In a shocking incident, a man was assaulted and robbed of his valuables after accepting a ride in Bantwal. The victim, identified as M. Gangadhar, a resident of Virajpet in Kodagu, lost his gold jewelry and cash in the incident.
Gangadhar arrived at B.C. Road from Virajpet around 9 PM on Friday, August 9. He was waiting for transportation to his brother’s house in Narikombu, Bantwal.
