Udupi, June 2: Former minister and Mangaluru MLA UT Khader hailed the efforts of the Udupi police for the speedy investigation into the suspicious death of cattle trader Hussainabba of Jokatte.

Speaking to Varthabharati, he said that the Udupi SP has taken the issue seriously and suspended a PSI who has failed to discharge his duties properly. Moreover, the SP has taken action against the accused in the incident. These measures would definitely boost the confidence among people, he said.

Apart from the police, the family members of Hussainabba and the villagers have exhibited their maturity without taking the incident into excess. This would definitely spread a good message to the society, he said.

Unfortunately, some people would get happiness just by blowing such sensitive incidents out of proportion and create law and order situation in the society which is condemnable. Mangaluru police have arrested two persons on charges of spreading rumours. If the police took suitable decisions on time, anti-social elements could be controlled efficiently, he said.
