It has been disclosed that additional suspects are involved in the incident, and the Suratkal police are actively pursuing them.
On August 31, a case was registered at Suratkal police station against Ghandi Riaz in connection with a disturbance in Kalwar. A peace meeting was convened by Suratkal police in Kalwar on September 3 to address the matter. The accused summoned Abdul Safwan to discuss the incident. Consequently, Abdul Safwan, accompanied by his friend Muhammad Safwan, was riding a motorcycle near the Kalawaru bus stand around 7:30 pm when the suspects Prashant and Dhanraj from the opposite direction intercepted them on their motorcycle and verbally confronted them. Prashantha Dragar, one of the suspects, stabbed the victim in the right armpit.
Kalavaru Ganesh stabbed Safwan's right arm with a knife, while Yajnesha stabbed him in the back. Puneet, Babbu Ganesh, Pradeep, and other accomplices began beating Safwan's friend, Muhammad Safwan, who attempted to intervene and assist. They restrained him forcibly. In his complaint, the victim, Abdul Safwan, stated that when a crowd began to gather, the suspects threatened to kill them and fled the scene.
As a result of the incident, Abdul Safwan sustained injuries to his right armpit, eye, back, and right arm.
The police have indicated that the attack was motivated by suspicions that Abdul Safwan had collaborated with Ghandi Riaz during the disturbance in Kalawar on August 31.

MUDA case: Karnataka HC adjourns hearing till Dec 10
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday adjourned till December 10 the hearing on the plea seeking transfer of the investigation into the MUDA site allotment scam to the CBI. The plea was filed by activist Snehamayi Krishna doubting the credibility of Lokayukta investigation into the matter.
The petitioner told PTI that he approached the HC saying he has no faith in the Lokayukta police and hence the case should be handed over to the CBI.
In the MUDA case, it is alleged that compensatory sites were allotted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the MUDA.
The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where it developed a residential layout.
Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts. It is alleged that Parvathi had no legal title over this 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli of Mysuru taluk.
The Karnataka Lokayukta police and the Enforcement Directorate have launched an investigation into the 'scam'.
The CM has denied any wrongdoing in the alleged scam.
