Hubballi, Jul 25: A hardline Hindutva outfit has demanded the release of suspected saffron extremists arrested in connection with the assassination of journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh.

Dozens of activists Kranti Sena staged a protest in front of the tahsildar's office here on Tuesday and demanded that they are released immediately.

The Sena leader Vitthal Pawar said that the special investigation team has arrested “innocent” saffron activists Parashuram Wagmore, KT Naveen Kumar, Sujith Kumar, Amol Kale, Amit Degwekar, Manovar Yavade and Mohan Nayak. The SIT also arrested Baddi and Miskin in Hubballi.

"Though the youths were not involved in the murder, the SIT has arrested them illegally. Hence, they should be released immediately," he claimed.

The activist also said that the families of the arrested youths are poor and struggling to make the ends meet. He also warned of intensifying the protest if they are not released.

It may be recalled here that Baddi, 27, and Miskin, 28, were arrested on Sunday evening. Both the youths are friends. While Baddi is a small jeweler, Miskin is an entrepreneur involved in agarbatti business. With the arrest of the duo, the total number of arrests in connection with the murder has taken to nine. Both the suspects are in 14-day SIT custody.

Mangaluru, Feb 10: Life of a 40–year-old man, who suffered a massive cardiac arrest, was saved by an ambulance driver who covered 80-km distance between Dharmasthala and Mangaluru in just 40 minutes.

The patient, a Chikkaballapur native sustained a heart attack near Sakleshpur on Saturday while he was on his way to Dharmasthala. He was provided preliminary treatment at a private hospital in Ujire, where doctors advised his relatives to shift him to a hospital in Mangaluru immediately.

The patient’s condition was critical and the odds were completely against him. Moreover owing to the ongoing double lane project work, the road too had been dugout. Despite all this, ambulance driver Hameed drove at a fast pace and managed to take the patient to the hospital within 40 minutes.
