Hindutva activists brutally attack migrant workers, call them terrorists'

Chikkamagaluru, Jul 26: A group of Hindutva activists brutally assaulted two migrant workers from northeast India after calling them Bangladeshi terrorists' near Alduru town in Chikkamagaluru taluk on Monday.

The injured have been identified as Ohijul Sikdar (32) and Tamsorali, both were part of a group of labourers from Assam. Among them Sikdar was seriously injured when a gang of 10 activists pushed him, and hit his head, back and limbs. He was lying on the road unconscious by the time police reached the spot.

The police rushed him to the government hospital in Alduru and later to the district hospital in Chikkamagaluru, where he is said to be recovering.

The incident happened around 8.30 p.m. when around 60 people, including a few children, from Assam, all hired by various estates as plantation workers, reached Alduru town in a private bus.

The workers from Assam had reached Bengaluru by train. As there was no KSRTC service on the day, they hired a private bus to reach Alduru.

As they were walking towards their respective estates, a group of Hindutva activists stopped them and asked them go back to their native land. They allegedly called them “terrorists from Bangladesh” and said they should no longer work in Chikkamagaluru. They picked up an argument with two of them and beat them up, according to the complaint registered in Alduru Police Station.

Following the incident, Alduru police registered a case on charges of attempt to murder and rioting against 10 people. Six of the accused were arrested by Tuesday morning. The arrested are Tejas, Sharat, Shivakumar, Manu Kumar, Rohit and Sudarshan. “Four other accused are absconding,” said K. Santosh Babu, Chikkamagaluru Superintendent of Police.

Govt should spare no time in arresting the leaders of the terrorist organisatins to brutually attacked inidans from other states. These terrorists have no right to be called as Indians as they have no respect for the co-Indians. Shame on your Hindutva terrorists. Govt should ban these terrorist organisations and kick out their leaders out of Indian mainland. Hoswever, i am sorry to say that no Govt will take that step. Instead of arresting the terrorists i doubt that innocents migrants will be arrested and punished for no fault of theirs.

These so called Hindu activists are doing too much goondasm throughout the country. These people should be booked as terrorists.

Send this Bajrangis to Andaman on one way ticket and never to return to mainland

Elusive bamboo shrimp resurfaces in Mangaluru estuary after 70 years

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.
