Ullal: Three innocent youth from Ullal were allegedly attacked by a group of miscreants on Monday.

The incident occured when the trio was returning home after finishing catering work at a marriage near Madaka.

The miscreants, who hid near Thokkottu over-bridge, attacked them with lethal weapons. Nizam and Saleem managed to escape where as Safwan suffered serious injuries on his stomach. With the injury, Safwan ran for a kilometer till Kapikad and informed his friends. Even though it was late in the night, his friends Samad and Nazrat responded to him and immediately rushed him to a private hospital in Mangaluru.

Salim and Nizam suffered minor injuries in the attack.

Nizam who escaped from the clutches of miscreants, hid for three hours in a bush near Kapikad.

The entire incident has been recorded in a CCTV installed at a nearby bank. Police said that the attackers hail from Krishnanagar and Ganeshanagar in Thokkottu who arrived in a white Activa and a black bike.

The police are suspecting that it is a revenge attack against recent killing of fisherman Raju Kotian. On Monday too, a youth from Ullal, Ibrahim Nafsan was attacked by some miscreants. He is said to be in a critical condition. Within hours of attacking Nafsan, the miscreants have attacked these three youth.
