Mangalore, October 10: A bizarre incident of moral policing has been reported from district sub jail in the city where a group of under-trials assaulted an alleged pimp soon after the latter joined them as a new inmate on Tuesday.

41-year-old Mohan, from BC Road, who was arrested in a prostitution case, suffered head injuries and was admitted to the District Government Wenlock Hospital here after the incident.

The jail authorities had to intervene to rescue him when a group of five under-trials identified as Mohammed Faizal, Ilyas, Altaf, Khalid and Abdul Mannan, who are in the jail on charges of attempted murder for the past five months, assaulted him.

They were angered by the news that Mohan was caught while soliciting clients for women.

The incident occurred at 8.15am when the undertrials were let out for their morning ablutions. "We leave undertrials for about an hour from 7am for ablutions. The incident occurred while the victim was returning to the cell,'' jail authorities said.

Mohan was assaulted with steel plates on his head, knee cap and knee joint. Barke police are investigating the case.

Meanwhile, a routine search by the city police during the day yielded a mobile without a sim card and a pair of scissors from the jail premises.

Police said that apart from the two objects, nothing incriminating or narcotics was recovered from the cells or its premises.

Mangaluru, June 1: The private bus services resumed services in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts today with 15 per cent hike in the fares. For 70 days these buses were stayed off the roads as lockdown was imposed in the region on March 22 in the wake of covid-19 outbreak.

Buses were sanitised in the morning. The bus operators have decided to operate only a few of the buses initially.
