Mangaluru: In relation to the murder of the 12-year-old Aakif that occurred on Saturday night at a deserted area in K.C Nagar, the Ullal police have arrested the accused Deepak’s father Santhosh.
The police arrested 45-year-old Santhosh for granting refuge to his accused son Deepak, who had murdered Aakif because of a conflict related to a PUBG game.
Reportedly, after killing Aakif, Deepak had gone home to his father and informed him about the murder. The police arrested Santhosh for not informing the authorities about the murder and hiding his son’s crime in the process, it is learned. Santhosh, who is a Lorry driver by profession has been living in Talapady for the last 30 years.
On the night of the murder, when the accused Deepak’s home was visited by folks inquiring about Aakif, Santhosh had pretended to not have any information despite knowing about his son’s crime. He had reportedly hidden the Deepak’s clothing that was worn while committing the crime and had directed his son to not tell anybody about what had occurred that night, Police Commissioner Shashi Kumar informed.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
