Mangaluru, Jul 9: The Mangaluru city police today opened fire when three notorious rowdies having links with several saffron outfits allegedly attacked them in an attempt to evade arrest near Adyar on the outskirts of the city.

One of the rowdy-sheeters who tried to attack cop has been identified as Bhavith Raj. He was among the three miscreants who had tried to kill a Muslim mango trader in the wee hours of Sunday near Kulshekhar Chowki. Though the trader Umar Farooq was transporting mangoes in a goods truck, Bhavit and the two other saffronites had accused him of transporting cattle and assaulted with a sword. The policemen who later visited the spot had confirmed that Farooq was transporting mangoes and not cattle.

This morning a team of police waylaid the car of the accused in the case on a narrow road near Adyar. To evade arrest the occupants of the car allegedly attacked cop with knife and machete. However, the cops managed to arrest Bhavit from the car after opening fire in self-defiance. Two others managed to escape.

According to police sources, Bhavit is already facing eight criminal cases including murder attempts. Mangaluru city police commission Sandeep Patil visited the spot after the incident.

Well done Sir.  Such criminals should not be allowed to live.  Encounter is the only solution which will give good lesson to ther rowdies.   These rowdies had planned to kill the mango trader in the name of Cow.  However, the trader is lucky to survive.  Thanks for God.   The escaping rowdies should be arrested immediately and harsh punishment like encounter or life imprisonment should be given.   We have observed that some innocents are being shot by police whereas they did not shot down these rowdies.

Well done sir. Great job. But you could have done one thing. Instead of wasting bullet & govt. food in Jail, you should have encountered them. They deserve that. At least good people can live in peace.

Bengaluru, May 1: As Mumbai link surfacing in some COVID-19 cases in Mandya district in Karnataka, JDS leader and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Friday blamed the district administration for the situation, accusing it of not quarantining 7,000 labourers who 'returned' from the Maharashtra capital.

"The information we have is that there are about 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai of which 7,000 people reached the district. None of them was quarantined properly," Kumaraswamy told reporters in Bengaluru.

He claimed the district, a stronghold of JDS, was staring at a major spurt in cases due to the careless attitude of the district administration. "Government should initiate action against those who are responsible for the laxity," he said.

However, he did not specify when the 7,000 workers returned to Mandya. When asked about Kumaraswamy's claim, officials said they have to verify it. Of the eight cases reported from Mandya on Friday, three had a travel history to Mumbai, a major COVID-19 hotspot in the country, officials said.

A Health Department official said four of the fresh cases were contacts of a patient who tested positive on April 8 and admitted to a hospital. After weeks of coming in contact with him, the four were confirmed for COVID-19, an official said. The Three people with travel history to Mumbai had, in fact, brought the body of a man who died of a heart attack there on April 24, the official added.
