Kasaragod, Oct 9: The district police have managed to arrest a 39-year-old man in connection with throwing stones on a Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus at Perwad, near Kumbla, late on Friday, grievously injuring the driver.

On being alerted by the Special Branch, the police rounded up Abdul Salam, a resident of Mavinakatta, near Kumbla, who confessed to have committed the crime for ‘time-pass’, Kumbla police sub-inspector J.K. Jayashankar said.

The man, who was charged under the provisions of Prevention of Damage to Public Property (PDPP) Act and IPC Section 308 (culpable homicide), was being produced at a court here later on Sunday, he added.

Meanwhile, E. Sasidharan, the driver who hails from Kozhikode, was admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru with complaints of heavy bleeding after his wrist veins got ruptured by the stone.

A passenger of the bus, plying on the Mangaluru-Kasaragod route, also sustained minor injuries. Mr. Sasidharan, who was admitted to the hospital in a critical condition owing to excessive bleeding, was said to be out of danger.

The police continue to remain clueless over the motive behind the attack on Friday night, a senior police official said.

Bengaluru, May 3: The Commissioner of Health and Family Welfare Services in the government of Karnataka KA Dayanand issued an order approving quarantine of asymptomatic COVID-19 infected international passengers on payment basis at star hotels.

The international passengers in the state have been categorised into A, B and C groups depending on their symptoms and co-morbid conditions. Category A passengers are symptomatic and are being sent to isolation hospitals which may be COVID care centres.

Category B and C passengers are asymptomatic and are being sent to institutional facilities like hostels, guest houses, hotels, etc.

"On the basis of demands by category B and C passengers to provide them star hotel accommodation on a self-payment basis, they have been granted the choice of staying in those hotels at their own cost. The BBMP Special Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner can have a meeting with such hotels and finalise the negotiated rate," Commissioner Dayanand said in the order.

"The hotels for category B passengers should have round the clock presence of health personnel while hotels for category C passengers should be visited by health staff once a day," he added.
