Traffic disruption continues on Nethravathi bridge

June 13, 2011

Mangalore, June 13: It would take two more days for restoring normal traffic on the Nethravathi bridge on the National Highway No. 66, according to P N Gawasane, Project Director, National Highways Authority of India, Mangalore.

He said on Sunday that the NHAI had restored the stone masonry wall that had slipped by about seven metres down on Friday with 36 cubic metres of concrete.

Plastic sheets had been laid on top of it to prevent seepage of rainwater.

It would require two more days for curing.

Mr. Gawasane said the road at the approach to the bridge had been asphalted to 15 metres for filling the cracks. A 30-tonne weighing vehicle was operated on the stretch on Sunday to test if the asphalted portion would sink. It did not sink.

He said that grass would be planted on the slope to prevent soil erosion.

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.
