Chikmagaluru, Jul 24: Seven persons, including two Bajrang Dal activists, have been booked on charge of attacking a Dalit family in their house here recently for alleged cow slaughter, police said today.bajrang-dal

The alleged attack has come to light amid furore over the assault on Dalits in Gujarat's Una for allegedly skinning a cow.

Police registered the case against seven locals on a counter-complaint by three Dalits, who were on July 10 booked for allegedly slaughtering the cow in their house under Jayapura police station limits.

The alleged attack on Dalits came to light yesterday after 'Komu Souharda Vedike', a forum for communal harmony, raised the issue.

"Based on a complaint, we have booked seven persons, including two Bajrang Dal activists, for attacking three Dalits in their house," Jayapura Sub-Inspector of Police Chandrashekhar said.

Acting on a complaint, police had initially filed a case against the Dalit family members.

"The accused had gone to the house of the Dalits on July 10 to find out whether they had slaughtered the cow, without seeking permission," the SI said.

On being informed, a police team visited the house of the Dalits, found them 'cutting' the meat, and booked them. The three Dalits were taken to police station but later let off, he said.

The next day, a member of the Dalit family filed a counter-complaint alleging that the accused had attacked them after barging into their house.

Subsequently, a case of rioting and atrocity against the Dalits had been registered against seven persons, who have already obtained anticipatory bail, Chandrashekhar said, adding investigation into both the complaints is on.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
