MU toilet cam: NWF demands CID probe, stringent action against sadist'

September 17, 2016

Mangaluru, Sep 17: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of the National Women's Front on Saturday staged a protest in the city demanding the government to hand over the case of placing hidden camera at the women's toilet on Mangalore University campus to Criminal Investigation Department.

The protest comes two days after M.Sc. student Santosh M Acharya, the main accused in the case was granted bail by a local court within a day after his arrest by the Mangaluru city police.

The protesters lamented that the case was being taken lightly since the beginning. Even though a hidden mobile with its camera on was found in the women's toilet on August 24, the university lodged a formal police complaint only on September 1. The police managed to catch the accused after two weeks but they registered silly cases against him.

Santosh, a resident of Sullia, was charged under IT Act 66 and Section 354 C (voyeurism). However, the protesters demanded that the police should charge him of violence against women, as he has violated the privacy of the female students of the university and also posed a threat to their safety and security on the campus.

Speaking on the occasion, Shaida Tasnim, general secretary, Federation of Women's India Movement, said that if a sadist and pervert like Santosh can get bail within a day after his arrest, then it is an insult to all women. “This development has exposed the loopholes in the system,” she said.

Shahida Yusuf, general secretary of NWF, said that the system has indirectly shown green signal to a dangerous pervert' to commit more crimes by allowing him to walk free in spite of his confession. “Stringent action should be taken against him. The police should also investigate whether more people had involved behind the crime,” she said.

@ virean kotian

if this was happened to your relatiVES or sisters then this would be your action for this accuse..?

Idiot, first show any case like this. See if there is a rape it would be done by non muslims, any pub attack its done by non muslims, any other communal disputes again non muslims, however if muslims raise a voice they should be remanded or Punished, Muslims just raised a voice saying the person should be punished, Who knows tomorrow your sister may be a victim, then would you say the same comment.

Its not Cow that Y we dont see durga vahini members are not in the protest . Cow is more important than women for cheddis.

Wow he got the bail! Match fixing between culprit and authorities. Police are happy !! Digital india mera bharath ki camera mahan !!!

These black cat commandos would not have staged protest if the accused was Abbu Beary. These people give communal tinge to each and every case. Nam desahada karma.

DKS plans political ‘ghar wapsi’ to bring leaders back to Congress

coastaldigest.com news network

June 5,2020

Bengaluru, June 5: Under the leadership of trouble-shooter D K Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress is planning a political ‘ghar wapsi’ to bring back leaders who quit the party and also rope in those from other parties.

Shivakumar, the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, has constituted a 12-member committee headed by former minister Allum Veerabhadrappa to liaise to anchor this effort to bring back people into the party fold.

The committee comprises of former legislators B A Hasanabba, Ajaykumar Sarnaik, Abhaychandra Jain, Satish Sail, Prafulla Madhukar, former MPs R Dhruvanarayan and BN Chandrappa, MLA V Muniyappa, former mayor Sampath Raj, Mahila Congress leader Kripa Alva and former KPCC general secretary V Y Ghorpade.

This move comes more than a year after over a dozen Congress MLAs defected and joined the BJP, leading to the collapse of the Congress-JD(S) coalition government. Also, several influential leaders quit the party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections last year.

The constitution of this committee also coincides with disgruntlement brewing within the ruling BJP.

“Many people who left the party and others have applied (to join Congress). Many have met me also. I felt it wouldn't be right for me to make a decision. So, this committee has been constituted,” Shivakumar said. “They will process all applications and send it to the KPCC.”

According to Shivakumar, any person wanting to join the Congress should accept the party’s leadership and its ideology. “Importantly, they should be first accepted by the cadre. If there's no acceptance from the cadre, then what's the point?” he said.

should not vote them even if they return to congress. They are backstabbers of voters.

People in this Karnataka city boycott health survey mistaking it for NRC

News Network

January 3,2020

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.

Comments

Its not the fault of the residents. Sanghis are planning to approach citizins disguised as health workers and else to get details of residents. such trouble makers should be noted and handed over to police. Police should arrest such fake people and put in jail. such fake people are trying to terrify poors and collect money assuring to help them. So, please be careful.
