Attempt for third marriage: One held
Mangaluru, August 24: The city police have arrested a person on charges of attempting for third marriage here on Friday.
The accused is identified as Ashok L Suvarna (40) of Jeppinamogaru Karambettu in the city. Earlier, he had married twice. When those marriages were continued for long time, he has decided to marry third time. So, he did not reveal about his previous marriages while trying to get marry for the third time.
For the third marriage, Kumuda and Veena, sisters of the accused, had spoken to the mother of bride at Mulki. Believing their words, the family members of the bride agreed for the marriage.
But the family members of Ashok were in a hurry for engagement and marriage. They have finished the engagement on August 24 and fixed the time for marriage on August 26. This urgency has created suspicion and the family members of the bride suspected their moves. When they collected information about Ashok, they came to know about him and his two marriages. Both the wives were not with him now. Following this, the family members of the bride lodged a complaint at Kankanady police who arrested the accused. The police also booked cases against Kumuda and Veena for helping their brother to get marry for the third time hiding the truth. The police are searching for Kumuda and Veena who are at large.

India deploys indigenous ‘suicide drones’ in strikes on terror camps in Pakistan, PoK: Report
New Delhi: In a retaliatory move following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 civilians, the Indian Army reportedly carried out precision strikes on terror camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) using indigenously developed “suicide drones.”
Dubbed Operation Sindoor, the strikes signify a tactical evolution in India’s defence capabilities. According to defence sources, the operation marked the first known use of indigenously-manufactured loitering munition systems in an active combat scenario.
These drones, officially known as Low-Cost Miniature Swarm Drones or Loitering Munitions, are believed to be the SkyStriker variant, a product jointly developed by Bengaluru-based Alpha Design Technologies and Israel’s Elbit Systems.
Unlike traditional UAVs, loitering munitions hover over target areas, identify threats, and strike with precision, effectively blending the features of surveillance drones and guided missiles. Each SkyStriker unit can carry a 5 to 10 kg warhead, has a range of around 100 kilometers, and operates silently due to its electric propulsion, making it ideal for low-altitude, stealth missions.
Sources indicate that the Indian Army placed an emergency order for around 100 SkyStriker drones in 2021, with manufacturing taking place at a facility in western Bengaluru. These drones are considered cost-effective and efficient tools against unconventional threats, providing frontline forces with real-time reconnaissance and offensive capabilities without endangering personnel.
Although there is no official confirmation from the Indian government about the use of these drones, political leaders across party lines have praised the armed forces for the successful execution of Operation Sindoor.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has temporarily suspended flight operations at key airports including Karachi, Lahore, and Sialkot amid heightened tensions.
