Udupi, Dec 14: A group of ‘immoral police’ forced a group of six friends – three boys and three girls – to leave Delta Beach at Kodibengre in Udupi district on Wednesday just because they belonged to different communities.

According to the Additional Superintendent of Police Kumara Chandra, three girls from three different communities went to the beach with three boys belonging to a particular community. However, “local people” objected to their being on the beach.

Meanwhile, the police, who received information about the incident, rushed to the spot and informed the parents of the youths involved.

Some parents came to the beach, while others came to the Malpe Police Station and took their wards back to their homes. “No complaint has been booked by either those who went to the beach or by those who objected to it,” Kumara Chandra said.

The group of youths, which visited the beach, were friends from their school days. The group had earlier celebrated the birthday of one of the members of their group and then they visited the beach in the evening around 5 p.m., he said.

Following the incident, the district police have deployed a platoon of Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) at Kodibengre and a District Armed Reserve (DAR) unit at Hoode as a precautionary measure.

February 8,2020

Mangaluru, Feb 8: A speeding car fell off the newly-inaugurated Pumpwell flyover in the city after jumping the median and ramming into an oncoming car today.

At least four persons have suffered injuries in the mishap involving a Maruti Alto and a Renault Duster. The condition of two is said to be extremely critical. The other two have suffered minor injuries.

The accident took place when the driver of the speeding Alto which was heading towards Kasaragod from Udupi lost control over his vehicle.

Towards the end of the flyover, car rammed into the divider and then hit the ill-fated Renault Duster which was coming from the opposite direction. The Alto then fell off the bridge.

The accident caused traffic jam on the highway for some time. The flyover was inaugurated a week ago, after a decade long wait.
