Students have a narrow escape from car accident

July 2, 2011

Mangalore, July 2: Two school-going children had a narrow escape early on Saturday morning when a speeding car hit the centre median of a slippery road near St Agnes College, Bendur here.

The Alto car landed straight over the road-divider, when the lady-driver lost control over it, while moving towards Bendur from St Theresa School at around 8:30 a.m.

While the driver blamed the slippery road for the accident, local residents blamed the over-speed driving and reluctance of Mangalore City Corporation to install humps.

Local residents are of the opinion that the slippery surface of the roads in this area, where there are seven prominent educational institutions, is a threat to the thousands of students, motorists and pedestrians.

They have urged the MCC to install humps to avoid further tragedies.

Think Before You Post! Mangaluru Police Crack Down on Provocative Instagram Accounts

News Network

December 5,2025

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
