Kasargod, Dec 11: Unknown miscreants set fire to a political leader's house in Kumble on Thursday December 11. Fortunately, the occupants of the house managed to escape unscathed.
Mohammed from Bambrana P K Nagar, a member of the district Muslim League, is the owner of the house which was set on fire.
As per details, the occupants of the house heard some sound in the morning at 3 o'clock which woke them up. They were horrified to realize that their house was burning with the fire in the kitchen. They immediately informed the neighbours who helped to extinguish the fire in time before it could reach the gas cylinder.
The kitchen part of the house has been damaged badly. It has been conclusively discovered that the miscreants had thrown papers and waste cloths from the window with kerosene before setting fire.
The role of sand mafia has been strongly suspected as Mohammed had shown his displeasure on the illegal sand mining in the area.
Kumble police have registered the complaint and are investigating the case.
