Local resident Mohammad Fazal (38), who managed to rescue one of the fishermen, lost his life in his bid to save another fisherman.

There were three fishermen on-board the ill-fated boat. They are Manex (45), Kumaran (30) and Chandan, all three fishermen from Tamil Nadu.

During its fishing expedition on Saturday afternoon the boat began to sink near a mouth of estuary due to turbulent weather. The helpless fishermen started screaming for help.

Fazal, a resident of Kotepura in Ullal, who witnessed this tragedy, jumped into see and with the help of his friend Rameez managed to rescue Manex.

Fazal once again jumped into see to help the other fishermen. However, his head hit a rock in the sea and he breathed his last at a hospital. Fazal was known in Ullal area as a Good Samaritan.

Meanwhile, Kumaran was saved by the Coast Guard through a helicopter. Chandan is still missing and he is feared dead. The Coast Guard personnel have continued search operation.

Dear Manoj,
The intention of specifying the rescuer as MUSLIM, is just to show dot those ill minded people who have negative image on all Muslims.

This is the logic behind it. Everybody should know though the choice of religion is their own will/ business. However maintaining harmony with other religion has no bound and no barrier.

Unfortunately religion has been identified in the society as TITLE of Criminals OR Innocents.
We are way behind KERALITES as they live together peacefully with cooperation, in harmony, keeping the religion as their own business.
Religion never says to severe the relation with others.
Let us make our living style also same as Keralites or better than them.
May God Help

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.
