Belthangady: A mob assaulted a 40-year-old drunken man and handed him over to police over the suspicion of being a child lifter. He was reportedly going along with his daughter.
A resident of Kakkinje Khalid is the victim who was assaulted by the public.
Khalid, who has reportedly been married to two, was a liquor addict and had quarreled with the second wife. Later, he was allegedly taking away his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. He came to Ujire and was roaming with the baby while intoxicated in the evening. At this point, the baby started crying loudly.
A few rickshaw drivers and other people enquired him, but they were not satisfied with the answers of drunken Khalid. This led them to suspect Khalid to be a child thief. Belthangady Police, who received information about the incident, reached the spot and dispersed the people. The police confirmed that the child was Khalid’s son when they took him and his son into their custody and conducted the inquiry.
Meanwhile, several people who shot the incident on their mobile phones shared it on WhatsApp, which caused fear among people. However, the police have now called the baby's mother and handed over the baby to her.
