Mangaluru: A 46-year-old man was brutally murdered near the Thokkottu flyover on the outskirts of Mangaluru on Friday morning. The deceased has been identified as Arif alias Tablet Arif, a resident of Mullugudde House in Talapady.
According to initial reports from the Mangaluru police, Arif was traveling on a motorcycle when he was attacked by a group of assailants. The perpetrators, who were trailing Arif in a car, reportedly rammed his motorcycle from behind, causing him to fall onto the road. Following the collision, the assailants allegedly attacked Arif with deadly weapons, inflicting fatal injuries. After the attack, the assailants fled the scene in the same vehicle.
