Kasargod man arrested for assaulting custom officer at Bengaluru Airport
Bengaluru: A 44-year-old international passenger, identified as Gafoor Valiya Peedikayil from Kasaragod, was arrested on Monday for assaulting a Bengaluru Customs officer at Terminal 2 of the airport.
According to airport sources, Gafoor had arrived in Bengaluru on Jazeera flight J9 431 from Kuwait City. Upon disembarking, he proceeded towards the green channel but was stopped by Customs superintendent Ashutosh Thapaliyal, who requested to see his passport.
Suspicion arose when Gafoor began behaving unusually. Thapaliyal asked him to wait and answer a few questions. However, Gafoor's responses were evasive, and he soon escalated the situation by shouting and eventually physically assaulting the officer. Gafoor was then arrested and handed over to the authorities.

Minor boy strangled to death for ransom in UP's Sultanpur
Sultanpur (PTI): A debt-ridden neighbour allegedly kidnapped and murdered an 11-year-old boy boy at Sultanpur, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, Asif alias Sonu, demanded a ransom of Rs 5,00,000 for releasing Osama alias Sahil to repay his debts, Kotwali police station SHO Naradmuni Singh said.
"The incident took place in the Gandhinagar locality of Sultanpur. The victim's father, Mohd Shakeel, said his son went missing on Monday night after he left to attend a wedding procession. Despite searches, there was no trace of the child," the SHO said.
On Wednesday morning, Osama's body with strangulation marks was found at the residence of the accused whom the police arrested, he said.
Asif, who lives in the same neighbourhood as the victim, exploited the trust built between the two families to carry out the crime, the officer said.
The killing of the minor boy has triggered outrage in the area with the residents demanding stringent punishment for the accused.
The victim's family has called for death penalty for Asif.
