MANGALURU: A
minor and his neighbours
assaulted a team of
police in a bid to evade arrest. All four accused in the case have been arrested. The incident took place at
Moojinadu in Belthangady on Thursday.
One Savitha Gore from Moojinadu was assaulted by her teenage son Abhishek Gore, and their neighbours Pramila and Jagadeesh. A case of attempt to murder had been registered against them.
In this connection, a team from Dharmasthala police station led by SI Avinash arrived at Pramila’s house on Thursday. This enraged Pramila and her mother Leelavathi who threatened the police of dire consequences. They then attacked the police with a sickle and rod, injuring two policemen.
The officer said while one of the personnel has been discharged, another remains hospitalised.
According to the officer, Savitha is partially mentally-challenged. Her husband left the family three years ago. Pramila and her family then hatched a conspiracy to usurp 3 acres belonging to Savitha. They took Abhishek into confidence and used him against his own mother. Savitha is recuperating at the government hospital in Belthangady.
