Belthangady: In a bone-chilling incident reported on late Wednesday night, a team of 12 individuals, including Sangh Parivar Activists brutally assaulted two men after accusing them of transporting cattle at Melanthabettu in Belthangady Taluk. In this regard, a case has been registered at the Belthangady Police Station.
The victims of the assault have been identified as Abdul Raheem and Muhammad Musthafa. The injured victims have been admitted to the Belthangady government hospital. The police have revealed that four of the accused have already been arrested for their involvement in the violent assault.
Incident Details: It is learned that on Wednesday evening, Abdul Raheem, resident of Kuppetti in Belthangady Taluk, had taken his pick-up vehicle to the town to get the vehicle’s bodywork done.

After finishing dinner, the men had left Abdul Raheem’s relatives’ house around 11 pm and were heading back home when the assaulters unleashed their violence on them.
Their pick-up was reportedly being followed by men in bikes and cars from Savanaali and as they reached Melanthabettu, some bike-borne men came in front of their vehicle and stopped them. At this time, the criminals in the car approached them and said, “You are cattle thieves, you have come to our hometown to steal cattle” and proceeded to verbally abuse them with profanities, whilst dragging both Raheem and Musthafa from their vehicle. Thereafter, the assaulters used iron rods, wooden sticks and violently beat the duo, the police complaint reveals.
The attack by the criminals has left Shareef with injuries to his eye and forehead. The bodies of both the victims, their backs are covered in bruises. The police who received the information reportedly arrived at the scene and dispersed the assaulters and took the severely injured Raheem and Musthafa to the Belthangady Government Hospital.

Erode (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Minor brothers who were awaiting their board exam results have drowned in a canal in this district while spending their Summer holidays at their aunt's place, police said.
According to Arachalure Police, Santhosh, aged 17, and his younger brother Sanjai, aged 15, natives of Musiri village in Tiruchirapalli district, came to Gopaliparai hamlet near Arachalure to their Aunt's house a couple of days ago after writing their annual 12th and 10th examinations, respectively.
The police said on Friday that both boys went to the nearby Lower Bhavani Project canal to take a bath. It was alleged that while taking a bath, both boys went to a deeper area of the canal and went missing.
