36-year-old Mohammed Iqbal, a resident of Kavoor-Shantinagar here, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city after the brutal assault of April 19.

According to Mr Iqbal, the cops are trying to falsely implicate him in a murder conspiracy case and forcing him to confess to a crime he did not commit.

“A month ago police had visited my house to question me in connection with a murder conspiracy case. It was a shock for me as I knew nothing about the case. I really do not know who hatched the murder conspiracy and who the target was,” he said.

“Police have already arrested two persons in connection with the case. When I came to know that they are trying to arrest two more persons including me, I decided to apply for an anticipatory bail,” he said.

He said that on April 19, he had gone to Kavoor police station to submit the copy of the anticipatory bail. “They confined me in the station from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the name of interrogation. Later they handed me over to the City Crime Branch sleuths, who brutally tortured me,” he said.

Mr Iqbal said that CCB inspector Valentine D'Souza, constables Sunil, Is'haq, Chanrahas and five others gave him unbearable physical torture, even though they were aware that he had secured a bail.

“They made me to stand semi-naked and then inhumanly thrashed and kicked me repeatedly. My hands, legs and private parts were severely injured. Now I can't even walk properly,” he said.

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either. 

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller. 

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon. 

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited. 

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
