Mangaluru, Feb 3: An elderly couple was brutally attacked by a group of miscreants, suspected to be activists of a saffron group at Kalladka in Bantwal taluk on Monday night.

The unprovoked and unexpected attack took place hours after miscreants belonging to two communities involved in a clash following a road accident in the communally sensitive town.

It is learnt that the miscreants waylaid and attacked 80-year-old Ahmed Ali and his 75-year-old wife Mariyamma, residents of Kalladka, when they were returning home after visiting a private hospital for routine health check up.

Both of them have sustained severe injuries in the attack and have been undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Mangaluru.

“I am suffering from age related multiple ailments including heart and blood pressure problems. My wife is also suffering from high blood pressure. We have to visit the hospital at least once in a week. On Monday we went to a nearby hospital at around 5 p.m. and when we started walking towards home it was around 8:30 p.m.,” says Ahmed Ali, who was not even aware of the group clash that took place in Kalladka prior to the attack.

“A group of 10 to 15 miscreants approached us and started hurling abusive words. Then they began to manhandle us. One among them attempted to hit on my head with a heavy stick. When I tried to escape it hit on my cheek,” he says.

Ahmed Ali’s 23-year-old son Abdul Razzak, who rushed to spot, was also attacked by the same group of miscreants. However, he was discharged from the hospital after treatment.

Mariyamma, who is in a state of shock, said that neither she nor his husband was aware why they were beaten by the mob without any provocation. “Our elder son is a daily wage worker. He has to take care of our family. Our younger son is mentally challenged. Who will bear our hospital bills now? Only Allah can help us,” she said.

Muslim body condemns

Strongly condemning the brutal attack by miscreants in Kalladka, Dakshina Kannada United Muslims Organisation has urged the police to nab the culprits immediately.

A delegation of the organisation led by its president K Ashraf visited the couple in the hospital on Tuesday to give them moral support.

“This is one more attempt by anti-social elements to disrupt peace in the society. Police should immediately arrest the culprits and give justice to this elderly couple,” said Mr. Ashraf.

RSS needs bunch of coward sena to attack an old man or woman. It shows that they are not only coward but impotent too.

They are coward because they are the followers of Rama, one who used monkey sena to save his wife from ravana.

Dear Shivaji,

From where you received that the aged couples are attacked by relatives? If it is true its inhuman. However, no relatives will attack the old couples such way where they cannot bear the pain. No media reported that the attack was by relatives, you have to clarify the source of your news.

This is not new in DK, RSS thugs and police attack aged Muslims people at thier home or outside. There are ample evidence, RSS thugs dressed in Police uniforms attacked homes in Ullala and other places in Mangalore recently. A MLC from BJP admitted that 60% RSS thugs are in Police force in Mangalore.

Kalladka is Communally sensitive since a long time, Police department sincerely work in this area to bring the peace.

Muslims Should UNITE, its getting out of control.
The DEVILS dont recognise even elderly people & women. They attack like COWARDS...
To the HONEST hindus, dont put the AXE in your leg by supporting these devils..The one who gave SOUL (LIFE) will question when he takes back our LIFE ... JOIN hands with the secular people and stop supporting the LIARs who deceive YOU by putting FAKE FEAR to unrest the SOCIETY.

Kasaragod, Mar 31: Two more Kasaragod natives lost their lives on Monday due to blockade of the interstate border by Karnataka police in the wake of outbreak of novel coronavirus.

They could not get emergency health care as the Karnataka police stopped the ambulance carrying them to a hospital in Mangaluru at the border.

Another critically-ill person, who was sent back by Manguluru hospital authorities on March 23 for being a Kasaragod native, also died on Monday.

This is the fifth such case in many days.

The deceased are Madhavan, 50, Ayesha, 55 and Aziz Haji, 61 respectively.

All three of them lived near the Karnataka border.

Madhavan, who hailed from Thummanattu in Manjeswaram, died enroute to Kanhangad hospital after being denied entry to cross over to Karnataka. He had an acute bronchial attack.

Udyavar native Ayesha, an asthma patient, was referred to the Mangaluru Hospital by the hospital authorities at Uppali. When the authorities stopped her at the border, she was taken to the Kanhangad hospital. However, she died before reaching the hospital.

Aziz Haji, from Nayabazar Cherugoli MA Cottage at Uppala, was allegedly refused entry into a Manguluru Hospital on March 23 on account of being a Kasaragod native. Haji was a dialysis patient at the hospital. “We were unable to contact his doctor at the time,” his relatives said. Haji, who was on the ventilator, lost his life Monday morning.

One more from Kerala dies as Karnataka police stop ambulance at border
Kunjathoor native Abdul Hameed and Bandwal native Fathima also lost their lives due to the closing of the interstate border.

The district authorities has appealed to the Government to intervene in the matter and influence Karnataka as to lift a ban in crossing over for ambulances carrying critical patients.

The people of Kasaragod are largely dependent on the medical facilities in Mangaluru for critical illness care.

The Kasaragod MP, Rajmohan Unnithan has said he would move the Supreme court against this.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has already taken up the issue with the Centre.

Kerala HC takes up issue with Karnataka AAG

The Kerala High Court on Monday sought the views of the Advocate General of Karnataka on the issue of the government of the neighbouring state blocking its borders with Kerala.

The Court orally observed that the blockades erecting embankments on the inter-state roads would affect the people's right to life.

The Karnataka government blocked the state highway with to prevent movement of vehicles carrying essential goods and people seeking emergency treatment at hospitals in the city of Mangalore bordering Kasaragod.

With 97 infected patients, Kasaragod has the largest number of COVID-19 cases in Kerala. 7,437 people are under observation in the district.
