Mangaluru, Jan 20: A local youth, said to be a Bajrang Dal activist, wanted in the murder case of Harish Poojary has been arrested by the Dakshina Kannada district police in Gujarat.

terrorRaviraj, one of the four accused involved in the killing of Harish Poojary on November 12, 2015 in Bantwal taluk, had left the coastal district after police came to known the fact that the murder was committed by Bajrang Dal activists.

On November 19, the police had managed to arrest Bajrang Dal leader and rowdy-sheeter Bhuvith Shetty (25) and his associate Achyuta (28), near Mani village in Bantwal taluk. On November 30 the cops had arrested another accused Mithun Poojary (27) of Goltamajalu, near Bantwal.

However, the police had failed to trace Raviraj, the fourth accused, who was living in his uncle Ramsh at Vastrapur in Ahmedabad district of Gujarat. On January 18 a team of Police from Bantwal rural police station visited Ahmedabad and arrested him.

Circle inspector Belliyappa, under the guidance of SP Sharanappa and ASP Rahul Kumar, led the team of police comprising Sub Inspector Rakshat, ASI Ramesh and constables Jagadish and Raja to nab the culprit.

It could be recalled here that Harish Poojary and his friend Sameeullah were attacked by the miscreants with lethal weapons at Manihalli in Bantwal taluk hours after Sangh Parivar activists tried to disrupt peace by pelting stones at SDPI protesters in BC Road. Harish died soon after the attack and Sameeullah is still recuperating at a hospital.

A day after killing Harish Poojary, the district unit of Bajrang Dal had imposed bandh alleging that he was killed by Muslim groups.

Now am wondering how do the hindus feel when they see some of their people doing crime and whole the community is blamed and called as saffron terrorism. Same as happening when few muslims do some crime and whole community is blamed for it.

Matter of time..

Bengaluru, Feb 16: Deputy chief minister Laxman Savadi’s election to the lone vacant council seat, for which a bypoll has been called, is only a formality as the only other candidate in the contest, independent BR Anil Kumar, dropped out on Saturday.

Kumar conveyed his decision to council secretary and returning officer Vishalakshmi. He decided to withdraw from the February 17 bypoll after failing to get support from Congress and JD(S) legislators.

The bypoll was necessitated after sitting member Rizwan Arshad of Congress resigned as he moved to the legislative assembly as an MLA. Rizwan won the Shivajinagar bypoll in December last year.

“Since the notification on candidates in the fray, after the last date of withdrawal, has already been published, irrespective of any candidate’s retirement, the election has to be conducted,” an official said.

Savadi’s victory was always assured as BJP has 119 members in the House.

Still, Ramanagara BJP district president Rudresh and MP BY Raghavendra reportedly approached Kumar, urging him to withdraw. Kumar, however, denied that he was persuaded by BJP.

“I entered the fray thinking secular parties and likeminded MLAs will support me, but that didn’t happen, so I decided to retire,”he said.

A section of Congress and JD(S) politicians, led by former minister HD Revanna, had persuaded Kumar to enter the contest with the hope that disgruntlement among some BJP legislators over Savadi’s promotion as the deputy CM would result in an upset.

Former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy also offered to support Kumar. Siddaramaiah of Congress refused to do the same. Congress and JD(S) did not field any candidates of their own as they don’t have the requisite numbers in the House.

Savadi must get elected to the council before February 20, otherwise he will lose his cabinet role. According to rules, a person who is not a member of either House should get elected within six months after becoming a minister. Savadi took oath on August 20 last year.
