Bhatkal, Oct 25: Four youths have claimed that they were tortured and beaten up by Karwar town police for refusing to pay a bribe for not carrying the documents of the vehicle they were moving around in the town recently.

bribgeThe victims of alleged police excesses include the son and nephew of Karwar city BJP unit's president Vivekanand Baikerikar and a gold medallist in BE, who works in a software company in Bengaluru.

BJP local leaders along with the victims held a press conference and demanded action against sub-inspector Kusumadhar and his staff.

Vivekanand said his son Sandesh, his nephew Balakrishna and two of their friends had gone to the beach on October 17. While returning around 10.30pm their car was stopped by Kusumadhar and his staff near the deputy commissioner's office and asked to show the documents of the vehicle.

Vivekanand alleged that as the car had Bengaluru registration number, police initially mistook them for tourists and demanded Rs. 5,000. When the youths refused to pay, there was an argument. At that time, a constable, who was part of the police team, tried to snatch the purse of Sandesh.

When Sandesh resisted, Kusumadhar got angry and summoned another six constables to the spot. Later all of them brutally assaulted the youths, Vivekanand said.

Later the youths were taken to the police station and beaten up again with lathis and leather belts. Vivekanand said adding that when he went to the police station at around 11pm after knowing about the incident, he saw police still beating his son and his friends. "When I tried to stop them, they pulled me out and I fainted in the police station after seeing the condition of my son and his friends' Vivekanand said.

Later the youths were presented before the magistrate and sent to jail. The victims said while taking them to the magistrate, Kusumadhar and his staff threatened them not to mention about the torture to the magistrate else they would be tortured further.

On October 19, Meera Saxe na, chairperson of Karnataka State Human Rights Commission, had visited the district jail where the youths were lodged. "That time too, the police threatened us not to tell anything to her,'' one of the victims said.

Even though, the youths were released on bail by the court on Friday, police allegedly confined them to their houses till Saturday afternoon as Saxena was still in the district. 'Only after she left for Bengaluru, we could come out of the house and speak to media," the youths alleged.

The BJP leaders alleged that Kusumadhar and his staff members have been extorting money from tourists who visit Karwar beach during night hours and it has become a menace, they said. They demanded the suspension of Kusumadhar and the staff who tortured the youths. The victims said that they would approach the SHRC and Police Complaint Authority and also file a criminal complaint against Kusumadhar and his staff.

Protitution : Many Preverts Trap girls , use her and throw it... they use her like object.. that women will have only one option..
Do these ladies who come here for press conf ever VOICED against this system of SIN>..

Polygamy is a solution:
There are many unmarried women in war zones...
There are many unmarried women who are not married cos of social injustice by men who demand dowry.
There are many hijidas now a days who doesn't want to marry but use women as Girl friends and do fulfill their desires and escape responsibility.
There are many Criminals, who only commit crime and FORSAKE their wife and children.

Women needs CARING and Someone needs to take RESPONSIBILITY..
Marrying is a responsibility and taking care of the family and if U cant do justice then stay away from marrying more than ONE... One day U will answer in front of the LORD who created all that exists.

Islam says U can marry 2's and 3's and 4's but if you cant JUSTIFY with them MARRY only ONE...
QURAN is the only religious books on earth which says MARRY only ONE ...

Tumakuru, Jan 8: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat stoked controversy on Wednesday by stating that 'Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is full of traitors'.

He was addressing the media after taking part in a pro-CAA rally organised by National Citizens Forum near the office of the deputy commissioner of the district here.

Bhat said, “JNU is full of traitors. Congress and communist parties have been generating anti-nationals there. But there is no need to close the university down. Modi government will handle it.”

“Nationalism should be infused among the students there through love and trust. They should be made to realize what the truth is,” he said.

Unfortunate, still he has poor followers to believe him.

He is safe at home and sacrifiers are poor boys who blindly believe and obey him.

 

This guy is sick and irriversible.

God will reward him so that his followers believe his exploiting orders.
