TUMKUR, MAY 1. D.N. Vishweswara Bhat, Judge, Third Court for Speedy Disposal of Cases, on Friday sentenced a man to imprisonment for five years for attempting to kill a moneylender. The Special Public Prosecutor, R.N. Nadiger, told the court that Ranganatha of Gandhinagar had borrowed Rs. 10,000 from Prabhaiah of Manishakthi Finance Company. He attacked Mr. Prabhaiah with a lethal weapon on June 2, 2000 when the latter approached him for repayment. Manjunatha, who went to the rescue of Mr. Prabhaiah, was also assaulted by Ranganatha, the court was told.

Fake notes seized: Two persons from Goa were arrested and counterfeit notes reportedly seized from them on Friday night.
