Mangalore, May 22: Three persons, who had tried to kill Vithal Salian (48), a development officer with an insurance company, on Tuesday May 19 relating to some financial dealings, were arrested by the Suratkal policemen. Reportedly, one of the daily deposit collectors of the finance firm Salian has been running in the name of his wife had hatched the murder plot as Salian had questioned him about some financial irregularities and failure to pay up his dues. The policemen also recovered the weapons used by the alleged culprits.
On being produced in the court, the court remanded them to judicial custody for 14 days. The accused are Vivek Amin (22), Shailesh (18) and Santosh (18) from Katipalla Third Block.
