Bantwal, March 15: In a bizarre incident, unknown thieves have stolen gold jewellery from the vanity bag of a woman, while she was travelling in a private bus on Tuesday afternoon.

Mohini, a 28 year old resident of Manila Taridala, who works at a company in Baikampady near Mangalore, has lost her gold necklace, ear-ring, finger ring and bangle, onboard Vitla-Pakkalakunja bus.

Thieves have used blade or some other sharp thing to cut her bag when she was standing amidst the rush. Although Mohini had got a seat after boarding the bus in Vitla bus stand, she vacated it for a mother and child on basis of humanity at the next stop and stood up. It is assumed that thieves might have stolen the jewellery at this time.

When the bus reached the Ukkuda stand, somebody noticed the ATM card of the woman lying on the floor of the bus and informed her. When she picked it up and put inside her bag, she found the bag slit and jewellery inside it were missing.

A case has been registered at Vitla police station.

Mangaluru: Six youths including teenagers have been arrested by the Bantwal Rural Police in connection with a brutal assault on 21-year-old Aboobakar (name changed to hide identity), an incident that was widely shared on social media after footage revealed the victim tied to a pole and violently beaten.

The arrested individuals, all from Kanchinadkapadavu, Sajipanadu village in Ullal Taluk, have been identified as Mohammad Sapwan (25), Mohammad Rizwan (25), Irfan (27), Anis Ahmad (19), Nasir (27), and Shakeer (18). According to police reports, the assault took place on November 7 in Kanchinadkapadavu.

The sequence of events began when Aboobakar was reportedly called to a residence in Kanchinadkapadavu by a female relative. Upon his arrival, he was confronted by the accused, who questioned his presence, tied him to a pole with ropes, and attacked him while he was shirtless. 

Aboobakar managed to file a police complaint the following day, detailing the assault. As his injuries worsened, he was admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru.

While in the hospital, Aboobakar alleged that his attackers intended to kill him during the assault. This statement led to additional charges of attempted murder being filed. 

Police officials stated that the suspects were subsequently apprehended, charged with group assault and attempted murder, and placed in judicial custody. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited.
