Bengaluru: Five-year-old boy injured, after miscreants attack family returning home from shopping
Bengaluru: A five-year-old boy was injured after two miscreants attacked a family of four travelling by car in Kasavanahalli in southeast Bengaluru on Wednesday night.
Anoop George, a techie driving the car, said that his wife and two children were returning home after last-minute Deepavali shopping. “Two men, who were on a two-wheeler, stopped my car, asked to roll down the window, and without any provocation, hit the rear window glass with a piece of rock,” George told Deccan Herald.
The 39-year-old noted that both his children were in the back seat. His five-year-old son required three stitches on his forehead, while his 11-year-old daughter is left traumatised by the incident, as are the parents.
George went to the nearby hospital for treatment and called the police. He wrote on X that the “goons followed us till the Aarogya Hastha Hospital Kasavanahalli”.
George filed a complaint with the Parappana Agrahara police on Thursday morning. “Suspects have been identified and very serious action will be taken,” the Parappana Agrahara police posted on X.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
