Mangaluru, Sept 26: Two persons — a man and a woman — have been arrested by the Mangaluru city police on charge of blackmailing, abducting and robbing a senior citizen.

The arrested have been identified as Rajesh Pavithran, 34, resident of Kuttar and district president of the Hindu Mahasabha, and Srilatha, 30, Mangaluru taluk president of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.

Police said that the two along with their gang recorded a 76-year-old businessman’s sexual act with women and threatened to release the video to the media if he did not heed their demand.

Srilatha called the man near Mangala Stadium, Ladyhill, on September 23. Upon the man’s arrival, Srilatha and four unidentified people kidnapped him. The man was locked at the residence of Pavithran in Surathkal.

Police said that the five demanded Rs 5 lakh each to hide the video. As the man refused to budge, the gang assaulted him and fleeced his gold chain weighing 4.5 sovereigns, two gold rings, a watch and Rs 18,000. The man then filed a complaint at Barke police station.

Police recovered the man’s belongings and the memory card which supposedly contains the video.

The accused were booked under various sections of the IPC on Tuesday. They were produced before a court which remanded them in judicial custody. More people are yet to be detained, police said.

Mangaluru, Feb 5: ‘Forum for the justice of December 19 Mangaluru firing victims’ has demanded that the policemen who are responsible for the death of two innocent men in Mangaluru one-and-a-half months ago should be booked for homicide. 

49-year-old Abdul Jaleel Kandak, a father of two, and 23-year-old Nausheen Kudroli, were killed in an arbitrary and unwarranted police firing during a disturbance occurred due to police baton charge in the city on December 2019. 

Addressing a press conference, Forum’s convenor Abdul Jaleel Krishnapur said that a judicial inquiry commission should be set up to probe into the police firing which claimed two lives and injured many other innocent civilians.  

“Already a murder case should have been filed against the policemen who opened fire on the people.  Instead, false cases have been booked against many innocent people including the victims. This is a blot on the society,” he said. 

He urged the government to direct the police department to drop false charges registered against the victims and take necessary action against the culprits in khaki. 

He said that the Form demands Rs 25 lakh each compensation for the kin of the two men murdered by the police and Rs 15 lakh compensation for those who injured in police firing on December 19.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
