While Ibrahim Nafsan (30), was attacked with a sword by a gang of five miscreants near Veerabhadra Temple early on Monday morning, when he was on the way to fishing port from Ullal, three others youths were attacked late on Monday night at Thokkottu inner-town.

Gang of five miscreants

In both cases a gang of five miscreants intercepted motorbikes and attacked the riders with lethal weapons. Fortunately all four victims survived the murder bid and undergoing treatment in different hospitals.

It is not yet confirmed whether the same gang carried out both the attacks or not.

In the second case, three youths identified as Safwan (20), Nizam (19) and Saleem (24), all residents of Pilar village, were intercepted and attacked with sharp weapons when they were returning home together on a two-wheeler.

A critically injured Swafwan is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mangaluru while two others, who are out of danger, are recuperating in a private hospital in Thokkottu.

It is learnt that the trio was returning home on a motorbike after finishing catering work at a marriage function at Maddadka. Their motorbike was waylaid at Thokkottu inner-town by the five miscreants who randomly targeted Safwan first and then attacked the other two.
Despite he was stabbed by the miscreant, Safwan started running and after reaching Kapikad he contacted one of his friends and narrated the incident. Soon his friends Abdul Samad and Nazrat reached the spot and took him to a hospital.

Hid in bushes till morning

On the other hand, Nizam, who was riding the motorbike, too escaped after the assault. He had gone missing for a few hours as search for him by police and family members went in vain till Tuesday morning.

Finally, he returned to the spot of attack to give complete details to the police. He said that he had been hiding amidst bushes near Kapikad.

He revealed that the assailants had come in two two-wheelers – a white Honda Activa and a black motorbike. According to unconfirmed sources the miscreants are residents of Krishnanagar and Ganeshnagar in Thokkottu.

Revenge for Rajesh Kotian murder?

Meanwhile, rumours doing the rounds that the miscreants are trying to take revenge for the coldblooded murder of Mogaveera community leader Rajesh Kotian, who was hacked to death on April 12 under the limits of Ullal police station.

Saffron forces had also warned to take the law into their hands if the police failed to catch all the accused in connection with Kotian murder case.

Meanwhile, security has been intensified in Ullal and surrounding areas. Additional forces including KSRP and CISF were deployed to prevent recurrence of untoward incidents in the sensitive region.

Bengaluru, Jan 4: Kannada star Dr Shivarajkumar, son of Kannada film legend Dr Rajkumar, has been discharged from the hospital in Miami, US, following complete recovery from cancer, family sources confirmed on Saturday.

Nivedita, Shivarajkumar’s daughter, has shared a picture showing the actor and family in a relaxed mode. Sources further stated that Shivarajkumar will be in the US for follow-ups and resting for one month and he will be back for the shooting by Feb first or the second week.

Shivarajkumar is expected to begin shooting of the Telugu superstar Ramcharan-starrer pan India movie soon. 

Earlier, Shivarajkumar shared a video from the US on the first day of 2025, detailing his journey of overcoming cancer and assuring fans of his return.

In the video, he conveyed his New Year wishes to everyone and said, “I am hesitant to speak as I might get emotional at this moment. Leaving Karnataka was a very emotional experience for me. Under these circumstances, fear is inevitable, but the support of my fans has significantly reduced it.”

He continued, “The way the doctors took care of me, gave me immense courage. While shooting for the movie ‘45’, I underwent chemotherapy and even filmed the climax fight scene. As the date to leave for the US for treatment approached, I became anxious. However, my wife Geetha and daughter Nivedita stood by me throughout.”

“Dr Manohar, who treated me, cared for me like a child. My urinary bladder has been replaced, but there is no need for anyone to panic. I am doing well and will be back with double the energy. I thank all my fans for their unwavering support,” Shivarajkumar assured.

Geetha Shivarajkumar, his wife, who had appeared in the video alongside him, stated that all the medical reports had come back negative, and it was officially declared that Shivarajkumar is cancer-free. “He recovered because of the blessings of his fans, and I will never forget this,” she said.

The actor underwent surgery at a hospital in Miami, US, where his cancerous bladder was removed. According to the surgeon, Dr Murugesh Manoharan, an artificial bladder was created using Shivarajkumar’s intestine.

In November, Shivarajkumar had spoken publicly about his illness, acknowledging that he was human like everyone else. While he didn’t disclose it was cancer at the time, he said, “At the end of the day, I am a human being. I have a health issue and am currently undergoing treatment for it. I have completed a couple of treatment sessions, and a few more are pending. After that, I will undergo surgery, either in India or the US.”

Mandya: A 21-year-old man died after he allegedly blew himself up with a gelatin stick in front of the house of a girl he was in love with after her family rejected him, police said on Monday.

The incident occurred at Kalenahalli village of Mandya district on early Sunday morning, they said.

According to police, Ramachandra was in a relationship with a minor girl. Last year, he was booked under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after he eloped with the girl. He was arrested in the case and spent three months in jail as an under-trial.

After getting released from jail, he entered into a compromise with the girl's family and the case was refuted in the court. But later, he started calling the girl and continued to maintain his relationship with her, police said.

Apparently, the girl's family was planning to get the girl married to someone else once she attained the legal age, a senior police officer said.

Ramachandra, a resident of a neighbouring village in Nagamangala taluk was allegedly upset with the girl's family for rejecting him. Suddenly on Sunday, he reached in front of the minor girl's house and detonated the gelatin stick he carried with him and the explosion claimed his life on the spot, the officer added.

Based on the complaint from the deceased person's family, calling it suspicious death, a case has been registered, police said. His family was in quarrying business and that's how he got access to gelatin stick, police said.

Udupi: In a shocking case of investment fraud, a 72-year-old man from Udupi, Karnataka, lost Rs 49 lakh after falling prey to a deceptive stock market scheme. The incident highlights the growing menace of online scams targeting unsuspecting individuals.

According to the complaint filed by Francis Castelino, an unknown individual added his son's mobile number to a WhatsApp group titled "Stock Market Navigation." The group shared stock market insights and promised lucrative returns, convincing Castelino’s son to invest. Trusting the information, the son persuaded his father to make substantial investments.

On December 30, 2024, Castelino transferred Rs 17,00,000, his wife contributed Rs 10,50,000, and their son invested Rs 21,50,000 to the bank account provided by the fraudsters. 

However, when Castelino attempted to withdraw the invested money, he and his family were pressured to reinvest further. Realizing that the promised profits and their principal amount were not forthcoming, the family approached the police for help.

A case has been registered at the Udupi CEN Police Station under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and 318(4) BNS. Investigations are underway to track down the culprits and recover the lost funds.
