Mangaluru, Dec 21: In connection with an attack on a policeman on December 16, the police have arrested two persons. Two scooter-borne people had arrived near New Chitra Junction in the city on that day, after which the pillion rider had walked to the check point where Bunder station head constable, Ganesh Kamath, along with two women constables, was checking vehicles, and escaped after suddenly hitting Kamath with a sword.
Muhammed Nawaz (30) from Kudroli, and a 16-year-old boy, were taken into custody. Nawaz has been remanded to judicial custody till December 24 while the minor has been admitted into the juvenile home at Nittoor, Udupi.
Nawaz, it is learnt, is a relative of Nausheen, who had died in police firing on December 19, 2019 during the anti-CAA violence. It is said that this attack was in retaliation for the death of Nausheen a year ago.
