Mangalore, Oct 2: Suratkal police arrested three persons who said to have posed life threat to one Abubakkar of Kulai on Wednesday October 1. Abubakkar is the senior district leader of KFD. Since the incident gave rise to tension in the vicinity, RAF personnel have been deployed to fortify security.
The arrested have been identified as Ramesh (24), a resident of Bantwal, Rajesh (26), a resident of Kana- Katla and Lokesh (24), a resident of Koudikere. They have been accused of attempting to assault Abubakkar.
Two motorcycle-borne youth with their faces covered arrived at Abubakkar’s house at Kulai around 9.30 on Wednesday morning. Since the latter had gone out for prayer, they said to have abused his family members and posed life threat. As they left the place, Abubakkar’s wife noted down the registration number of their bike and informed Abubakkar of the incident.
When Abubakkar arrived home, the miscreants once again arrived and tried to assault him. But neighbours caught and handed them over to Suraktal police. A complaint too was filed in the Suratkal police station in this regard. The police also recovered lethal weapons from the arrested duo.
The arrested Rajesh however, informed the police that he had gone to Kulaigudde, to deliver an invitation of his wedding. But some persons caught him and handed him over to the police.
Counter-complaint:
Meanwhile Rajesh and Ramesh lodged a counter complaint at the police station, stating that they were assaulted by Abubakkar and his friends as they were going on their mobike.
SP Satheesh Kumar arrived at Suratkal police station and directed the security arrangements. Inspector Jayant Shetty of SP’s special squad, Panambur inspector Chandrashekhar and Suraktal inspector Arun R Nayak are overseeing the security arrangements.
