June 15, 2011

Mangalore, June 15: There are weapons hidden in Mangalore jail, said Rashid Malbari, an associate of underworld don Chotta Shakeel, who was produced before a court here on Wednesday under tight security.

Malbari, who was arrested in 2008 allegedly for having nexus with the underworld and for allegedly collecting hafta has already spent several months at Hindalga central jail in Belgaum.

He was brought to the city on Monday, June 13, was locked up in Mangalore jail until producing him before Judicial Magistrate First Class Court (JMFC).

After the trail, Malbari told media persons that he was attacked by one Sharan inside the jail at around 9:45 am today (Wednesday, June 15) despite the presence of Jail Superintendent.

Accusing the Superintendent of doing nothing to stop the attacker, Malabari repeated thrice that weapons were hidden inside Mangalore jail.

Security Concern:

As Rashid's many hearings are undertaken by JMFC here, police have to bring him to Mangalore every time amid tight security.

“It is a big responsibility on part of the police to take any underworld don from one place to another place” said one of the officials of State Reserved Police, which bears the responsibility of Malbari's security.

Malbari is expected to be taken back to Belgaum later in the day or on Thursday.

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.
