Mangalore, Feb 3: A cloth vendor who was running a business on the roadside was found gruesomely murdered on Saturday night, near Nerhu maidan.

The matter came to light on Sunday morning.

The ones who come to Nehru Maidan to play cricket spotted the dead body near the park and instantly called the police.

The police rushed to the spot with dog squad and sent the dead body to Government Wenlock hospital.

The deceased was wearing a grey T-Shirt, brown pant and must be about 35- years-old. The dead body has injuries on the head and forehead suggesting an attack using sharp weapons.

It is suspected that the man must have slept at the spot where the miscreants hacked him to death. Train tickets of Manjeshwra and Uppala were found near the dead body, which hints at two possibilities- first the deceased might hail from either of the places or the killers are from these places.

Case has been registered at Pandeshwara police station.

Mangaluru, Sept 24: A blanket of gloom descended over Dakshina Kannada and Udupi as heavy rains battered the coastal Karnataka districts on Tuesday. Substantial rainfall has been drenching the region since Monday, intensifying as the day progressed.

In Dakshina Kannada, torrential downpours began early Tuesday, followed by overcast skies and humid conditions.

The showers persisted intermittently through the afternoon, with areas like Beltangady experiencing moderate rainfall, while Puttur and Bellare bore the brunt of heavier storms.

Overnight showers were reported in Bantwal, and Mangaluru city, along with its surrounding rural areas, witnessed a steady increase in rainfall, peaking by the evening.

After a brief respite, the return of intense rainfall has brought a welcome drop in temperatures. In Udupi, Karkala, Udupi city, Kundapur, and Hebri taluks all faced substantial rains throughout the day, continuing from late Sunday night.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for the coastal districts, predicting more heavy rainfall in the coming hours.

A yellow alert has been placed for Wednesday, signaling the likelihood of additional downpours. Fishermen have been cautioned to remain vigilant, as the possibility of strong winds looms over the coastal waters.
