36-year-old Mohammed Iqbal, a resident of Kavoor-Shantinagar here, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city after the brutal assault of April 19.

According to Mr Iqbal, the cops are trying to falsely implicate him in a murder conspiracy case and forcing him to confess to a crime he did not commit.

“A month ago police had visited my house to question me in connection with a murder conspiracy case. It was a shock for me as I knew nothing about the case. I really do not know who hatched the murder conspiracy and who the target was,” he said.

“Police have already arrested two persons in connection with the case. When I came to know that they are trying to arrest two more persons including me, I decided to apply for an anticipatory bail,” he said.

He said that on April 19, he had gone to Kavoor police station to submit the copy of the anticipatory bail. “They confined me in the station from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the name of interrogation. Later they handed me over to the City Crime Branch sleuths, who brutally tortured me,” he said.

Mr Iqbal said that CCB inspector Valentine D'Souza, constables Sunil, Is'haq, Chanrahas and five others gave him unbearable physical torture, even though they were aware that he had secured a bail.

“They made me to stand semi-naked and then inhumanly thrashed and kicked me repeatedly. My hands, legs and private parts were severely injured. Now I can't even walk properly,” he said.

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.

Davanagere, Jul 4: Referring to allegations made by former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's charge about corruption while purchasing COVID-19 equipment, Health Minister B Sriramulu said the state government is ready for any kind of probe in this regard.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, he said the government has maintained accounts for each purchase of equipment related to Covid-19. 

"So, Congress leader's allegations are far from the truth. Siddaramaiah has vast political experience. It is unbecoming of such a leader to make ridiculous allegations. The government is ready to release white paper on purchase of equipment related to Covid-19," he said.

He said Karnataka stands third in the country in collection of throat swabs and examination of people related to Covid-19. The entire country has hailed Karnataka's role in containing Covid-19, Sriramulu he added.
