned officer, but he did not stop others from assaulting a cop on duty. The army higher-ups have assured action from their end for attacking a public servant on duty. A case has been registered with Commercial Street police.

Kasaragod, Apr 29: Kasaragod's General Hospital on Tuesday discharged the last of its 89 COVID-19 patients, who were admitted since the outbreak of the disease last month.

The patient discharged on Tuesday is a native of Anankur in Kerala. He was under treatment for 27 days following his return from Dubai. He was given a warm send-off at 12 noon by the doctors and hospital staff.

Of the 175 positive cases in Kasaragod district, only 12 are under treatment in other hospitals in the district now. Of them, seven had come from the Gulf and the remaining five were those in contact with them.

During a press meet, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, while referring the Kasaragod General Hospital's success story, congratulated the doctors, nurses and medical staff for the achievement.

According to Health Department, in spite of treating the highest number of COVID-19 patients in the state with meagre infrastructural facilities and even without the support of a medical college in the district, there have been no deaths.

According to the district administration, Kasaragod has conducted 4,112 tests so far, out of which 3,104 tested negative and the results of 833 are awaited.

The team of doctors, nurses and other staff numbering 250 is led by Dr Rajaram K Kandiyil, Superintendent of the Kasaragod General Hospital.
