Udupi: Three persons were arrested on Saturday for their alleged involvement in a clash between members of a gang here and lethal weapons were seized from them, police said.

According to police, there were four people each in two cars and they engaged in street fight at Kunjibettu in Udupi town police limits on May 18 night. They all belong to the 'Garuda Gang'.

The members tried to attack each other with weapons to 'settle' a real estate dispute, they said.

After the video of the street fight went viral, the police swung into action and arrested three persons identified as Ashiq, Raquib, and Saqlain. The police also confiscated knives and two cars.

''An FIR has been registered at Udupi town police station in this regard. We are in hot pursuit of the other individuals involved in the incident who were found absconding,'' said Superintendent of police, Arun K.

The CCTV footage showed a white car reversing and ramming a grey vehicle before speeding away, while one of the occupants brandishing a sword is seen running behind it. The white car then knocks him down leaving him injured.

Taking to 'X', the Karnataka unit of the BJP on Saturday shared the purported video of the incident and slammed the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government for the alleged ''deteriorating law and order situation'' in the state and used hashtag #CongressFailsKarnataka.

''Karnataka model! Gang wars, rape of young women, assault, murder, bomb blasts, ganja, opium, rave parties, including Pakistani Zindabad slogans etc. @INCKarnataka are common under government rule. Anarchy is created today as a result of the government giving free hand to the terrorists, fanatics, thugs, miscreants @siddaramaiah and making police a puppet,'' the party alleged in a post in Kannada.

''This is the Karnataka model that Congress is showing to the country!,'' the party further alleged.

New Delhi: A video of JDU MP Devesh Chandra Thakur expressing his displeasure towards the Yadav and Muslim communities of his constituency at Sitamarhi in Bihar has gone viral on Monday. In the controversial video, Thakur is seen openly stating that he wouldn’t work for people from the two communities, reported ABP Live.

At a felicitation ceremony organized by the Prathmik Shikshak Sangh in Sitamarhi, Thakur let his frustration out for alleged lack of support from the Yadav and Muslim communities in the recent Lok Sabha elections. He said that during his 22 years in politics, he had worked the most for these two communities. However, they hadn’t supported him during the elections, he accused.

"If Yadavs and Muslims see PM Modi's face in the arrow mark while casting their vote for me, why shouldn’t I see the face of Lalu and the lantern while working for them? My Yadav and Muslim brothers, please come, drink tea, eat sweets, but do not talk about your needs; because I won’t work for you”, he stated at the event.

Devesh Chandra Thakur recently won the Lok Sabha seat from Sitamarhi, defeating Arjun Rai of the Rashtriya Janata Dal by 51,356 votes. Thakur secured 515,719 votes, while Arjun Rai received 464,363 votes, and Saikua Nawaz Azmat came third with 28,912 votes. Thakur also holds the position of the Chairman of the Bihar Legislative Council.
