Mangaluru, Jul 14: Rupak Kumar Dutta, the director general and inspector general of police (DG&IGP) of Karnataka on Friday opined that only a handful of criminals were responsible for the communal tensions in the coastal region.

The top cop, who addressed media persons after reviewing the security measures undertaken by the Mangaluru city Commissionerate Dakshina Kannada district police in the wake of recent untoward incidents in the region, said that the Police will act with an iron hand against perpetrators of violence in the region. As part of this, the Mangaluru City and Dakshina Kannada Police will review five-year-old cases of communal violence.

Mr Dutta said: “If any criminal has not been not arrested it would be done soon. Some criminals, who are time and again responsible for communal violence, will be dealt with heavily. They will be deported, booked as rowdy sheeter or booked under K-COCA Act,” he asserted.

On RSS worker Sharath Madivala's murder incident, Dutta said the police are interrogating several suspects and investigation is going on in the right direction.

"We don't want arrest innocent people. It took nearly five months to investigate Karthik murder occurred in Konaje last October and actual culprits were arrested. It was alleged that Karthik murder was by banned Islamic organization, but investigation showed it was committed by his own family member. Similarly, police are doing a thorough probe into Sharath's murder. Give us some time," he said adding that people should have faith in police.

When asked was there intelligence failure during Sharath's funeral procession that led to stone-pelting when it reached BC Road, Dutta answered that some vehicle which loaded with stone had sneaked in during procession between Kuntikana to Bantwal. Police were not aware about it. "However, we have gathered all video footages about the stone pelting and right persons will be booked."

He also pointed out that duty of police officer is to discharge his duty diligently. "Heads will roll if any officer is found not doing his/her duty," he warned.

Stressing that people in Dakshina Kannada are peace lovers, Dutta pointed out that it is only a handful that are fomenting communal violence in region. "During my visit to DK, I have met several religious and other organisations. They have expressed need for peace and said they want to live in brotherhood with all community people."

Bhopal, Mar 11: After meeting with 19 party MLAs who have tendered their resignations, Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma on Wednesday said they are neither willing to support Jyotiraditya Scindia nor in favour of joining BJP as they were "misled and taken to Bengaluru" in Karnataka.

"Nobody is ready to go with Scindia ji. They said they were misled and taken to Bengaluru, most of them said they are not ready to join BJP," Verma told media persons on being asked about the 19 MLAs.

"I just came from Bengaluru and now I am going to Jaipur. Besides 5-6 ministers and one MLA, we all are going to Jaipur. They (MLAs) have said they have the blood of Congress and they will remain in the party. 
Since Scindia was a senior party leader, all our MLAs followed his order as a courtesy," he said.

The Congress leader further claimed that BJP is using both "muscle and money power" to influence Congress MLAs.

He also claimed that he is strongly in contact with 7-8 BJP MLAs.

On Tuesday, Congress sent two of its leaders -- Verma and Govind Singh -- to Bengaluru in order to pacify some of the rebel MLAs who are lodged in a hotel there and who claimed to have resigned from the state Legislative Assembly.

Most of the rebel MLAs are perceived close to Scindia and are apparently unhappy at Scindia being "ignored" in the party. The grand old party has been witnessing an internal turf war in Madhya Pradesh since the party formed the government in the state in 2018.

Scindia is likely to join BJP later today.
