Bantwal, Sep 19: A group of vigilante attackers owing allegiance to Sangh Parivar waylaid a cattle-laden vehicle in Bantwal taluk and brutally assaulted its driver until local police reached the spot and took him to custody.

Ivan D'Souza, who sustained severe injuries in the attack, has lodged a complaint at Bantwal Town Police Station against the assailants including local Hindutva activists Prashant, Thilakraj and Umesh.

The complainant said that the assailants threatened to kill him besides using abusive words against Christians and Muslims.

Acting on Mr D'Souza's complaint, the police managed to arrest three persons, who walked free by securing bail within a few hours.

The attack took place Thursday late night at Thumbia area of B Kasba village in Bantwal Taluk, when Ivan D'Souza and three others were transporting cattle. There were two cows and three calves in the vehicle.

When the vigilante attackers intercepted the pickup vehicle, three persons identified as Ashok, Basheer and Thasleem, managed to escape. However, Mr D'Souza was caught by the miscreants and assaulted.

Ironically, the police also arrested based on a complaint lodge by the vigilante attackers, who accused him of illegal cattle trafficking. Mr D'Souza maintained that he was transporting the cattle legally. He was released on bail after being produced before a local court on Friday. The police have seized the cattle and vehicle.

Mangaluru, June 14: Private schools under the aegis of Association of English Medium Schools in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi urged the State government to reimburse the arrears of the fee related to admission of students under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Speaking to newsmen here on Sunday association president Y. Mohammed Beary said the State government has not cleared the arrears for the last two years. “The 400 private schools in two districts have to get around Rs 2 crore,” he said and added that the overall arrears that the government has to pay to schools in the State are around Rs1,200 crore.

Mr. Beary said arrears have made the school managements like his, who collect annual fees of about Rs 20,000 from a student, hard to function. Due to lockdown from March the schools could not conduct annual examinations and hence they could not collect pending fees from parents.
