AIR employee restrained

MANGALORE: Three persons who were taking a morning stroll on the road in front of All India Radio station at Kadri, allegedly restrained an AIR employee on Friday.

Florin Roche, who lodged a complaint with Mangalore East (Kadri) police station to this effect, said the incident occurred when she was on her way to the AIR station to report for the morning shift.

Ms. Roche said the accused might have mistaken her for a motorist, who had sped along the road some time earlier. “There is an executive order banning movement of vehicles on this stretch between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. for the sake of joggers and skaters. The AIR employees, who come to work for the morning shift in vehicles face the ire of walkers, she said. A case has been registered.

Ms. Roche said while L.M. Sridhara, a physician entered into a verbal altercation with her, two others, whom she could not identify, allegedly restrained her. Police are investigating the case.
