Those Hinduvta activists too should meet similar fate: Slain BJP worker's mother

Udupi, Aug 20: A pall of gloom descended on the house of BJP worker Praveen Poojary, who was beaten to death three days ago by a group of Hindutva activists for allegedly trafficking cows, and his family is finding it difficult to accept the reality that he is no more.

"These were people known to us. Why did they do this to my son?," sobbed Praveen's mother Baby Poojary, mourning the son who was her oldest and most gentle.

“Those people also must suffer the same way for what they did,” she cursed sitting on the verandah of her house at Kenjoor village, 3km from Santhekatte in Udupi.

Relatives and neighbours find it hard to accept that the alleged killers were people the family had known for years. Many of the attackers often visited his chicken shop and had reportedly had meals at his home in the past.

Pramila Poojary, Praveen's sister, said the family was not well off but her brother had come up by dint of sheer hard work and set up his own business, which was resented by many. He was also a local BJP leader.

Praveen, owned a tempo rickshaw and ran a chicken stall in his village. He headed a standing committee of the BJP's Santhekatte unit.

Ramesh Poojary, a relative, said the way his van was waylaid gave rise to suspicion. “When he was called at 8 p.m., he did not even know it was for transporting cattle,” he said.

Praveen's father Vasu said his son "left at 8.30 pm for some work" at his shop. "At 10.30 they brought him...the police came too, but he died in hospital."

Praveen's classmate Santhosh Shetty said he had never once seen his friend lose his temper, no matter the provocation. "They (the attackers) were Praveen's customers in his shop. Young boys in nearby villages have been indoctrinated and armed with weapons - we have never seen such conflict before," said Mr Shetty.

Panchayat member Geetha added: "He was never argumentative, never aggressive. We cannot believe that this has happened to him."

How can YOU say its illegal,
Cows can be slaughtered if old or diseased. possession not a crime. bill proposed by BJP in 2010 in karnataka made slaughter punishable by 7yrs jail and Rs 1 lakh fine. BUT it did not BEcome LAW.

Bengaluru, Jun 26: Karnataka's Commercial Taxes Department has sealed off an undeclared warehouse with imported goods worth Rs 4 crore in Bengaluru and found 60 GST registrations linked to a Chinese national from Wuhan.

The tax department officials found 25,446 China-made electronic and fast-moving consumer goods worth Rs 4 crore stored in the warehouse which was not declared to the tax authorities.

Commissioner of Commercial Taxes MS Srikar said in a statement that the officers noticed that one person from Wuhan City, China, got the premises in Bengaluru on lease.

They also found that about 60 registrations (both central and state jurisdictions) under the GST Act, in the name of a number of persons for online trading of imported China-made goods, had a single address which was vacant.

Most of the registrations were found irregular in the filing of returns and payment of tax. Majority of the firms either filed nil returns or were non-filers. The registration data showed that one business was registered in 2017-18, 43 in 2018-19, 14 in 2019-20 and two in 2020-21. Most of the 60 firms were private limited companies and 24 persons were interchangeably directors in 58 firms.

At the time of raid, neither the lessee, the Chinese national, nor any of the other 59 registered taxable persons were available at the business premises and no one came forward to participate in the proceedings in spite of providing sufficient time.

It is learnt that the Chinese national is operating the business from Wuhan City since January 2020 with the assistance of some of his agents/employees in Bengaluru.

It has also been learnt that multiple registrations are being taken for a better rating on e-commerce platforms, Srikar said.

The raids were led by Nitesh K Patil, Additional Commissioner, Enforcement, South Zone.
The Commercial Taxes Department is closely watching the genuineness of newly registered persons and conducting post-registration verification visits.

Any registration taken with mala fide intention of evading taxes will be dealt with seriously, the Commissioner said.
