Ujire : Man who was with son assaulted over suspicion of child lifter
Belthangady: A mob assaulted a 40-year-old drunken man and handed him over to police over the suspicion of being a child lifter. He was reportedly going along with his daughter.
A resident of Kakkinje Khalid is the victim who was assaulted by the public.
Khalid, who has reportedly been married to two, was a liquor addict and had quarreled with the second wife. Later, he was allegedly taking away his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. He came to Ujire and was roaming with the baby while intoxicated in the evening. At this point, the baby started crying loudly.
A few rickshaw drivers and other people enquired him, but they were not satisfied with the answers of drunken Khalid. This led them to suspect Khalid to be a child thief. Belthangady Police, who received information about the incident, reached the spot and dispersed the people. The police confirmed that the child was Khalid’s son when they took him and his son into their custody and conducted the inquiry.
Meanwhile, several people who shot the incident on their mobile phones shared it on WhatsApp, which caused fear among people. However, the police have now called the baby's mother and handed over the baby to her.

MP: Woman, lover conspire to get husband killed; police looking for contract killer
Dhar (MP) (PTI): A 25-year-old woman and her lover have been arrested in the district for allegedly conspiring to kill her husband by hiring a contract killer, police said on Thursday.
The case was solved within 36 hours of the murder though the woman initially tried to mislead the police by claiming that robbers killed her husband, an official said.
Dev Krishna Purohit (28) was stabbed to death on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday at his house in Gondikheda Charan village, about 60 km from here.
Superintendent of Police Mayank Awasthi told reporters that accused Priyanka Purohit (25) was married to Dev Krishna when she was around 15 years old. Priyanka moved to her matrimonial home after attaining adulthood but was unwilling to live with her husband, leading to frequent disputes between them.
During investigation, it emerged that she was in a relationship with Kamlesh (32), the SP said.
The duo allegedly hatched a plan to kill Dev Krishna and hired a man identified as Surendra for Rs 1 lakh do the job, he said
After Dev Krishna was killed, Priyanka told police that unidentified persons broke into the house, attacked her husband with a sharp weapon while holding her captive in another room, and fled with valuables.
But the inconsistencies in her statements raised suspicion, and eventually she confessed to hatching the murder conspiracy, the SP said.
While she and Kamlesh were arrested, police are looking for the contract killer, the official added.
