On October 17, an auto-driver Santosh was attacked by unidentified assailants wherein he had sustained severe injuries and was admitted to a private hospital for treatment.
According to the reports Santosh was attacked when he was on his way to home on October 17. He was stopped by two accused who came on black two-wheeler. The accused then stabbed Santosh on his hands and legs and escaped from the crime scene after the attack, leaving Santosh in the pool of blood. Santosh was rushed to hospital by locals. He is currently recovering at the hospital.
Initial investigation has revealed that the accused and Santosh were all part of a organisation and Santosh had parted ways from the organisation two years ago due to conflict of interest. Santosh reportedly had issues with the ideology of the organisation and was opposing it. The opposition of the organisation had triggered the attack on October 17, police sources added.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
