Mangaluru, Apr 17: A woman head constable attached to the Cyber, Economic and Narcotics (CEN) police station here has been suspended for allegedly taking part in a rave party recently at a resort in Hassan district.

City police commissioner N Shashi Kumar told reporters here on Saturday that the head constable has been suspended for "misuse of power."

She had allegedly claimed to the raid team at the resort that she was from the crime branch department in Mangaluru.

The commissioner said she also reportedly argued with the police officers who conducted the raid at the resort.

Senior police officials will hold a probe into the issue, Kumar said.

A police team had conducted a raid on a rave party at a resort at Honkaravalli in Alur taluk of Hassan district in the early hours of April 12.

Several youths from Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Udupi had attended the party, which was held violating all Covid-19 guidelines, police sources said.

Dubai (PTI): Wicketkeeper-batter Abhigyan Kundu on Tuesday created history with first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India, scoring an unbeaten against Malaysia in the U-19 Asia Cup match here.

The 17-year-old Kundu thus recorded only the second instance of a double century in Youth ODIs after South Africa's Jorich Van Schalkwyk, who had scored 215 off 153 balls against Zimbabwe earlier this year in Harare.

Batting at No 5, the left-handed Kundu hit an overall 19 fours and seven sixes to smash 209 not out off only 125 balls.

His knock powered India U-19 to a huge 408 for seven batting first.

Earlier in the same tournament, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had scored a 95-ball 171 against the UAE, which is overall the ninth highest individual score in the format.
