Gang of miscreants attacks three with lethal weapons
Hosangady: A gang of at least 15 miscreants attacked three men with lethal weapons near Hosangady junction and fled the scene on Tuesday night.
The injured have been identified as Hosangady resident Nazeer (37), Phosote resident Atif (20), and Manjeshwar resident Mohammad Ashraf (33). All of them have been hospitalized at a private hospital in Mangaluru.
Latif was working in the juice shop of Nazeer in Hosangady. At around 10 p.m., while closing the juice shop, a gang of miscreants came there on five two-wheelers and brutally attacked with sharp weapons. The group also beat Ashraf who had visited the shop for having juice.
It is reported that the gang members were indulged in the sale of cannabis.
"A few Manjeshwar residents had complained about illegal cannabis business in which the gang was involved. The attack on us took place only for giving the information about the ganja selling," victim Nazeer said.
"Manjeshwar police visited the hospital and collected the information about the incident," Nazeer added.

Indigo flights chaos: SCR to run special trains to clear passenger rush
Hyderabad (PTI): The South Central Railway on Saturday announced that it would run four special trains to manage the surge in passengers resulting from the large-scale cancellation of IndiGo flights here.
The move comes as flyers face significant disruption and long queues at the airport due to the cancellation.
A press release from the SCR said it is running the special trains to clear the extra rush of passengers to Chennai, Mumbai and Shalimar (Kolkata) from Hyderabad today.
Meanwhile, as many as 43 outbound Indigo flights were cancelled from here on Saturday, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport sources said.

Similarly, 26 incoming flights are also likely to be cancelled during the day, they said.
The flight cancellations drew ire from passengers, who thronged the IndiGo counters at the airport demanding to know the exact situation.
“This is utter nonsense! Digiyatra done, message received that departure has been rescheduled ahead of the scheduled departure and now upon arriving at Hyderabad airport coming to know at the security checkpoint that Indigo flight is cancelled,” Tarun Singha, former Ministry of Defence spokesperson said in a post on X.
“But the thing is if you don’t shout they do nothing. Example at Hyderabad Airport, there was no staff no flight information for an hour. Then a fellow passenger started shouting on mic and an Indigo staff appeared finally,” a netizen said in a post.
On Friday, when IndiGo cancelled over 1,000 flights from across airports, its CEO Pieter Elbers apologised in a video message for the major inconvenience caused to passengers due to the disruptions.
In the one-way video communication, Elbers also said that the airline was expecting fewer than 1,000 flights on Saturday.
