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.

Bengaluru, Apr 28: Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday suggested that the government can allow sale of liquor in green zones. 

“Merely because there is an economic slowdown in the state, I don’t recommend that alcohol should be allowed to be sold. But, wherever there are green districts, they can open (liquor sale) with certain restrictions, I think,” Siddaramaiah, the leader of the Opposition, told reporters. 

There are 14 districts in the state that are categorised as green because they do not have any active COVID-19 cases. The green districts are: Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Haveri, Davangere, Shivamogga, Chitradurga, Udupi, Chikmagalur, Hassan, Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, Ramanagara and Kolar.

There is tremendous pressure on the B S Yediyurappa administration to revive the economy as the lockdown has dried up all revenue sources. Excise, alone, accounts for 18 per cent of Karnataka’s own tax revenue. 

The Excise department recently suggested allowing regulated sale of liquor through the state-run MSIL outlets. The government, however, did not approve it fearing crowding and backlash from the Centre.
