Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, Nov 15: Relating to the murder attempt on Ravindra from Gurpur, also known as Ravi Salian, an auto rickshaw driver and activist of Bajrang Dal, the police reportedly have collected important clues. They have rounded up a number of persons, and begun questioning them about their possible involvement with this case.
It may be recalled that miscreants who had arrived in a Maruti Omni van, had intercepted Ravindra’s auto rickshaw at Kandavar Padavu on Sunday afternoon. They had fled after attacking him with lethal weapons. Apparently, they would have finished him off before fleeing, but for the appearance of some vehicles on the road at that time. The vehicle used by the attackers was later found abandoned at Farangipet. Ravindra in the meantime, is recovering in a private hospital in the city, and the doctors have applied stitches on his wounds, the police revealed.
police and personnel of other security contingents have been posted at Gurpur Kaikamba, Gurpur town, Bajpe etc to oversee law and order situation.
The needle of suspicion of the police, it is said, points towards a person who was accused in the murder of Hindu outfit leader, Sukhananda Shetty, a few years ago. The police, besides keeping vigil on the movement of suspected persons, have also taken up steps to summon all the persons finding their names in the rowdy sheets maintained in different police stations. Commissioner of police, Seemant Kumar Singh, has instructed the police stations to get bonds executed by these rowdies. Sources also said that a plan to parade the rowdies is also has been envisaged.
