Mangaluru, Apr 29: The Second Additional Sessions Court in Mangaluru has rejected the anticipatory bail application of Hindutva leader Naresh Shenoy, the supposed master behind the gruesome murder of the RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

nareshNaresh Shenoy was the founder of the Mangaluru unit of NaMo Brigade, which is now known as Yuva Brigade.

The murder took place on March 21 and the accused has been absconding since March 25. Even though he has been able to file an application for anticipatory bail through his lawyer, the police have been unable to apprehend either him or a co-accused Shrikanth who also have been at large.

Welcoming the court's decision, Narendra Nayak, a social activist, said that while the aged parents of Baliga and his unmarried sisters shed their silent tears in helplessness, those who are behind the crime are busy manipulating things to mislead the trial.

“The very fact that the accused Naresh Shenoy has been able to evade arrest shows the inefficiency of the Mangalore police,” he said.

Protest march on May 2

He said that several like minded organisations and activists have planned to stage a protest march on May 2 at 3.30 p.m. from the place where Vinayak Baliga was murdered.

The march will be via Kodiyalbail, Vithoba temple road, Temple square, Bhavanthi Street to the Police commissioner's office, where the agitators will present a memorandum to the top cop.

Naresh Shenoy should be locked behind the bar for lifetime, govt should give the shelter to Baliga's family.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.

"In order to condemn violence on healthcare workers and to voice all our issues, we have called nationwide symbolic protest from July 24. We will protest symbolically by wearing black bands, across the state and have sought support from residents pan-India," KARD said in a statement.

"We, the resident doctors of Karnataka have been undergoing various difficulties while executing our duties during the COVID-19 pandemic," it added.

"Arrest and legal action against culprits involved in K.C General hospital incident. Arrest and legal action against culprits involved in Belgaum incident. Condemnation of atrocities on doctors in Bidar and action against the official. Ensuring safety protocols at all hospitals and COVID care centres with adequate security and police personnel," KARD demanded.

"No hierarchy in a pandemic"- common work pattern for all doctors irrespective of hierarchy/cadre. Immediate release of funds for a stipend for an already sanctioned hike. COVID duty and night duty allowances. Ensuring an adequate supply of N-95 masks, face shields, surgical gowns in all non-COVID working areas. An adequate supply of good quality PPEs for all COVID working areas," KARD demanded.

Earlier, the nurses of Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Hubli called off the protest after receiving assurance from Nitish Patil, the Dharwad district Deputy Commissioner (DC).

The protest was staged on Wednesday afternoon in front of KIMS by nurses who alleged that the administration had not provided adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits, masks and sanitary facilities amid the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
