Mangaluru, Feb 15: In a fresh case of mob justice, a 38-year-old resident of Thotadtady, a village near Belthangady, who was involved in cases of theft and other crimes, died after being assaulted by the residents of the village on the outskirts of Mangaluru on Monday.

beatenPeter, the victim, was among the two persons accused of stealing two bags of areca-nut from the house of Jacob in the village on Sunday.

On Monday, Peter was reportedly caught by the people, along with four bags of arecanut that had been allegedly stolen from another house. The people tied him to a tree and called the Belthangady police.

Before the police arrived, the village residents thrashed Peter black and blue, and he died before he could be taken to a hospital.

Superintendent of Police S.D. Sharanappa said that the village residents were angry against Peter for his involvement in theft and other offences. “But, this does not approve of taking law into their own hands and assaulting Peter,” Mr. Sharanappa said.

A case of murder has been registered. Mr. Sharanappa said that Peter was involved in nine criminal cases. A process had been initiated to extern him from the district. Peter had been arrested and lodged in the Mangaluru prison. He was released on bail a few days ago, he said.

New Delhi, Jul 3: The aviation regulator DGCA said on Friday it was extending the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights in the country till July 31 but added that some international scheduled services on selected routes may be permitted on a case to case basis.

Scheduled international passenger flights were suspended in India on March 23 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Modifying its June 26 circular that stated that scheduled international passenger flights will remain suspended till July 15, 2020, the regulator stated on Friday it has decided to extend the deadline to July 31, 2020.

However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case to case basis,” said the circular by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Air India and other private domestic airlines have been operating unscheduled international repatriation flights under the Vande Bharat Mission, which was started on May 6 by the Central government.
