Dadri, Oct 7: The Hindutva activists and family members of one of the accused in Dadri lynching, who died of fever earlier this week, have refused to cremate the dead body unless the Uttar Pradesh government pays Rs 1 crore as compensation, recommends a CBI probe into his death and fulfils other demands.

Less than a kilometre from where Mohammad Akhlaq was lynched last year over beef allegation, hundreds of Bisara residents gathered on Thursday around a deep-freezer casket draped with the Tricolour. The casket contained the body of 21-year-old Ravin Sisodia, an accused in Akhlaq's killing, who died at LNJP Hospital in Delhi Tuesday evening.

Sisodia's family members have also demanded the state government to take action against officers at a Greater Noida jail, where the notorious murder accused had been lodged, and to arrest Akhlaq's brother, Jaan Mohammad, on charges of “cow slaughter.”

The district police, meanwhile, turned the village into a veritable fortress with VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi visiting Bisara on Thursday to express her solidarity with Sisodia's family. Two companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) have been deployed, and extra security forces from Gautam Budh Nagar, Bulandshahr and Ghaziabad brought in.

By Thursday evening, talks between the administration and a 11-member committee of Bisara residents, including family members of Ravin, hit a roadblock on two issues — the arrest of Mohammad and compensation for Ravin's family.

While village residents maintained that a meeting of residents from nearby villages will be called on Friday morning, the local administration maintained that efforts to negotiate with Bisara residents and Ravin's father would continue.

“They have said that the body will not be cremated if Mohammad is not arrested. They also did not agree to accept the Rs 10 lakh that was being offered by the state government as compensation and demanded Rs 1 crore. We are trying to reach out to Ravin's family. For now, they have refused to cremate him,” said a senior police officer.

“If our demands are not met, the cremation will not take place. The administration has given us some assurances but we are not satisfied. Our main aim is Mohammad's arrest and unless that happens, we will not cremate the body,” said Hari Om, the husband of Bisara pradhan Kaushalya Devi.

Earlier, addressing the residents, Sadhvi Prachi said, “All those in the government have deep love for topiwallahs…these people exploit you. Teach them a lesson.” Asking “Hindus” to unite, and referring to the Muzaffarnagar riots, Prachi said, “Dadri ko Uttar Pradesh sarkar Muzaffarnagar kand na banaye (The UP government should not turn Dadri into a Muzaffarnagar-like incident).”

Gautam Budh Nagar police said they would initiate action against Prachi for making inflammatory statements. Dharmendra Singh, SSP, said, “We are recording the events on video. If any person gives provocative speeches and tries to disturb peace there, strict legal action will be taken. But since a dead body has been kept there and a lot of people are visiting to console the family and friends, we are allowing people to enter the village.”

On September 28 last year, a Hindutva mob attacked 50-year-old Akhlaq, dragging him outside his house and beating him to death while his younger son 22-year-old Mohammad Danish received severe head injuries, according to police.

The mob assembled outside Akhlaq's house minutes after an announcement in the village which asked residents to assemble since a cow had allegedly been slaughtered in the village, police had said.

He is a true Indian and he needs Military honour. He should be recommended for Bharat Ratna for his sacrifice for the nation. He has sacrificed his life for BJP and nation. Idol of this person should be made and erected besides Godse as both belong to same group with same ideology.

Bengaluru, Jul 14: The Karnataka government on Tuesday made changes to the Land Reforms Act 1961 through an ordinance to allow non-agriculturists to buy and own farmland for farming.

“The Land Reforms Act has been amended through an ordinance and notified after Governor Vajubhai R Vala gave his assent to it on Monday night,” a Revenue Department official told media persons.

It now permits non-farmers to buy farmland and grow food crops. But they can’t use it for other activities.

“Sections 79 A, B and C of the Act have been repealed, paving way for bona fide citizens to invest in farmland and take to farming as a hobby, passion or additional occupation, which is rewarding,” the official said.

The amended Act will enable the state to attract investment in the farm sector and boost food output. The farm sector’s contribution to the state’s gross domestic product (GDP) has been less than the manufacturing and services sectors over the last two decades.

Criticism by farmers, the Congress and the JD(S) since the cabinet approved changes on June 11 forced the state government to retain section 80 of the Act, with an amendment, to prevent sale of dam water irrigated farmland.

“The ordinance has also added a new section (80A), which says relaxations under the Act will not apply to land given to farmers under the Karnataka SC and ST (Scheduled Caste and Tribe) Act 1978,” the official said.

The changes permit mortgage of farmland only to the state-run institutions, firms and cooperative societies specified in the Act. The ordinance also makes legal cases pending in courts against the sections amended redundant as the new Act addresses the concerns raised in them.

“Besides generating substantial revenue for the state government, the Act will now allow farmers who find the occupation non-remunerative and risky due to droughts/floods and labour shortage to sell their surplus land to urban buyers,” the official said.

Ruling BJP Rajya Sabha member KC Ramamurthy from Bengaluru said the amended Act would allow any citizen to buy farmland.

“Though hundreds of people petitioned successive governments for the past 45 years to abolish the ‘draconian’ sections, they were ignored. I compliment Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Revenue Minister R Ashoka for the decision to allow everyone to buy farmland irrespective of their occupation or profession,” Ramamurthy told media persons.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: People volunteering as civil police wardens with the city police department will not receive any remuneration, an official said on Wednesday.

“We wish to clarify the rumours floating on social media and confirm that the volunteers helping local police as civil police wardens in enforcement of anti-Covid measures will not be paid any remuneration,” said an official.

On Tuesday, Bengaluru city police commissioner Bhaskar Rao had urged interested people to volunteer for the department, indicating how strained the department has been amid Covid.

“Inviting physically fit and service minded residents of Bengaluru, both men and women, between the age of 18-45 to volunteer as civil police wardens,” said Rao.

The department is offering a choice of the police division, jurisdiction and the shifts one wants to choose to be a civil police warden.

Additional Commissioner of Police Hemant Nimbalkar said volunteers are a welcome support to the police in their field duty but should not be left alone.

“Volunteers are a support to the police in the field and shall not work standalone. They shall be attached with duty police as assistance. A jacket and a cap should be provided to them,” said Nimbalkar.

He reminded that the safety of the volunteers is the responsibility of the policemen.

Many city policemen have been infected with the virus and quarantined while more than six have succumbed.

“It is a tough time for all policemen irrespective of the rank. Four hundred and fifty active cases across the state and the loss of six lives speak volumes about their involvement in the war against Covid,” said Director General of Police Praveen Sood recently.

He expressed hope that the difficult times will pass, saying all the members of the police department are a family.
