Mangaluru, Jul 6: In a curious incident which occurred near Kuthar temple near Ullal on Monday Jul 5 afternoon, an educated woman, who arrived in a two-wheeler, kicked up commotion and threw tantrums. The scene provided entertainment many and gave rise to concern among several others. The episode finally ended with the intervention of police personnel from Ullal station who admitted the lady into the department of psychiatry in a private hospital in the city.

The woman, who was aged around 25, was moving towards the city from Deralakatte in her two-wheeler, when she suddenly stopped near Kuthar temple and started to shout loudly. Even though some locals tried to calm her down by speaking softly, she was uncontrollable. She repeatedly kept saying that she has split personality disorder like the one depicted in the movie 'Ghajini'.

In a short while, a large crowd of eager onlookers gathered there. Ullal police reached the spot shortly but when they ventured near the woman, she began to threaten them with dire consequences and see that they are jailed, if they touch her. She then started to agitatedly move around the temple. When some women offered her food and tried to pacify her, she remained hostile and incommunicable.

Thereafter, several persons came together to help her into the police van through which she was taken to a private hospital. Ullal police had a horrid time pacifying the woman, as they had only one woman constable. The people were critical of the fact that they came with only a single lady constable.

It is learnt that the woman, who suffers from psychological disorders, is under medication. On Monday, she had come to Deralakatte. She is an engineering graduate, and was seen to be fluently scolding and threatening others in English.
