Mangaluru city police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar said that Shivaraj alias Shiva (19), a resident of Kumpala and an electrician by profession, was arrested in connection with the attack on Ibrahim Hassan, who was targeted early on Monday morning, when he was on his way to fishing port in Mangaluru from Ullal.

The top cop of the city said that the police are trying to confirm whether he had involved in two subsequent attacks reported on the same day under the limits of Ullal police station.

Hours after attack on Ibrahim Hassan on Monday a gang of five miscreants had attacked Safwan (24), Saleem (22) and Nizam (22), who work with a catering contractor. Later on Tuesday another youth identified as Safwan (27), a resident of Patla, Kallapu, was allegedly attacked with weapons by about four miscreants when he was coming out of his house.

According to Mr Chandra Sekhar all five victims were innocents without having any criminal background. Raju Kotian, who was hacked to death by a few miscreants a few days ago, was also innocent, he said.

Expressing confidence to nab all the culprits behind the attacks Mr Chandra Sekhar told media persons that a special team had already been formed comprising of ACP Kalyan Shetty, CCB inspector Valentine D'Souza, and inspectors of Konaje and Panambur police stations.

Giving a stern warning to trouble mongers against targeting innocents, he said that the cops will be ruthless towards anti-social elements. “Police have already interrogated around 10 suspects and soon all the accused will be arrested,” he said.

As part of precautionary measures, the commissioner, said that a prohibitory order under Section 144 was imposed in Ullal area between April on April 26 and 27.

He also said that the security was stepped up in Ullal area. “As many as 10 KSRP platoons, 5 ASPs, 8 inspectors, 6 SIs, 10 ASIs besides 260 police personnel were additionally deployed in the area,” he said.

Mangaluru, July 14: In order to detect COVID-19 cases quickly in Dakshina Kannada, the government has commissioned a programme to administer rapid antigen tests.

The coastal district has already received 3,500 rapid antigen test kits, which can give results in 30 minutes, an official said, adding that tests will be conducted shortly and training is being imparted on the use of the kits.

The antigen tests will be conducted for emergency cases like delivery, surgery, persons with severe symptoms of Covid-19, multiple-organ failure and for those whose condition is critical. 

"If a symptomatic patient tests negative for Covid-19, then his throat swab sample would be sent for lab testing," the district health officer (DHO) said.

The rapid antigen tests is expected to help in increasing the number of tests and bring down the load of testing on labs, as antigen kits allow faster diagnosis.

It takes a minimum of eight hours to get the results via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Antigen tests can provide results within half an hour.

Mangaluru, Feb 27: An utterly unprofessional thief, who fell asleep after breaking into a house, was caught by the house owner and handed over to the police in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada.

The hilarious incident took place on Wednesday in the one-storey, tiled-roof house owned by Sudarshan at Ullas Junction under the limits of Uppinangady police station.

The thief, who gained entry into the house by removing the roof-tiles, has been identified as Anil Sahani, a native of Bihar’s Majipur district. He was snoring on the sofa with a set of keys clutched in his hand when the house owner woke up in the morning.

The house owner, who was sure that the thief was drunk, woke him up by hitting him with a stick and then handed him over to the police.

According to police, the thief was tired after removing the tiles on Tuesday night and hence he decided to take a nap soon after entering the house.

He grabbed a bunch of keys kept near the TV stand and then lied down on the sofa. He woke up only when the house owner hit him with a stick the next morning.
