The arrested have been identified as:

1) Rahul alias Back Rahul (20), son of Rohan from Thokkottu. He is a plumber by profession.

2)Pavanraj (20), son of Mohandas, also from Thokkottu. He is a painter by profession.

3)Edwin Rahul D'Souza alias Pucche Rahul (18), son of Henry D'Souza, from Kotekar. He is a PU student.

4)Karthik (19), son of Raveendra, resident of Kotekar. He is a diploma student.

With the arrest of these four miscreants the number of persons nabbed in connection with the three stabbing incidents reported from Ullal earlier this week, reached five.

Two days ago, the police had arrested Shivaraj alias Shiva (19), a resident of Kumpala and an electrician by profession. He was arrested in connection with the attack on Ibrahim Hassan, who was targeted early on Monday morning, when he was on his way to fishing port in Mangaluru from Ullal.

Hours after attack on Ibrahim Hassan on Monday a gang of five miscreants had attacked Safwan (24), Saleem (22) and Nizam (22), who work with a catering contractor. Later on Tuesday another youth identified as Safwan (27), a resident of Patla, Kallapu, was allegedly attacked with weapons by about four miscreants when he was coming out of his house.

According to Mangaluru city police commissioner M Chandra Sekhar all five victims were innocents without having any criminal background. Raju Kotian, who was hacked to death by a few miscreants a few days ago, was also innocent, he said.

Justifying his decision to impose prohibitory orders under Section 144 under the limits of commissionerate for two days, the top cop said that such a measure was necessary to maintain law and order in the city.

He said that a few fringe groups were making preparations to stage protest in Mangaluru illegally and police will not allow them to execute their plans.

Puttur: The long-cherished dream of a government medical college in Puttur has moved a decisive step closer to reality, with the Karnataka State Finance Department granting its official approval for the construction of a new 300-bed hospital.

Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai announced the crucial development to reporters on Monday, confirming that the official communication from the finance department was issued on November 27. This 300-bed facility is intended to be the cornerstone for the establishment of the government medical college, a project announced in the state budget.

Fast-Track Implementation

The MLA outlined an aggressive timeline for the project:

•    A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the hospital is expected to be ready within 45 days.

•    The tender process for the construction will be completed within two months.

Following the completion of the tender process, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the project.

"Setting up a medical college in Puttur is a historical decision by the Congress government in Karnataka," Rai stated. The project has an estimated budget allocation of Rs 1,000 crore for the medical college.

Focus on Medical Education Department

The MLA highlighted a key strategic move: requesting the government to implement the hospital construction through the Medical Education Department instead of the Health and Family Welfare Department. This is intended to streamline the entire process of establishing the full medical college, ensuring the facilities—including labs, operation theatres, and other necessary infrastructure—adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The proposed site for the project is in Bannur.

Rai also took the opportunity to address political criticism, stating that the government has fulfilled its promise despite "apprehensions" and "mocking and criticising" from opposition parties who had failed to take similar initiatives when they were in power. "Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has kept his word," he added.

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.
