Mangaluru: Sangh parivar activists attack youth with swords on suspicion of cow transport
Turns out the youth was transporting Mangoes
Mangaluru: Sangh Parivar activists attacked a youth with sword on the suspicion of illegal cow transportation, near Silver gate in Kulashekhar Nagar on Sunday morning.
The victim has been identified as Umar Farooq (32), a resident of Ulaibettu. The accused have fled the scene.
Incident detail: A tempo goods vehicle owned by Umar Farooq was transporting a load of Mango fruits from Ulaibettu to Mangaluru market at about 4:30 am on Sunday. When the vehicle reached near Kulashekhar Silvergate, a gang of three Sangh Parivar miscreants, who approached on a bike, reportedly intercepted the tempo.
The miscreants asked Umar Farooq if the cow was being transported through the goods tempo. Farooq replied that mangoes were being transported in the vehicle. They then abused Farooq over his cast and dragged him out of the vehicle.
Observing the situation, the driver of the vehicle, Ashfaq, ran to his safety; but Farooq was not fortunate enough to save himself from the attack. Consequently, the miscreants assaulted him with a sword and an iron rod before fleeing the location; injured Farooq informed Varthabharati.
The victim sustained serious injuries on his leg, hand, and back. He was rushed to a private hospital in Mangaluru for the treatment.
Mangaluru city police visited the spot and launched the investigation. The vehicle loaded with mangoes has been taken to Kankanady city station.
Kankanady town police have registered a case in this regard.
2 suspects arrested: Mangaluru police have arrested two suspects in connection with this incident. The interrogation of the accused and investigation is on, said Police Commissioner Sandeep Patil.

Army operationalises 3D concrete printing tech for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts
Gangtok (PTI): The Indian Army, in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, has operationalised on-site 3D concrete printing technology for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts and protective structures in forward areas of Sikkim, a Defence statement said.
The capability -- already proven in other operational areas earlier -- has been effectively employed by the Trishakti Corps in the Himalayan state, it said.
"The indigenous robotic 3D concrete printer, equipped with a robotic arm, circular mixer, piston pump and generator, is fully vehicle-portable and optimised for rapid movement in mountainous terrain," the statement said.
The printed structures have undergone live ballistic trials, validating their strength and protective performance.
The 3D concrete printing provides major operational advantages, including customised designs, enhanced blast and ballistic resistance, higher compressive strength, improved quality control, efficient use of local materials and rapid construction in tactically acceptable timelines.
It also supports terrain-specific designs and advanced camouflage needs.
The continued adoption of on-site 3D printing represents a significant leap in the Army's engineering and operational readiness, enabling fast, sustainable, and mission-oriented infrastructure development in challenging environments, it added.
