In a disturbing incident, Bantwal Rural police have arrested six individuals in connection with a violent assault on Mohammad Mustafa, 21, who was bound to a pole and beaten in Kanchinadkapadavu, Sajipanadu village, Ullal taluk. The suspects—Mohammad Sapwan (25), Mohammad Rizwan (25), Irfan (27), Anis Ahmad (19), Nasir (27), and Shakeer (18)—are all residents of the same village.

During his treatment, he revealed that the attackers had attempted to kill him, prompting additional charges of attempted murder. The police, led by further investigation, arrested the suspects and charged them with group assault and attempted murder.
