MANGALURU: A 20-year-old final-year BCA student of a private college in Ballalbagh was stabbed near his college canteen on Saturday. The injured has been identified as Mohammad Unais, a resident of Mithabagilu in Belthangady taluk.
Barke police said that the prime accused, Riyan, a first-year B.Com student from the same college who is a resident of Katipalla, and five others attacked Unais following an altercation.
