Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (SP)
Udupi, Jan 20: Abdul Khader Hussain (35), principal of the Composite Pre University College in Jokatte near Baikampady, was attacked by a gang of three with stones on Thursday January 19.
It is learnt that the gang had invited Hussain to visit Padubidri, and targeted him once he reached there.
The accused reportedly contacted the principal over phone and invited him to the supermarket located below Padubidri branch of Syndicate Bank, duly telling him that they wanted to discuss something with him. Hussain, who suffered injuries in the incident, was admitted into a private hospital in Udupi.
In a complaint filed with the Padubidri police station, Hussain said that he was assaulted in retaliation for suspending a student of the college as a disciplinary measure. The complainant also named T Abubakker, an employee of New Mangalore Port Trust, as the person who hatched the plan of assault, and Siraj from Kulur and two others as the accused who executed it.
