Mangaluru, Oct 10: Mangaluru city police have reportedly detained a non-Indian resident in connection with the case of derogatory Facebook posts about Sri Durga Parameshwari of Kateel and other Hindu deities.

facebookpostAccording to sources, Shafi Bellare, a native of Sullia, is currently in custody of Mangaluru North Police, who are questioning him in connection with the case.

The derogatory comments against the Hindu goddess were posted on Facebook in October 2015 and were widely circulated. The Bantwal police registered a suo motu case a couple of months ago that was followed by a case registered by the Mangaluru North police.

The main accused of the Facebook fake profile 'Jabbar BC Road', hailing from Dakshina Kannada, is said to be operating from the Gulf. Shaffi Bellare, who was also in Gulf had reportedly responded to his post.

Sources said that a lookout notice had been issued for Shafi Bellare's arrest. As soon as he reached Mangaluru International Airport on Sunday from Bahrain, he was taken into custody and handed over to Mangaluru North Police.

Inspector Shantaram said that the suspect is still being questioned. DCP (Crime and Traffic) Dr Sanjeev M Patil, however, refused to confirm the development.

There are so many anti Muslim Facebook pages that not only makes mockery of Muslim Faith but also encourages violence against Muslims. Why aren't the police taking that as suo moto? I thought police protected interests of all people.
