Two hospitalised after Ullal Dargah fight

June 18, 2011

Mangalore, Jun 18: Two persons were hospitalised after a fight broke out in the premises of Sayyid Madani Dargah in Ullal on Saturday.

The injured, who are recovering at Nethaji Hospital in Tokkottu, have been identified as Zakir Hussain (40) a resident of Mukkacheri and Abdul Kabeer Bhukari (45), a resident of Melengady.

The row erupted following the appointment of Ashraf Ahmad as the ad-hoc president of the Dargah and the Central Jumma Masjid on Friday. It is alleged that a group of nearly a dozen people supported by Ashraf Ahmad was behind the assault.

Following a much delayed dissolution of the management committee of the Dargah and its Masjid last week an election was held to choose 50 members for the new committee, 10 each from five zones such as Alekala, Melangady, Kotepura, Mukkacheri and Kallapu Kariya.

However, the meeting of new committee convened on Friday to nominate five office bearers, concluded in dispute. Amidst the confusion, Ullal Assistant Qazi Syed Koorath Thangal, who presided over the meeting declared Ashraf Ahmed as ad-hoc president.

Outgoing president UK Monu has declined to comment on the issue.

Ashraf Ahmad

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.
