Mysuru: An incident was reported from Ramanuja Road near Agrahara on Thursday night, where a group of four people in a car stopped three women and a man who were traveling in an auto rickshaw and attacked them with lethal weapons.

The assault victims Rajan (38), his wife Kumuda, Vishalakshi and Renukamma, who were found to grievously injured, are being treated at the KR Hospital in Mysuru. The health condition of one of them is learned to be critical.

They were reportedly returning from Vidyaranyapurma Police Station on Thursday night after speaking to the police regarding a POCSO Act case that had allegedly been filed against Rajan a year ago. The four people, identified as Rama, Soumya, Abbayya and Prasad, followed them in a car and, intercepting the auto rickshaw on Ramanuja Road, attacked them with lethal weapons.

A CCTV camera nearby has captured the scene, showing the attackers, armed with the weapons, verbally and physically assaulting the four people in the auto rickshaw.

Pune (PTI): The runway at Pune airport, which was temporarily unavailable due to an incident involving an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft, has now been restored and declared operational, the Air Force said on Saturday.

The authorities at the Pune International Airport had earlier said that around 10.25 pm on Friday, a fighter aircraft experienced an undercarriage failure during landing, causing the runway to be blocked.

Earlier on Friday night, the Air Force had stated that the runway at Pune airport was temporarily unavailable following an incident involving one of its fighter aircraft. The aircrew are safe, and there is no damage to civil property, it had said.
