Mangaluru, Dec 10: A gang of miscreants belonging to Sangh Parivar have brutally assaulted a cattle trader and his helpers at Bilalsuradi village near Belthangady, on the outskirts of the city.

The trader Hussain Malebettu and his aide Rukmayya, both aged around 50 years have been hospitalized after the attack.

Source said that a 50 member group, wielding rods and clubs, suddenly arrived and started hitting them when they were reportedly loading some seven heads of cattle on Tuesday.

Hussain, who is undergoing treatment in Government Wenlock Hospital in the city, said that the miscreants dragged him towards a nearby river after assaulting him with clubs and rods. However, the miscreants fled the spot when they noticed a police team.

Mr. Rukmayya, who was also admitted to a hospital, said that no one was to help them when the miscreants surrounded them all of a sudden. The driver of the vehicle and two others managed to escape.

Soon after the police registered a case against the assailants, a Sangh Parivar activist lodged a counter complaint against the victims saying they were stealing cattle and loading into them.

Mr Husain said that he was engaged in cattle trading without violating the law and that he never indulged in illegal activities.

It is not at all essential to kill cow for food. like that any animal. That too after long painful death. Please note that calf of cow is able to stand up within hours of Birth and starts running. We humans do not even allow that animal to feed its calf as we are greedy for milk.

The same milk is used for tea and coffee,sweets and other dishes also to feed our own child. Old patients and sick are given milk for health.

Same cow who is feeding your family is killed for few money that too in britual manner. Yes Hindus are also culprits as the cattle owners sell the cows and buffallos for few money. But at the same time muslims are also having the greed to taste beef. For beef which is banned in MP and sourrounding states,they prefer to even go to maharashtra earlier. so brothers please do not take it as hind muslim affair but stop meat exports. Can we expect muslims to support? It is shame on the hindu owners of meat industry.

As regards nepal,please note that immediately upon sacrificing 5000 cows they faced earthquake killing lacs of nepalis. Last year.

Another example is TALIBAN where they had protested to buddha idols,and in lieu sacrificed 100 cows in name of God. result? Taliban finished

Udupi, Dec 15: What was meant to be a post-pilgrimage gathering turned tragic in Padukere village of Brahmavar taluk, Udupi district, late Sunday night, when a clash among youths escalated into a fatal assault, leaving one man dead.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Santosh Mogaveera, a resident of Padukere.

According to preliminary information, the incident took place during a late-night drinking party involving a group of local youths who had recently returned after completing their pilgrimage to the Sabarimala shrine. An argument reportedly broke out among the group and soon escalated into a violent confrontation.

During the ensuing brawl, Santosh Mogaveera was allegedly assaulted and collapsed at the spot after sustaining serious injuries. He was rushed by local residents to a private hospital in Brahmavar, where doctors declared him dead.

On receiving information, senior police officials, including Brahmavar Circle Inspector Gopikrishna, Kota Police Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar T, Station ASI Manthesh Jabagoudar, and head constables Pradeep and Ashok, visited the spot and conducted an inspection.

Police have taken four youths into custody in connection with the incident. A case has been registered at the Kota police station, and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events leading to the death.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
