The youth who entered the studio at Hosmar in Edu village and allegedly molested the lone female staff has been identified as Satish alias Bajrangi Satish.

It is learnt that Satish entered the studio on Monday afternoon when the owner had gone for lunch asking the 18-year-old girl to take care of the studio.

Satish told the girl that he wanted his ‘one-minute-photo’ and when the girl was preparing to take his snap, he grabbed her from behind and molested her. He also took out a wire from his pocket and tried to tighten it around her neck, sources said.

Meanwhile, a person from adjacent shop who heard the strange noise immediately rushed to the studio. Satish tried to escape but was caught by the local residents.

They enquired him the reason for his bizarre action and then stripped and tied him to a pole. A few people also thrashed him. However, he did not sustain any major injuries.

Meanwhile, Karkala rural police rushed to the spot and took him to custody. It is suspected that the accused had a plan to rape and kill the girl. The girl has lodged a complaint. Police are investigating the matter.

Mangaluru, May 5: Even as the coastal city entered third phase of lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19, a wild bison was spotted in Mangaluru today. 

According to sources, local residents at Hathill area and Mannagudda area spotted bison. It is not sure whether it was the same bison or two different bison.

Some reports claimed that it was spotted in Kudroli area too triggering panic among people. 

With the help of local residents and police, the forest officials managed to catch the bison around noon. 

It is assumed that the wild animal must have come to the city as there was less movement of people and vehicle due to lockdown for past few weeks.
