District Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada Ponnuraj was attacked by terrorists in his office on October 22, Thursday. Owing to the timely intervention of the fire service, the government departments, and the police department, he was able to escape from his office unscathed. 

As soon as the DC arrived in his office, a group of terrorists attacked him. Police personnel, along with the fire service, rushed to the spot and saved the DC.
