Mangaluru, Dec 13: A group of miscreants thrashed a Muslim boy after he was found speaking to a girl belonging to another community in the city on Wednesday.

The boy and the girl, said to be friends, were speaking near State Bank Circle when a group followed them. On suspecting the motive of the group, the boy asked the girl to run away.

The group then caught hold of the boy and threatened him against speaking to the girl. They also allegedly thrashed him.

Though the boy claimed that they were colleagues working in a mall, the members did not let go of him. On learning about the incident, Mangaluru South Police rushed to the spot, sources said.

Inspector K U Belliappa said that, "When the boy and the girl were conversing, a group, claiming to be the girl's family, arrived and began interrogating the youth. The police rushed to the spot. It is not known whether the group belongs to any organisation," he said.

Why such type goondagiri is taking place in karnatka.  Why police are soft on the terror group who are behind such gundagiri.   why are they not allowing people to live in peace.  Police should trace the culprits from nearby  cctv and arrest under goonda act.   such miscreants need to be punished to teach lesson to their colleagues.   In the meantime, why these youngersters are doing unneessary things and put themselves in truble.  Talking to a girl from another community is a crime nowadays and sangh parivar members have the right to beat anyone talking to girl from different community.  These miscreants have blessings from bjp.   Situation may go out of contral in case Police do not contral these goondas from doing immoral policegiri.

Mangaluru, Jun 11: City police on Thursday filed a 700-page chargesheet in connection with the arrest of Aditya Rao, 36, accused of planting an IED at Mangaluru International Airport on January 20.

The chargesheet said the bag placed near MIA entrance had a real bomb, as per the FSL report. The IED in the tin box was made of sulphur, ammonium nitrate, potassium chlorate and charcoal.

Rao, an engineer, who learnt bomb-making through online videos, had also placed a timer along with it and sharp objects such as nails and metals. However, he had not fixed wires to trigger a blast. “His intention was not to cause a blast but only to create a scare,” said sources.

The bomb was made in less than two weeks. However, it had taken Rao several days to procure raw materials. Police had completed the chargesheet process in April.

Mangaluru, May 6: The Karnataka NRI Forum - UAE has collected the details of those seeking to return to Karnataka amidst coronavirus lockdown.

Of these, 121 of these expats are pregnant women, 27 are senior citizens, 157 are in urgent medical need, 522 are unemployed, 377 are in the UAE on visit visa, 109 are in the UAE on expired residency visa, 30 are students and 566 others.

On Tuesday, May 5, the Government of India released a list of flight schedules for the repatriation of Indians who are stranded abroad. "...sadly we do not see any flights going from UAE to Karnataka," the KNRI said in a letter to Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda, who is also a Kannadiga.

"We, Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru and KNRI have collected the information of those who are in dire condition and would like to travel immediately. We would like to bring to your attention that in this list there are pregnant women and senior citizens who are in critical conditions and are waiting to travel," the KNRI wrote, urging the Union Minister to start at least one flight to Mangaluru as the majority are from this coastal city and not from Bengaluru.

Additionally, in order to help these struggling Kannadigas, the KNRI has notified the Government of India and Government of Karnataka several times through letters and conference calls, along with the Kannadiga's helpline, UAE.

With the help of likeminded businessmen and professionals, the KNRI Forum and Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru have opened a helpline called "Kannadigas Helpline" through which they have received around 2,500 requests for food, medical, legal and other assistance.
