Mangaluru, May 27: Police have averted a murder and possible communal riot by arresting four miscreants including a Bajrang Dal leader, who were part of an anti-social conspiracy in Moodbidri town on the outskirts of the city.sumith

The arrest of Sumit Raj, a prominent leader of the Moodbidri unit of Bajrang Dal, was confirmed by the police.

A resident of Daregudde, Sumit Raj had allegedly involved in the violence following the murder of Bajrang Dal leader-cum-flower vendor Prashant Poojary in Moodbidri last year. He is also known for immoral policing in the area.

He was nabbed on Wednesday night based on the information provided by three miscreants who were caught by police along with murder weapons in a Maruti Omni.

Nataraj and Raviraj from Kunjathbail and Subhash Bajrangi from Kavoor, all three aged between 25 and 35 years were arrested by a team of CCB police led by inspector Valentine D'Souza at Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri on Wednesday. All of them were Hindutva activists, sources said.

The police also seized their Omni and lethal weapons such as matches and dagger from the miscreants.

While the trio was subjected to the rigorous interrogation it came to light that they had hatched a murder plot in Moodbidri to create a communal riot.

The trio also reportedly told the involvement of Sumit Raj in the conspiracy. This led the cops to nab him. He was produced before a court which remanded him to judicial custody. The other three are in police custody.

According to police the mastermind of the murder conspiracy was Bombay Kiran Shetty, native of Padumarpadu. Police have launched a manhunt for Sujith Shetty, a resident of Kallabettu who is also said to be part of the conspiracy.

Police never avert the murder of Hindus, be it common man or leaders. Prashant poojary was murdered in broad daylight by the anti national islamist forces. Where the hell were these police then? Now they arrested an innocent Bajrang Dal leader and these rubbish media make laud noise and level false allegations against him.

Police should have made these arrests soon after they unleashed violence after the murder of an eve teaser by some miscreants. Congress govt should wake up at least now and arrest goons of both Hindu and Muslim communities especially in Dakshina Kannada and leave them handicapped. That's the only way to restore peace in the region.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”

The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.

According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.

The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?”  the Court asked.

The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.

The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.

Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.

Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.

Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.

Bengaluru, Jul 5: A 50-year-old woman with breathing difficulties died on Saturday after a shortage of beds forced 12 hospitals to refuse admission.

Her husband Babu said the family had approached 12 hospitals in three days, including Victoria Hospital and other private facilities, who all slammed their doors on them, citing a shortage of beds. The woman died on Saturday, a few minutes into her admission at KC General Hospital.

Second death 

A 35-year-old man, Manjunath, also died on Saturday after enduring fever for three days and being refused admission at several hospitals due to a shortage of beds.

As his condition worsened, his wife admitted him to a private hospital on Saturday after hours of ordeal. But the man died less than 15 minutes after getting admitted. Hospital authorities took swab samples from the deceased and said the body would be handed over after the test results.

BBMP personnel also failed to shift the body of a Covid-19 patient in Kalasipalya almost a day after the death.
