Mangaluru, Feb 21: A group of unidentified miscreants brutally attacked a man at Jokatte on the outskirts of the city on Sunday evening.
A critically injured Prakash Poojary (36), son of Koosappa, is battling for life at a private hospital in Mangaluru. He is said to be a Bharatiya Janata Party worker.
A resident of Thokur Kodikere Mr Poojary was riding his scooter when four persons chased him in two motorbikes and attacked him with lethal weapons.
It is learnt that Mr Poojary was returning from his shop in Jokatte to his house. Near Jokatte Third Gate he was blocked and attacked. When Mr Poojary collapsed, the assailants fled the spot.
Passers-by noticed Prakash Poojary lying unconscious on the road and made arrangements to move him to a private hospital near Kuntikana junction.
The incident has created a tense atmosphere in Jokatte and surrounding areas.
A case of attempt to murder has been registered in Suratkal police station. The police said that they are yet to identify assailants. A manhunt is on to nab the accused.
The police said they have so far not found any evidence to link this assault with the one on a 22-year-old man in Kana on Friday.

Is killing so easy in mangalore? Pull all politicians or rowdies who wants to kill each other to a ground n let them do what they want to so.. So that Mangalore citizens can stay without any fear
Whats happening in our town? now police along with sangh parivar activists will launch mid night raids on homes of innocent muslims, drag them to custody and torture...
What the hell... Assailants are directly helping Sangh Parivar. They must be arrested and punished immediately.
Also CD must let us know the back ground of the victim. Where he was part of saffron immoral brigade (like prashant poojary of Moodbidiri)?
thanks CD for the fast update. this is a shocking incident.
Get well soon Prakash Poojary. We are with you. We will not leave the terrorists.
Hope police will raid all suspects homes in Jokatte and give justice to the victim.
Accused might be B wing of BJP. they kill their own men in sensitive areas and blame it on other communities.
