Mangaluru: Shrunk Black T-shirt of Students thought to be terrorist flags

Mangaluru, Sep 30: Konaje station police were anxious about a black flag hung on a tree near a house in Kuthar Nityananda Nagar on Thursday, September 29. It made even higher rank police officials of Mangaluru commissionerate to visit the place. They took away the controversial flag and also T shirts. DCP Shantha Kumar, ACP Shruthi and Konaje inspector Ashok P visited the place and conducted investigations and solved the ‘mystery’. Kerala origin students of local engineering college have taken a house on rent in Kuthar Nithyananda Nagara. Local people, who had seen black flag in their hands and later on a nearby tree a week ago, had informed about it to the police. It was not clear what flag it really was as it had shrunk in the rain. However, more than 25 students had gathered here on Wednesday, September 28. Police came to the place after they heard that students were quarrelling. But the students fled after police arrived. But as the news of black flag became public, higher rank police officials from Mangaluru too arrived on Thursday and took the students into custody and also seized the black flag and black T shirts. The police later learnt that the flag was for a football match. The students in fact had formed a team for football match. They had made black T shirts to wear and a black flag for the team. Why students had gathered? Local medical college students of Kerala origin are staying in a rented house near the house of engineering students. One of the medical students there had brought a female junior medical student home. As the engineering college students objected to it, there were heated arguments between two groups which made the police arrive at the scene. The students meanwhile had fled in their bikes. Police ultimately solved the ‘mystery’ of students gathering and fighting and the issue of black flag and T shirts. But funnily senior officers from Mangaluru city had to come for the small issue. They happily went back as the issue did not have any connection to the ‘terrorists’ as they thought. Source: Daiji World
