Mangaluru, Jul 13: A gang of three miscreants barged into a beef stall at Mastikatte area in Ullal on the outskirts of the city and attempted to murder a youth in the broad daylight on Wednesday.

murder 1

A severely injured Mohammad Kamaaluddin, 25, son of Nasir, a resident of Alekal, was rushed to a private hospital in Thokkottu for treatment after the attack.

The eye-witnesses have identified the assailants as Arfan, Mitha Nisar and Jafar, the three notorious men, who had allegedly robbed the same beef staff nearly a month ago during Ramadan.

They attacked Kamaaluddin with knife, iron rod and soda bottles and fled the scene before anyone could catch them.

According to sources, the reason for today's murderous attack was that Kamaaluddin had lodged a police complaint against trio and their associates after they allegedly barged into the beef stall in Ramadan, attacked him and other staff before fleeing with Rs 1,200.
Based on the complaint of Kamaaluddin, the Ullal police had nabbed one of the gang members, identified as Mukthar, who is still in custody.

Following this the other gang members had started issuing threats to Kamaaluddin and asked him to withdraw the complaint against them. Arfan's father Jaldi Siddiq, who is said to be a drug peddler, had also threatened to eliminate Kamaaluddin if he failed to withdraw complaint.

Kamaaluddin had reportedly brought this issue to the notice of the local police, who asked him to be careful. However, on Wednesday the three among the accused again barged into the beef stall and attempted to murder him.

When the injured was admitted to the hospital, a few local residents saw Jaldi Siddiq there. He began to ran. However, locals chased for nearly one kilometre and caught him. He was then handed over to the police.

A case has been registered at Ullal police station in this regard and investigations are on.

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.

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.
