Mangaluru, Nov 23: The police have arrested two members of the notorious Target Gang for their alleged involvement in a murder in Ullal on September 2.

The police gave the names of arrested persons as Illiyas, one of the leaders of the Target Gang and his alleged associate Sumro Imran. While Illiyas was arrested from a flat in Jeppu, Imran was arrested from a lodge near Dadar Railway Station in Mumbai.

Soon thereafter, he was booked under the Goonda Act (The Karnataka Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug offenders, Gamblers, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders and Slum Grabbers Act, 1985) in 2014. Following his release, Illiyas, in association with Imran, was involved in the murder of Dawood in Ullal on September 2. They both went absconding.

The police said that Illiyas was an accused in 25 criminal cases, including dacoity and attempt to murder in Mangaluru Bajpe police, Udupi’s Padubidri police and Uttara Kannada’s Yellapur police limits. Non-bailable warrants (NBWs) had been issued against him by courts for non-appearance in four cases. Imran is an accused in nine criminal cases and is facing NBWs for non-appearance in three cases, the police said.

Newsroom, Feb 21: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has claimed that Amulya Leona, who raised pro-Pakistan slogans at a pro-India event in Bengaluru, had links with Naxalites.

The 19-year-old B.A. student was arrested on sedition charge after she raised pro-Pakistan slogans at a peaceful protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in Bengaluru yesterday.

"Bail should not be given to Amulya. Her father has also said he won't protect her. It’s proved now that she had contacts with Naxals. Proper punishment should be given," Yediyurappa said in Mysuru today.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who snatched mike from Amulya’s hand, said that her slogans only helped Bharatiya Janata Party and those who are trying to suppress people’s movement against racism and communalism.

Interestingly, Amulya hails from a family which has close association with Sangh Parivar. Her father Wazi Noronha was a leader of minority of wing of BJP in Koppa taluk of Chikkamagaluru district.

He had worked in support of hardline BJP leader and Udupi-Chickmagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje, and D N Jeevaraj, who had represented Sringeri constituency last time.

Meanwhile, a group of people attacked the house of Wazi at Gullagadde near Koppa last night. A group of Bajrang Dal activists also compelled him to shout ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’.
