A man was arrested in Mangaluru for allegedly keeping a pistol without authorisation at his rented accommodation, police said on Tuesday.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru city police carried out a surprise inspection inside the Dakshina Kannada district prison here on Sunday.

Mangaluru: Ullal police here intercepted a car in which a person from Kerala was carrying Rs 7.95 lakh cash without proper documents, police sources said.

The anti-toll gate action committee, which spearheaded the successful agitation against the toll gate at Surathkal here, has asked voters in the districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi to defeat the BJP in the ensuing Assembly elections for imposing hefty hike in toll charges on highways.

The Dakshina Kannada district administration has stepped up vigil at the border points with Kerala to prevent flow of money and freebies to Karnataka ahead of the assembly elections in May.
