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.

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)?

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Lashing out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led government over the handling of coronavirus crisis, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar on Thursday demanded Governor's rule in the state. He also took a dig at Health Minister B Sriramulu's "Only God can save us" remark.

"I heard the statement of Sriramulu and Sudhakar. They have said that they cannot manage this (coronavirus crisis) and they leave it to God who can save Karnataka. If such is the case, they could not solve the problems of the people of Karnataka. It is time now they must resign and let the Governor's rule come into force. The time has come for all of them to step down," Shivakumar said.

Taking to Twitter, Sriramulu said that the KPCC president misinterpreted his statement.

He said that Opposition allegations of negligence and incapability of the government and irresponsibility of ministers are "far from the truth".

The minister said that people should be made aware of the prevention of coronavirus as it plays a very important role in the prevention of infection.

"Here are the cautioning words, 'If you stumble, only God has to save us.' The government, our Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and ministers are working day and night. We are working for the people, to effectively face this century's challenge," he tweeted.

As many as 4,169 new COVID-19 cases and 104 deaths were reported in Karnataka on Thursday, taking the total number of cases to 51,422 cases including 19,729 recoveries and 1,032 deaths.

Bengaluru reported 2,344 new cases and 70 deaths in the last 24 hours, according to the state health department.
