Bengaluru, Jul 5: An excursion, meant to be full of fun and frolic, turned disastrous for five students from Bengaluru after they were thrashed by locals who thought they were cattle thieves. The incident occurred at a village in Katukanapalya, Ramanagara district, early on Monday.

The victims have been identified as Amruth Jai, a fourth year MBBS student of Rajarajeswari Medical College, Prithviraj, a third year engineering student of Jain College, and Vedamurthy, Raghu and Srikanth, who work in a private firm. While Murthy sustained severe injuries on his legs, the others suffered injuries to the head and face, police said. They are undergoing treatment at Rajarajeswari Medical College.

According to Vedamurthy, the students had gone to Savanadurga on Sunday. They decided to return only on Monday morning as it was late in the night and they were drunk. When they were resting, a large number of villagers started attacking them with lethal weapons, accusing them of being cattle thieves. They pleaded with the villagers, but in vain. Despite repeated requests, the villagers did not even give them water, Vedamurthy said.

The villagers claimed cattle and sheep were being stolen every day for the last few months. As the police did not take any action, the villagers formed teams and began night patrolling. While patrolling on Sunday night, they spotted the students' car. Assuming the thieves were back, the villagers attacked the students.

The accused is a resident of Sorab taluk and is said to be below 18 years. He uploaded the objectionable content during April and May last year. He was traced based on the IP address of his computer and the mobile call records shared by the investigating agencies.

He was arrested in January under the provisions of the Information Technology Act 2000 and sent to judicial custody, said police sources.

Mangaluru, Jul 2: Mangaluru BJP Corporator Manohar Shetty, who entered a manhole to clean a drain, said that he did it to avoid waterlogging ahead of monsoon as people were facing several problems for the past few years.

"In my ward, there is a rainwater drain at Kadri Kambla junction and for the past few years, there was a waterlogging problem due to trash water used to collect and vehicles used to find it difficult to pass in that area," Shetty said.

"Since there was a lot of trash it had to be cleared to avoid waterlogging. We changed our dresses, and then I along with my three party workers entered manhole and cleared the trash," he said.

The Mangaluru BJP Corporator further said that it was not a publicity stunt, and he cleaned the drain to solve the problem of people. "During elections, I had promised people to get the drain cleaned. Since monsoon was coming; something had to be done; we did not do it for publicity but to solve a problem," he said.
