Mangaluru, Jan 3: A youth was hacked to death by a gang of miscreants in broad daylight at Katipalla in Mangaluru taluk on Wednesday afternoon.

The victim has been identified as Deepak Rao aka Deepu (32), a resident of Katipalla’s Kaikamba area.

Police said Deepak had worked with private company agency which was owned by a Muslim. Since most of the customers were from minority community, Deepak used frequent areas dominated by them for work. He was fluent in Beary language, spoken by Muslims in Mangaluru.

On fateful day, when he was going to collect some documents from the office at Katipalla, a group of miscreants who arrived in a car, attacked him with lethal weapons. 

The attack was so brutal that his fingers were severed and he received serious injuries on his head. He died on the spot due to injuries. The body has been shifted to private hospital in Mangaluru for post-mortem.

As soon as the news began to spread a large number people had gathered at hospital.

Sources, said that few days ago there was clash between two religious communities over tying of buntings for a programme. Deepak, who is member of saffron party and association, was also one among them. 

Meanwhile, BJP leaders have condemned the murder and demanded NIA probe.

Bengaluru, Apr 4: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday asked Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar to be the government's spokesperson on the Novel Coronavirus crisis management effort, a move that is being seen as keeping too many cooks from spoiling the broth.

At a high-level meeting to review measures on COVID-19 containment, Mr Yediyurappa is said to have taken exception to his Cabinet colleagues making multiple, and often contradictory statements, leading to confusion.

''The CM has directed Mr Kumar to be the only one to brief the media on COVID-19,'' a source from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) confirmed.
