Udupi, October 15: The incident of assaulting of four scientists from Waltair –Vishkhapatnam – based regional centre attached to Goa- based National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) has reached a dead end with no major breakthrough achieved till date.
DK superintendent of police Satheesh Kumar informed that the incident which took place in Yermal coast in the city few days earlier is going to be a trickier affair as there is lack of evidence to trace the culprits. He also said that on the day of the incident all fishermen were out at sea and therefore it is becoming difficult to identify the culprits. Consequently it is also becoming difficult to recover the instruments used by the scientists, which were thrown into the sea by the miscreants.
Further police informed that it is impossible to estimate the loss incurred with regard to the instruments thrown into the deep sea, until the scientists are available for information on the same.
The case has been handed over to the Padubidri police and Kaup circle inspector Praveen Nayak is handling all aspects of the case.
