A sincere apology for incorrect photograph

Mangaluru: One of the photographs run on this website for almost an hour in relation to the murder of Mohammad Sameer son of Ahmed Saheb, hailing from Ganjimutt on the outskirts of the city, was published in error. The youth wearing sunglasses was not the murdered man and he has no connection with the case.

Even though coastaldigest.com replaced the incorrect photograph with the real victim’s photograph almost an hour after publishing the report on September 25, it had reportedly been shared widely on social platforms even before we realised our gaffe. 

We deeply regret any such inference arising from the publication of the wrong photograph and unreservedly apologise to him for the error.
