Kasaragod, Oct 9: The district police have managed to arrest a 39-year-old man in connection with throwing stones on a Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus at Perwad, near Kumbla, late on Friday, grievously injuring the driver.

On being alerted by the Special Branch, the police rounded up Abdul Salam, a resident of Mavinakatta, near Kumbla, who confessed to have committed the crime for ‘time-pass’, Kumbla police sub-inspector J.K. Jayashankar said.

The man, who was charged under the provisions of Prevention of Damage to Public Property (PDPP) Act and IPC Section 308 (culpable homicide), was being produced at a court here later on Sunday, he added.

Meanwhile, E. Sasidharan, the driver who hails from Kozhikode, was admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru with complaints of heavy bleeding after his wrist veins got ruptured by the stone.

A passenger of the bus, plying on the Mangaluru-Kasaragod route, also sustained minor injuries. Mr. Sasidharan, who was admitted to the hospital in a critical condition owing to excessive bleeding, was said to be out of danger.

The police continue to remain clueless over the motive behind the attack on Friday night, a senior police official said.

Kozhikode, Feb 28: Nearly 200 Umrah pilgrims from Kerala were deboarded from their flights to Saudi Arabia from Calicut international Airport here on Thursday after the gulf nation enforced a temporary ban on foreigners seeking to visit the holy cities of Makkah and Madina, following coronavirus scare.

Saudi Arabia halted travel to the holiest sites in Islam over fears about a viral epidemic just months ahead of the annual hajj pilgrimage, a move that came as the Mideast has over 240 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus.

According to Airports Authority of India officials, as many as 84 of passengers from the Saudi Airlines and 104 from the Spice Jet Airlines were denied permission to board the flights and travel to Saudi Arabia.

However, other passengers bound to Jeddah were permitted to fly, they said.

A private tour operator here said two batches of 40 pilgrims each were denied permission to travel to Makkah to perform Umrah on February 27.

Umrah is an Islamic pilgrimage that can be performed at any time of year.

"The pilgrims were denied entry by the two airlines, Spice Jet scheduled at 05.30 hrs and Saudi Airlines at 1130 hrs," Naiful Akbar, a travel agent said.

The Airport Authority of India sources said, "the passengers were asked to alight by the Spice Jet airline staff following an instruction received by them."
