The deceased have been identified as Madoor Yousuf alias Madooru Isubu (40) and Ganesh Shetty.

According to police Madoor Isubu, who was arrested in 2010, was a close aide of underworld don Chota Shakeel. He was accused of involving in more than 17 criminal cases since the year 2001, including four murders, attempt to murder, hurting, rioting and extortion.

Ganesh Shetty was also arrested in 2010 in connection with the murder case of Mahendra Pratap in 1994.

Around a dozen people have been injured in the clash. The injured also include a couple of police constables, sources said.

Some of the injured who were rushed to Government Wenlock Hospital have been identified as Iqbal, Asif, Pradeep Vamanjoor, Umesh Kombar, Yuvraj Soorinje and Shobharaj.

Even though the exact reason for the clash is yet to be ascertained by the police, sources said that it erupted when the inmates had assembled for breakfast on Wednesday morning.

It is learnt that Isubu and Shetty were attacked by the members of a gang with lethal weapons. According to a police officer, the weapons might have been thrown over the prison wall by the gang members.

According Mangaluru City Police Commissioner S Murugan, the weapons used for the murder might have been thrown over the prison wall from outside by associates of some of the under-trials.

He declined to comment on the reports that the prison had witnessed clashes between two gangs for past few days.

He said that both the murders were by the same gang of criminals. “It was the result of a violent clash between two gangs. Madoor Isubu and his alleged associate Ganesh Shetty were attacked during breakfast,” he said.

He clarified that Wednesday’s murders have no connection with any communal incidents. “It’s a clash between two gangs and not a communal clash,” he said.

Vicky Shetty claims responsibility

A notorious criminal, who is known for his inclination towards Sangh Parivar, has claimed responsibility for the cold blooded murders of two inmates at Mangaluru sub jail on Monday.

Madoor Isubu and his alleged associate Ganesh Shetty were hacked to death inside the prison by a gang during breakfast on Monday.

Vicky Shetty, a fugitive gangster, reportedly called the office of a Kannada news channel and told that his accomplices committed the crime.

“Our boys did it. Because they (victims) were anti-nationals and associates of Dawood Ibrahim,” said the caller, who identified himself as Vicky Shetty.

Arguing that the “nation” and the “underworld” are one and the same, the caller said that this murder has sent a clear message for “anti-nationals”.

Flight cancellations strand passengers overnight at Mangaluru Airport

News Network

December 4,2025

Mangaluru: Chaos erupted at Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) after IndiGo flight 6E 5150, bound for Mumbai, was repeatedly delayed and ultimately cancelled, leaving around 100 passengers stranded overnight. The incident highlights the ongoing country-wide operational disruptions affecting the airline, largely due to the implementation of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms for crew.

The flight was initially scheduled for 9:25 PM on Tuesday but was first postponed to 11:40 PM, then midnight, before being cancelled around 3:00 AM. Passengers expressed frustration over last-minute communication and the lack of clarity, with elderly and ailing travellers particularly affected. “Though the airline arranged food, there was no proper communication, leaving us confused,” said one family member.

An IndiGo executive at MIA cited the FDTL rules, designed to prevent pilot fatigue by limiting crew working hours, as the cause of the cancellation. While alternative arrangements, including hotel stays, were offered, about 100 passengers chose to remain at the airport, creating tension. A replacement flight was arranged but also faced delays due to the same constraints, finally departing for Mumbai around 1:45 PM on Wednesday. Passengers either flew, requested refunds, or postponed their travel.

The Mangaluru delay is part of a broader crisis for IndiGo. The airline has been forced to make “calibrated schedule adjustments”—a euphemism for widespread cancellations and delays—after stricter FDTL norms came into effect on November 1.

While an IndiGo spokesperson acknowledged unavoidable flight disruptions due to technology issues, operational requirements, and the updated crew rostering rules, the DGCA has intervened, summoning senior airline officials to explain the chaos and outline corrective measures.

The ripple effect has been felt across the country, with major hubs like Bengaluru and Mumbai reporting numerous cancellations. The Mangaluru incident underscores the systemic operational strain currently confronting India’s largest carrier, leaving passengers nationwide grappling with uncertainty and delays.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
