It is learnt that the accident took place when the driver of the car, plying towards the city from Mangaluru International Airport, was trying to negotiate a curve at Padavinangady.

It is said that the driver, who was speaking on his mobile phone, couldn't notice a heavy vehicle coming from the opposition direction.

While negotiating the curve the driver turned his car to the extreme left to avoid collision. As a result, the car plunged off the road, over turned and landed in a ravine.

The ill-fated Skoda has been badly damaged after the accident. However, the car driver, said to be a doctor, escaped with minor injuries. More details are awaited.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
