Tensions are high in Mangaluru following the murder of Hindutva activist Suhas Shetty, prompting police to impose prohibitory orders until May 6. Shetty, a known rowdy sheeter, was attacked by unidentified assailants, leading to his death. The police have launched a manhunt and are investigating the motive, while also working to maintain public order amidst potential unrest.

At the heart of this capability are the Agni-series ballistic missiles and the supersonic BrahMos cruise missile, systems that underscore India’s evolving deterrence posture.

The IMD had warned of a western disturbance approaching the western Himalayan region, and predicted rain, thunderstorm and gusty winds over many northern states from May 1 to 5.
