Kasaragod, Jun 20: A Muslim youth was brutally stabbed by a gang of miscreants last night at Choori on the outskirts of Kasaragod town.

The victim has been identified as Altaf, a local resident. He was attacked by a gang led by one Sandeep when the former was eating at a fast food restaurant.

A severely injured Altaf was immediately rushed to a hospital in Kasargod where he received preliminary treatment. He was later shifted to a hospital in Mangaluru for further treatment.

Kasargod police reached the spot and registered a case. The manhunt is on.

It could be recalled here that Muhammed Riyaz Moulavi, a madrasa teacher was stabbed to death by Sangh Parivar activists in March this year at a mosque in Old Choori.

3 held for murder attempt

In a separate case, the police have arrested three persons here on charge of attempting to murder a youth a week ago.

A police team led by Kasaragod Town Circle Inspector C.A. Abdul Rahim arrested Khaisal, 28, Habeeb, 22, residents of Anangoor here, and Thajuddin, 26, from nearby Majal, in connection with the murder attempt on Rajesh, alias Raju.

Around 9.45 p.m. on June 14, Rajesh was riding a scooter along with his friend, when the accused rammed the car they were travelling in into the scooter. Rajesh sustained multiple injuries in the incident and is being treated at a hospital in Mangaluru.

The attack was in apparent retaliation to the killing of Zainul Abid in the town in 2008. The police are on the lookout for Sulaiman Rifal, alias Chippy, 26, who allegedly masterminded the crime.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
