Bengaluru, Jun 20: A teenage boy, who was missing from his house in Girinagar for a month, finally returned home after watching Kannada actor Sudeep’s video message, which has gone viral on social media.

In the video, Sudeep had requested the boy to return home and assured him that he would meet him in person if he returns home. “No matter how many fights you have with your parents, nothing beats their love. Please come back home,” the actor appealed in the video.

16-year-old Manikanta, a class 9 student in a private school in Girinagar, was allegedly angry with his parents for asking him why he missed his tuition classes. He left home on May 20, and did not return. His parents approached the Girinagar police and filed a missing complaint, after which police constituted a team to look for him.

According to sources the boy was eating and sleeping in the temple premises in Tirupati. On Monday he started chatting with a tourist there and narrated his story. He claimed to have watched the video recorded by Sudeep and decided to return home. The tourist alerted the boy’s family. The family members thanked the actor and the Girinagar police for their efforts.

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.
