Seven of family booked for violating lockdown rules in Karnataka

Seven members of a family, have been booked for violating the lockdown rules by entering Dakshina Kannada district by sea from Talapady in Kasaragod district of neighbouring Kerala. The case was registered against Yakoob, a resident of Addur in Bajpe police station limits and his family members.

They had gone to a relatives house in Talapady on the Kasaragod side where they got stuck after the lockdown was clamped. As the district administration has sealed all border points, Yakoob hired a boat with help of one Shakir who sailed them to Talapady side of Dakshina Kannada, from where they reached Addur, police sources said.

Local people who saw them at a ration shop, brought the matter to the notice of the police, who took them into custody. They have been sent for medical tests and quarantined at the Wenlock hospital, the sources said.PTI MVG SS ROH ROH
