Mangalore, November 13: Within two days after the city witnessed a double murder, miscreants attempted to murder an on-duty auto rickshaw driver near Gurpur-Kaikamba on the outskirts of the city Sunday afternoon.

29-year-old Ravindra, son of Narayana Salyan, was rushed to a private hospital in the city by local people after he was stabbed multiple times by unidentified miscreants.

According to sources, the four assailants, who came in the Maruti Omni bearing registration number KA 19 P 2528 and waylaid the auto rickshaw, fled the scene soon after stabbing Ravindra.

The incident occurred at around 2:00 pm while Ravindra, a resident of Gurpur, was driving his rickshaw on Kandavara road near the Airport Signal near Kaikamba.

He was recently married and his wife said to be pregnant. He had also served as the vice-president of a local auto-rickshaw union in Gurpur.

Lathi- charge

Tense atmosphere prevailed in the area after the incident as Ravindra was a known Bajrang Dal activist in Gurpur.

Shocked by the incident, auto-rickshaw drivers and Bajrang Dal activists expressed their anger by forcing the local shopkeepers to shutter down their shops.

Police resorted to a mild lathi- charge to disperse the mob and brought situation under control.

Commissioner of Police, Seemanth Kumar Singh rushed to the spot and expressed confidence of nabbing the accused at the earliest.

Hyderabad, MAY 28: A three-year-old boy who accidentally fell into a newly drilled open borewell in Telangana's Medak district was found dead in the early hours of Thursday, police said.

The kid's body was retrieved at around 4 am after a nearly 10 hours' long rescue operation involving different agencies, they said.

"He died a while before we evacuated him, most likely due to the mud that covered him from the top sealing off necessary oxygen supply, " Medak District Superintendent of Police Chandana Deepti told PTI.

The boy had accidentally slipped into the 120- feet borewell at around 5 pm on Wednesday in an agricultural field located in Papannapet mandal of the district when he was walking with his grandfather and father, police earlier said.

As part of rescue efforts, a parallel trench was dug along the borewell hole with the help of earth excavating machines and oxygen was supplied into it, but the efforts went in vain as the boy's body was found stuck at a depth of around 25 feet, the police said.

Apart from the police, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel were also involved in the rescue operation.

The borewell into which the child fell was one among the three dug by the family since Tuesday night to try and find water for their fields. But none of them yielded any water, police had said.
