MANGALURU: Just a few hours later after Hindu activist Suhas Shetty’s murder, another attempt was made to kill a fish vendor by an unidentified group near Kuntikana on Friday.
The victim, Lukman, a resident of Ullal, was attacked by miscreants who chased him and threw stones at him to kill. However, a Hindu woman who witnessed the incident screamed out for help and the miscreants fled the scene.
Lukman escaped death due to her presence of mind and was admitted to a private hospital for treatment. This incident comes after the brutal murder of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty near Bajpe’s Kinnipadavu on Thursday night.
Suhas Shetty was a key accused in the Fazil murder case and he was stabbed to death by around 10 people who lay in wait for him on Thursday night. The murder has sparked widespread protests in Dakshina Kannada district and prohibitory orders have been imposed in Mangaluru to prevent any untoward incidents. Despite this, miscreants have stabbed three people in a show of audacity.
