Accused in RSS worker's murder had planned to kill Mangaluru VHP leader'

August 21, 2016

Mysuru, Aug 21: The prime accused in RSS worker Raju murder case had involved in at least seven other murder and five murder-attempt cases in the past, according to Mysuru City Police Commissioner B?Dayananda.

Addressing media persons, the top cop said that Abid Pasha was involved in murder of Shashikumar and Parveen Taj of Rajivnagar, Ramesh of Lashkar Mohalla, Harish of Ashoka Road and two students from Hunsur — Vignesh and Sudeendra — and Thyagaraja Pillai of Hunsur.

1jaggu “He was also involved in attempt to murder cases that were reported in Dakshina Kannada and Mysuru districts since 2008. Along with others, he had made an attempt to kill advocates Shanti Prasad Hegde and Jagadish Shenava, also Mangaluru taluk unit working president of Vishva Hindu Parishad, in May 2010. Besides, he had also made murder attempts on Ramesh, Anand Pai and Giridhar in Mysuru city,” he said.

Pasha, who was arrested by the City Crime Branch (CCB) sleuths nearly a fortnight ago in connection with the murder of Raju, who was hacked to death at a tea stall in Mysuru on March 13, was in the past arrested by Mangaluru Police, but he managed to obtain bail.

The commissioner said, “Pasha has confessed about his involvement in all the crime. He is the prime accused in a few murder and murder attempts cases and all of them are owing to religious hatred.”

Dayananda said, “On July 12, 2008, Pasha, along with his aides, had killed a salon owner Shashikumar in Rajivnagar in the city. The CID had submitted a C' report to the court. Shashikumar was killed during early hours, when he was opening his salon. Similarly, on June 9, 2009, Pasha had attacked two people — Ramesh and Anand Pai near Five Lights Circle in the city.Ramesh died due to injuries. In November the same year, the accused had murdered another Ramesh, owner of Ramesh Book Shop on Ashoka Road.

Apart from these, on June 11, 2011, Sudeendra and Vignesh, two students of Mahajana College from Hunsur town, were brutally killed near Chikkaballapur after their parents declined to pay a ransom of Rs 5 crore. Bengaluru CCB police had arrested six persons while Pasha was absconding. Similarly, Pasha had murdered one Thyagaraja Pillai of Hunsur over personal grudge.

In 2015, Pasha had killed a Muslim woman too. Pasha and others had killed Parveen Taj on July 8 at Rajivnagar in the city, he said.

Meanwhile, the CCB?police have detained three more persons in connection with Raju murder case. They are: Ayub Khan (27) of Kalyanagiri, Mohammed Haneef (36) of Azeez Sait Nagar and Hameed Khan (27) of Gouziya Nagar.

“All the accused were booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The police have laid a trap to arrest other accused involved in Raju's case,” the commissioner informed.

Comments

Abid Pasha is a Supari killer. he had murdered a muslim woman too. I fully agree with Naren Kotian that he should meet the fate of Maduru isubu.

Naren, what are you talking BULLSHIT about 72 virgins.....It may be in your Ramayana and Mahabharatha.... Not in Islamic books.... Every one knows how your God Krishna enjoyed thousands of Virgins /Gopis... You also can enjoy thousands of virgins in Singapore..... Can you tell us WHO IS THE FATHER OF DRAUPADI'S CHILDREN ????????????????

Naren, they are still far less than your RSS friends AND terrorists who are languishing in jail waiting for death punishment...Sadhwi etc etc...

Abid must be shown the way so that he can enjoy 72 virgins ...i wish he meets the same fate as madur isubu ..who committed more heinous task of attacking nationalist Indians based on instruction from is I ..PFI is behind him and now providing legal service ..he killed innocent two non RSS guys to death just to raise funds for his jihadist activities

I agree he is 1000% wrong, he should not have killed anyone, law will take its course of action....but still Bajrangies did not learn any lesson from it....what would you say about 18 persons who killed one person in Udupi....come on give me a break 18 persons....do you need 18 persons for it....till now no comments from BJP or any kind of sangh pariwars....

ABVP national president accused of harassing woman, urinating at her doorstep

coastaldigest.com web desk

July 25,2020

Chennai, July 25: A widow living alone in her apartment in Chennai city suburbs has filed a police complaint against ABVP national president Dr Subbiah Shanmugam, accusing him of harassment, including urinating and throwing used surgical masks at her doorstep.

Shockingly, no action has been taken so far by the police, even though the complaint against Dr Shanmugam, who is in government service, was filed on July 11 at the Adambakkam Police Station here by the widow’s relative Balaji Vijayaraghavan.

Dr Shanmugam and the 62-year-old widow were living in the same apartment complex in Nanganallur and an argument broke between them over a parking slot. “He wanted to use our parking lot. We agreed but demanded a nominal charge for using it. He was outraged by our demand and even broke our signboard at the parking lot,” Vijayaraghavan wrote in his complaint.

He also alleged that Dr Shanmugam began harassing her by throwing “pieces of chicken” outside her apartment despite knowing she is a vegetarian. Vijayaraghavan also alleged in his two-page written complaint that the ABVP National President had urinated outside the woman’s apartment gate and had been throwing garbage and used masks at her gate.

The 62-year-old woman has been living alone in her apartment for the last year following her husband’s death. In his complaint, Vijayaraghavan also said the family was “concerned about her safety”, while asking police to take action against Dr Shanmugam, who he says, “has a bad track record in maintaining rapport with neighbours.”

CCTV footage corroborates with the allegations of urinating outside the residence of the widow. However, the ABVP claimed the incident as a “malicious and derogatory propaganda” by the Congress’ student wing of NSUI.
