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)?

Newsroom, Jun 14: Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found dead in his house in Mumbai’s Bandra today, was heartbroken after the death of his former manager Disha Salian.

34-year-old actor had posted a heartfelt note after her death: “It’s such devastating news. My deepest condolences to Disha’s family and friends. May your soul rest in peace.” 

The police are considering 28-year-old Disha’s death as an accidental one and the investigation is on to find if it was a suicide. She died after falling off the 14th floor of a building in Malad, Mumbai on June 8.

It is not yet known if there is any connection between the two deaths. Sushant’s house help reportedly found him hanging inside his room on Sunday and cops are investigating the case. He was recently seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Chhichhore and more recently on Netflix opposite Jacqueline Fernandez in Drive.

Who is Disha Salian?

Disha Salian hails from Karnataka’s coastal district of Udupi. She was born in 1992 into a business family background. She reportedly migrated to Mumbai with her family at an early age. 

After completing her education, she worked in the Times of India Group for more than three years. She went on to become the celebrity manager at Media Vantage.

Apart from Sushant, she had great links with many popular celebrities like Bharti Singh, Alisha Panwar, and others.

Mangaluru, Jan 13: Supporting former state chief minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy who released a "CD on the December 19 Mangaluru violence", Dakshina Kannada party unit president Mohammed Kunhi on Monday demanded a probe into the violence.

Mr Kumaraswamy, who released 35 video clips related to the violence, had demanded the suspension of the Police Commissioner and also sought a house committee to probe the incident.

Addressing media personnel here, Kunhi questioned, "If the police department did not commit any mistake why is the state government looking worried about the CDs released by Kumaraswamy?"
