Youth rescues woman who jumped into well to commit suicide
Bhatkal: When a woman jumped into a well in an attempt to commit suicide, local youth rescued her from the well, here near APJ Abdul Kalam road of Dongarpalli in the town on Wednesday.
The woman named Aparna Nagaraj Shet (39) jumped into a well near her home, an area which is dominated by Muslims to commit suicide. But the construction workers who noticed her jumping, called the local youth for help.
In what can be called a show of bravery and humanity, a youth Ibrahim Bavala, of Maghdoom colony, with the permission from the police, went down into the well and rescued the woman.
Later, the police admitted the woman to the government hospital and registered a case.
Locals were of the opinion that, had the woman committed suicide without anyone noticing, it would have given communal color by miscreants and would cause tension in the region. They thanked God that it didn't happen and instead a Muslim youth saved her, which now will make things easier between the two communities.

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.

“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.
