muthalikMangaluru, Jan 1: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim has expressed deep concern over the reports on possibility of withdrawal of more than a dozen cases against Sri Rama Sene leader Pramod Muthalik.

In a letter addressed to Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department Mr Ibrahim cautioned against the proposal to drop 13 cases, including 12 hate-speech cases against Muthalik.

“Such a move would send wrong signals and demoralise the police force,” the deputy commissioner said.

It’s worth mentioning here that the Home Ministry had written to the Director of Prosecution to get the opinion of prosecutors on the proposal to drop the 13 cases, including the infamous 2009 pub attack case. Muthalik himself had expressed surprise and shock over the development.

Mr. Ibrahim, in his letter dated December 28, 2015 advised the government against giving freedom to those who indulge in immoral policing and spread communal hatred.

Withdrawal of cases against Muthalik could motivate other fringe elements to take law into their own hands, the DC said.

Bengaluru, Feb 5: New Tulu movie Pingara has bagged the NETPAC International Jury Award at the 12th edition of Bengaluru International Film Festial (BIFFes) on Wednesday.

Written and directed by Preetham R Shetty, the movie revolves around people who worship daivas (spirits) of Tulu Nadu.

The narrative goes back and forth in time, to tell the story of a family to Sinchana (Chaitanya Chandramohan), a journalist from Bengaluru who visits a village in Tulu Nadu to ‘write on Tulu culture.’

The film speaks about the caste system in Tulu Nadu and the struggle for land in the post-independence period.

Belgaum, Mar 30: As many as 2442 labourers hailing from Karnataka have been brought back in 62 buses by the State government from Maharashtra on Sunday, in the backdrop of nation-wide lockdown following COVID-19 outbreak.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday urged migrant labourers not to leave the State owing to the nationwide lockdown and assured that the Maharashtra government will look after their interests.

Hundreds of migrants, a majority of whom are daily wage workers started rushing to their native places from different states amid uncertainty over their livelihood following the announcement of a 21-day nationwide lockdown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week in order to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.
