Udupi, Nov 23: A team of Hebri police in Udupi district have seized as many as 30 country bombs and arrested three persons. Nagesh Nayak (35), resident of Hebri Kanyana, Gunakar Shetty (56), resident of Altadi Ardi and Laxman Shetty alias Lachu Shetty (67), resident of Altadi Madamakki, are the arrested.

Superintendent of Police Sanjeev M Patil told reporters here on Wednesday that Nagesh Nayak had procured the country bombs to hunt wild animals and was on his way to nearby forest to lay the bait.

Acting on a tip off Jagannath T T, PSI, Hebri police station and staff flagged down a scooter at Byana main road in Shivapura village and questioned the rider. While inspecting the vehicle, police discovered 30 country bombs stashed in the storage space beneath the seat, a head torch, a knife and a rain coat.

Nagesh informed police that he had purchased the bombs from Gunakar Shetty. Police seized the scooter as well as seized the bombs found in his possession.

Continuing with their investigation, Jagannath on direction from Hrishikesh Sonawane, assistant superintendent of police, Karkala sub-division on Wednesday nabbed Gunakar and Lakshman Shetty on charges of manufacturing and supplying country bombs. Police seized a motorcycle and 3 country bombs from their possession, Sanjeev Patil said adding Nagesh paid Rs 15000 to the duo for the 30 bombs.

The country bombs are usually wrapped in a cloth and used by farmers as wild-boar or pig trap to kill the animals. The explosive material used in the traps is similar to that used in low-intensity bombs. The farmers wrap the material in cloth along with food used as bait. When the wild boars get attracted by the food, they bite on the cloth bundle which explodes, killing or maiming them. Farmers use this to drive out the wild boars, which destroy their crops.

A case has been registered in Hebri PS under section 9B(1) of the Explosives Act, 1884 and section 4(b) and 5(A) of the Explosives Materials Act, 1908 along with 34 IPC, the SP said.

There is something fishy.  May be these people belong to sangh parivar.  Police should investigate on every corner and find out who is the main brain behind them.  May be they belong to some terrorist group.

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus. 

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
