Mangaluru: A rickshaw driver fell victim to a violent assault on Panambur Beach Road, yesterday. Identified as Arafat (30), a resident of Bunder was attacked while he parked near Panambur beach awaiting passengers.

Reports indicate that Arafat, a rickshaw driver from Mangalore city, had arrived at the beach area. However, tensions escalated when he encountered resistance from four rickshaw drivers already stationed there, allegedly upset over Mangaluru city drivers encroaching on their territory. The confrontation turned violent, with Arafat sustaining injuries to his hand.

Following the incident, Panambur police registered a case and initiated further investigation.

The incident has sparked outrage among rickshaw drivers in Mangaluru, who staged a protest outside Wenlock Hospital. They termed the attack as yet another instance of hooliganism at the Panambur rickshaw park, calling for the immediate arrest of the perpetrators. Rickshaw drivers demanded an end to such acts of violence, and demanded for urban permit rickshaws to have the freedom to operate within the city limits without fear of reprisal.

Arafat stated that while parked near the beach, he was attacked by a fellow rickshaw driver. Amidst the confrontation, another individual appeared, striking him on the head with a spanner before wielding a sharp weapon.
