Ullal Police removes provocative flex
Mangaluru, Feb 18: Ullal police on Sunday night removed a flex put up by Sangha Pariwar at Ullal Byle, sources said.
In the name of Vishwa Hindu Parishat Bajrang Dal, Sri Vaidyanath Chhatrapathi branch of Ullala Byle had installed a provocative flex in view of recent terror attack on CRPF jawans at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, at Ullala Byle.
The flex added that the ‘Minority communities’ have been laughing over the death of soldiers and the enemies of the country lives within our country and not outside India.
The flex had further added screenshots of Facebook posts from a page ‘Mangalore Muslims’.
Suspecting that the installing of such flexes can create law and order situation, a few local organisations approached local police to remove the flex in order to maintain peace in the region.
Based on their complaint, police summoned the organization’s leaders and removed the flex, sources said.
On a Facebook page ‘Mangalore Muslims’ a few debatable posts were uploaded, to which the Muslim organisations requested the police to find out the admin and initiate action.
Cyber police wing has so far failed to find out the root of the Facebook page.

Silver heist: Three detained in Chikkaballapur
Chikkaballapur (PTI): A gang of unidentified men struck a jewellery store here and decamped with around 140 kg of silver ornaments valued at nearly Rs three crore, police said on Wednesday.
According to the police, the burglars broke open the shop’s shutter and door locks on Monday night and carried out the theft without leaving behind any immediate clues.
The burglary came to light on Tuesday morning when shop staff arrived to open the showroom and found the locks broken, following which the police were informed.

Officials visited the spot and conducted an inspection.
“Special teams were formed to trace the accused, and efforts were intensified after it was found that the thieves had also stolen the CCTV DVR from the premises,” a police officer said.
The burglars entered the shop at 12.10 am and spent over three hours. Initially, they attempted to break open the lock using an iron rod, but later cut it using a cutter to gain entry.
The accused reportedly filled three bags with silver ornaments and fled the scene at around 3.10 am. The entire incident was captured on CCTV footage.
The police have detained three suspects in connection with the case.
Further investigation is underway to ascertain whether they were involved in similar crimes elsewhere, police added.
