Newskarnataka-Mangalore
Mangalore : Ullal is in the grips of tension following two assault cases reported from the area on August 13, Tuesday evening.
It all began when two youth identified as Nasir(25) and Ashfaq(22) who were sitting on the sea shore at Mogaveerapatna were attacked with wooden sticks by a group of eight persons who were playing at the beach. It is suspected that the attack took place over a trivial issue landing the two youth in the hospital. The assaulters meanwhile managed to escape even as cops rushed to the spot.
In another incident reported the same night, two youth named Lathesh (25) and Shahan (25) were attacked with bottles by a group of assailants when the two were on way home. Even they have been admitted to a hospital in Thokkottu.
In the meantime, police had to resort to a mild lathi charge when clashes erupted between two groups at the hospital premises. Incidentally, all the four injured youth were admitted to the same hospital.
Security has been tightened in Ullal following the two incidents of attacks. Additional KSRP personnel too have been deployed.
