DC, commissioner rubbish curfew rumours, say situation under control in Ullal; 75 held

February 7, 2014

Mangalore, Feb 7: In a disgusting development, local media too have joined the “rumour mission” launched by trouble mongers in Ullal. A Mangalore based news portal on Friday went on to claim that police had imposed curfew in Ullal.

The rumours of curfew and violence caused fresh tensions in Ullal and surrounding areas which were slowly returning to normalcy.

However, Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner A B Ibrahim and Mangalore City Police Commissioner R Hithendra brushed aside the rumours of curfew.

Both of them asserted that situation was under control in Ullal.

Mr Ibrahim urged the people not to pay attention to the false rumours.

“The town is returning to normalcy. Prohibitory orders under section 144 have been imposed in the region for two days,” he said.

He also said that security measures have been stepped up across Masjids in Ullal and surrounding areas and police have been asked to keep vigil during Juma prayers.

Mr Hithendra stated that around 65 persons have been arrested and 10 more persons have been detained in connection with the various untoward incidents.

He said that additional police have been deployed in sensitive areas and around places of worships to prevent recurrence of untoward incidents.

Meanwhile, in a message to the local Muslims, U S Hamza, president of Ullal Juma Masjid, said that police have requested to finish Juma prayers between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Udupi, Nov 7: In a tragic turn of events, a young woman, Prasanna, aged 29, allegedly died by suicide on Wednesday, struggling to cope with the demands of work and motherhood after the birth of her daughter, according to police reports.

Prasanna had married on December 2, 2022, and was the mother of a 10-month-old baby girl. Her husband works in Bengaluru, while she lived with her in-laws, who, according to her family, treated her kindly.

In a complaint, Prasanna's mother revealed that her daughter often called her, expressing deep concerns over her readiness for motherhood. Despite receiving supportive care from her family, Prasanna felt unprepared and overwhelmed by the balance of work and home life that early motherhood required.

Her family shared that she had been undergoing treatment, but between 10 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday, she allegedly took her own life at her husband’s residence. The Karkala Rural Police Station has registered a case and is conducting further investigations.
