Bengaluru, Mar 26: It was a miraculous escape for the family of Sadiq Pasha, a businessman, who woke up in the wee hours of Friday to find his house on fire. He woke up his family members, who rushed out of the house.

fireThis is the second such incident in two days. On Wednesday, three two-wheelers parked in front of his house at Balaji Layout in MICO Layout were set on fire. Mr. Pasha had filed a complaint in this regard.

The MICO Layout police said that some persons poured kerosene on the main door and set the house on fire. The police accompanied the fire tenders to the spot. It is said that furniture and household articles were gutted.

According to Mr. Pasha's neighbours, the fire was the handiwork of a few unruly youths in the area'. They said that the youths would sit in front of Mr. Pasha's house, consume alcohol and create a ruckus. Mr. Pasha had complained about the same.

On Friday, anxious neighbours demanded strict action against the perpetrators.

Yasmen Khanum, wife of Sadiq Pasha, said, their problems started a few months ago when her daughter, who is pursuing her II pre university, started getting prank calls and messages on her mobile.

“We also noticed a group of eve-teasers loitering around the house and passing comments about her. She informed my husband, who not only chased the boys away but also complained to the police. It appears that the boys are taking revenge. First, they set fire to three vehicles parked in front of our house on the night of March 21. Now, they have the audacity to set fire to the house. My daughter, who is appearing for her exams, is scared. They have ruined our lives. Where should we go? The police are doing little to help us out.”

The MICO Layout police are examining CCTV footage from in and around the area to identify the culprits. They have taken a few youths into custody for questioning.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: The Karnataka government on Sunday directed the Director General of Police Praveen Sood to submit a detailed report on the internal security following the United Nations' observation that international terror outfit IS was active in the state.

The UN report stated that Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, was reportedly planning attacks in the region.

It also warned that there were 'significant numbers' of ISIS operatives in Karnataka and Kerala. Reacting to the UN report, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the state government has taken a serious note of the report on the activities of IS in the state.

The state government is in touch with the Centre and the neighbouring states to keep a close watch on the activities of suspicious people and their supporters.

"In this context, it has been decided to strengthen the internal security of the state. The Director General of Police has been asked to submit a detailed report," Bommai said in a release.

The state is also keeping a strict vigil on all those entering Bengaluru from other states, the Minister said. He recalled that the state police had arrested several members of Al-Hind organisation in January last and Jamaat- ul-Mujahideen from Bangladesh in 2018 and 2019.

Mangaluru, May 6: The Karnataka NRI Forum - UAE has collected the details of those seeking to return to Karnataka amidst coronavirus lockdown.

Of these, 121 of these expats are pregnant women, 27 are senior citizens, 157 are in urgent medical need, 522 are unemployed, 377 are in the UAE on visit visa, 109 are in the UAE on expired residency visa, 30 are students and 566 others.

On Tuesday, May 5, the Government of India released a list of flight schedules for the repatriation of Indians who are stranded abroad. "...sadly we do not see any flights going from UAE to Karnataka," the KNRI said in a letter to Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda, who is also a Kannadiga.

"We, Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru and KNRI have collected the information of those who are in dire condition and would like to travel immediately. We would like to bring to your attention that in this list there are pregnant women and senior citizens who are in critical conditions and are waiting to travel," the KNRI wrote, urging the Union Minister to start at least one flight to Mangaluru as the majority are from this coastal city and not from Bengaluru.

Additionally, in order to help these struggling Kannadigas, the KNRI has notified the Government of India and Government of Karnataka several times through letters and conference calls, along with the Kannadiga's helpline, UAE.

With the help of likeminded businessmen and professionals, the KNRI Forum and Dubai Anivasi Kannadigaru have opened a helpline called "Kannadigas Helpline" through which they have received around 2,500 requests for food, medical, legal and other assistance.
