Farooq Ullal, spokesperson of Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee and member of Ullal City Municipal Council had parked his Swift car outside his home last night.

When he came out of home early morning on Thursday to attendant Fajr namaz at a nearby mosque, he found his car was damaged with the windshield and all the windows shattered.

Mr Farooq, who is also the president of a local mosque, has ruled out the communal angle in the attack and held a gang of drunkards responsible for the act.

“I do not have any personal rivalry or animosity with anyone in any community. I am sure that no one wants to harm me or my property. This is the act of a few drunkards who has been troubling the people in the area,” he said urging the police to nab the culprits.

He said that a gang of miscreants has been extorting money from pilgrims who visit Ullal Dargah. “The same gang now started demanding hafta from local shopkeepers and issuing threats. They are drunkards. This might be the act of same gang,” he said.

A case has been registered at Ullal police station and investigations are on.

Manglauru, Jun 1: The southwest monsoon has made an onset over Kerala, marking the commencement of the four-month long rainfall season, the India Meteorological Department said on Monday.

"The southwest monsoon has made an onset over Kerala," IMD director general Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.

The four-month monsoon season from June to September accounts for 75 per cent of rainfall in the country.

Private forecaster Skymet Weather on May 30 had declared arrival of monsoon, but the IMD had differed, saying conditions were not ripe then for such an announcement.

Orange alert

Meanwhile, coastal Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district, which is receiving sporadic rains for past couple of days, is on orange alert.

Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh declared the orange alert following IMD’s prediction of heavy rainfall in the region.
