Ujire : Man who was with son assaulted over suspicion of child lifter
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.

Argument over bike accident leads to murder, triggers mob violence, arson in Ahmedabad; 2 held
Ahmedabad (PTI): A man was killed in a violent altercation triggered by a motorcycle accident in Dhandhuka in Gujarat's Ahmedabad district on Saturday, after which several shops were set on fire, a police official said.
Two men from different communities clashed this afternoon after their motorcycles collided, which intensified when members of one group went to the house of the other individual involved in the accident, he said.
"During the confrontation, Dharmesh Gamara (30) was stabbed in the leg with a knife. He later died due to excessive bleeding. Following his death, tensions flared, and a group of people set ablaze seven to eight roadside shops. Several properties were damaged," Ahmedabad Rural Superintendent of Police Om Prakash Jat said.
Videos circulating on social media showed small shops engulfed in flames, with thick black smoke rising in the area.
Police and fire brigade teams rushed to the scene and brought the situation under control, Jat told PTI.
"The fires have been doused," he said, adding that house-to-house combing and patrolling were underway in the area to identify those involved in the arson.
Two persons identified as Samir and Rizwan have been arrested for alleged involvement in the killing of Gamara, while 15-20 persons have been detained in connection with the arson, police said.
