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.

The police said that Illiyas, a prime member of the gang whose modus operandi was to take photographs of its victims in compromising position with women and then use such photographs for extortion, was first arrested for his alleged involvement in the extortion of two medical students.

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.

I believe that all criminals should be given fair trials, regardless of religion @ Ganesh we shouldn’t support fake encounter of even RSS, bajarangdal goons or Muslim Christian rowdy’s scums… or else lawlessness will prevail and people with power will start killing without being questioned…

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.
