Three men have been arrested in Karkala taluk for allegedly pelting stones at the windshield of a Tamil Nadu-registered fish transport truck. The arrested include Durga Prasad alias Prasad, who was nabbed on May 7, and Pramod (34) from Moodbidri and Shivaraj alias Shiva (30) from Bantwal, arrested on Saturday.

As per the complaint by Manikandan, the truck was en route from Malpe Port, Udupi, to Tamil Nadu on May 2. Around 12:25 p.m., while passing through Parpale Kemaru in Sanoor village, two masked individuals on motorcycles approached from the Karkala direction, allegedly recognized the Tamil Nadu number plate, and hurled stones at the truck’s front windshield. The glass was shattered, leading to an estimated loss of ₹15,000.

A case was filed at Karkala Town Police Station. While Prasad has been remanded to judicial custody, the other two accused are to be produced in court.

Police continue to investigate the motive and any wider network behind the attack.
