Udupi, Jul 11: A clash between two gangs resulted in the assault of Muhammad Parvez Ummar (25) from Sampige Nagar, Udyavara, over a ganja dispute.

On July 9, at around 9:30 PM, Parvez received a call from Faizy alias Faizal, who asked him to come to Manipal urgently. Parvez arrived at MS Mart around 10:15 PM, where Faizal, along with Dawood Ibrahim and Isaac alias Icchu, forcibly pulled Parvez into a Swift car. Faizal accused Parvez of selling marijuana and demanded a monthly protection fee to continue his activities in Manipal, threatening severe consequences if he refused.

Parvez, suffering from severe pain and injuries, sought medical treatment at Ajjarkad government hospital. The Manipal police have registered a case and are investigating the incident.
