Bengaluru, Oct 15: The Social Democratic Party of India today held a ‘Raj Bhavan Chalo’ rally in Benglauru demanding repeal of the National Register of Citizenship (NRC), which is being utilized as a weapon by the Centre to target Muslims in Assam.

The protesters said that about 40 lakh names were left out in the NRC in Assam which worsened the situation of poor and backward Bengali speaking people in the state. Surprisingly, thousands of peoples’ names were missed out in the NRC even when their close relatives and family members’ names were registered in the same.

The protesters forwarded a memorandum to the president of India urging him to take necessary steps to either repeal NRC in Assam or if the government adamantly insists on NRC, then it has to include all the people living in Assam as the citizen of this country up to this day.

In a released issued here, SDPI observed that the people who are missed out from NRC may fall into the clasp of massive mistrust, frictions and oppression from the society and state as well. This will create a big state-made civilian crisis which will impact on to the neighboring states also.

The central government and state government of Assam should not fall into the pressure created by any divisive forces which are unnecessarily create false hue and cry and ruckus over Bengali speaking people in the state, it stated.

Stabbed 8 times, woman fights back, pulls attackers helmet, dies after giving statement

News Network

February 11,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 11: A 36-year-old woman who fought back after being stabbed eight times by a helmet-clad intruder succumbed to injuries at a hospital.

Susheela was in shock after she pulled off the attacker’s helmet as it was her own brother-in-law. Before breathing her last, she explained the sequence of events to the police.

She said her brother-in-law attacked her because he was eyeing their ancestral property worth over Rs 10 crore. “Susheela put up a stiff resistance and identified her assailant. But the stab injuries proved to be fatal,” said a police officer. Based on her statement, Ananth Kumar, 42, was arrested on murder charges.

The attack occurred on February 7 at Honaganahatti village in Tavarekere, off Magadi Road. Susheela, whose husband Gangaraju died in a road accident 12 years ago, was living with her 14-year-old daughter and 75-year-old mother, Rudramma.

On Friday, her daughter had gone to school and Rudramma was sitting outside the house when a man walked in wearing a full-faced helmet and attacked Susheela with a knife. She defended herself with a stick used for making ragi balls and by throwing chilli powder at his face. But the attacker stabbed her on the hand, neck and head. He fled when Susheela identified him and raised an alarm. Neighbours rushed her to a hospital.

During questioning, Kumar reportedly confessed to the crime, saying he wanted to get rid of her as she was not agreeing to sell five acres of their ancestral property.

Susheela’s nephew Kiran G said: “The family owned six acres. Kumar sold one acre for Rs 50 lakh a few years ago after convincing Susheela. He, however, paid her only Rs 5 lakh. Lately, he was pestering Susheela to sell the remaining land as buyers were ready to pay Rs 2.5 crore per acre. But she was hesitating as she had been cheated by him earlier.”

Police are now examining the circumstances under which Gangaraju was killed. “We learnt the driver who had been arrested in connection with Gangaraju’s accident is currently working with Kumar,” said an officer.
