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.

Bengaluru, Jun 4: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Siddaramaiah on Thursday said it was not appropriate to reopen schools for two more months, given the current rate at which coronavirus infection is spreading.

He also advised Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar not to take any hasty decisions in this regard.

"As corona infection is spreading in the state beyond limits, it is not appropriate to open schools for at least two more months. Chief Minister and Suresh Kumar should not make any hasty decisions," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

Stating that Suresh Kumar has placed a proposal to reopen schools in July, he said the chief minister has to take note of worried parents opposing this proposal.

"There are reports about students getting infected by coronavirus after reopening of schools in countries like Britain, France and Italy. It is appropriate to think about reopening schools on analysing the situation after two months," he said in another tweet.

The state government has sought an opinion from parents and stakeholders regarding reopening of schools in the state, with the easing of the COVID-19 lockdown norms.

Amidst worries and concerns expressed by parents across the state, the Education Minister on Wednesday had assured that the government would not take any hasty decisions regarding reopening of schools.

The Union government, in its recent guidelines, had asked state governments to hold consultation at school, college, training and coaching institutions-level with parents and other stakeholders, and based on the feedback, a decision on reopening them would be taken.
