Four arrested for assaulting man after he rejected marriage proposal for his daughter in Uppinangady
Uppinangady: Local police on Monday arrested four people for allegedly breaking into a house and assaulting a man and his family. The accused assaulted and attempted to kill the man and his family after he rejected the marriage proposal of one of the gang members for his daughter.
The arrested accused have been identified as Muhammed Nizamuddin (25), Toufeeq (20), Abdul Salim (23), and Muhammed Shafeek (22). The police are currently on the lookout for the two other accused in this case, identified as Sameer and Nasir.
The arrests were made based on a complaint filed by Tahirah (38), a resident of Ayodhya Nagar at Biliyur village in Bantwal Taluk.
In her complaint, Tahirah revealed that the gang of youngsters comprising Muhammed Nizamuddin, Toufeeq, Abdul Salim, Muhammed Shafeek, Sameer, and Nasir had broken into her residence on Friday around 11.15 pm.
After forcing their way into the house, the accused men verbally abused her husband Usman Beary and her children. Amid this when her son-in-law Yusuf arrived home, he was assaulted by the accused gang.
When Usman Beary tried to intervene and stop the assault, Nizamuddin stabbed the former in the chest. The gang carrying wooden sticks and stones also assaulted the victims with their bare hands and threatened their lives, Tahirah accused in the police complaint.
According to the police complaint, Usman Beary had previously rejected Nizamuddin’s marriage proposal and refused to give the youngster his daughter’s hand in marriage. Angered by this rejection, Nizamuddin had assembled a gang, broke into Usman’s residence, and carried out the deed.
An injured Usman Beary has been admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru.
The accused arrested in the case by the police have been produced before the court.

National Herald case: Shivakumar to seek time next week to appear before Delhi police
New Delhi/Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Monday said he will ask for time from Delhi police to appear before them next week, to provide required information as part of the probe into the National Herald case.
He said he will seek time after the ongoing winter session of Karnataka legislature ends on December 19. He will also ask the Delhi police to provide him the FIR copy.
Shivakumar, who is in the national capital, had earlier said that he will appear before the Delhi police on Monday. But, he postponed the plan in order to rush back to Karnataka to participate in the last rites of veteran Congress leader Shamanuru Shivashankarappa, scheduled later in the day in Davangere.
"I had to go (to appear before the Delhi police), but I have to go back urgently. I'm asking them for time, stating that I will come next week," Shivakumar told reporters in New Delhi.
"They (Delhi police) have not attached the FIR copy while issuing notice to me. I need FIR copy, because we had already given all the required replies to the ED. I don't know what the FIR says, I only read in papers. They have given notice, I will ask for a FIR copy. I will come next week after the Assembly session."
The Delhi Police had issued a notice to Shivakumar, who is also the Karnataka Congress chief, seeking financial and transactional details as part of its probe into the National Herald case.
The notice issued by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) states that Shivakumar is "supposed to be having vital information" pertaining to the National Herald case registered on October 3 this year, against top Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
In the notice dated November 29, the EOW had asked Shivakumar to appear before it or provide the requested information by December 19 latest.
Investigators have sought details about his personal background, his association with the Congress party, and a complete break up of funds allegedly transferred by him or associated entities to Young Indian.
To a question on meeting AICC General Secretaries K C Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala, amid the ongoing power tussle between him and CM Siddaramaiah over the Chief Minister post, Shivakumar said when he comes to Delhi, he usually meets every one.
"Whether it is Surjewala or Kharge (AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge) or Venugopal, I will meet everyone. During lunch yesterday I met Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. I have met everyone. What's wrong?" he asked.
Shivakumar was in Delhi to take part in Congress' "Vote Chori" rally on Sunday, and had also participated in the lunch organised by the party for its leaders.
Responding to a question, whether any meeting is planned with leaders today, the Deputy CM said, he and Kharge will be travelling together to Karnataka, to pay last respects to Shamanuru Shivashankarappa.
Asked if he will seek time for a separate meeting with Congress leadership including Rahul Gandhi, during the next visit to Delhi, Sivakumar said, "such things will be there between us in the party.... you don't worry."
