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.
