Mangaluru, Sept 22: Dakshina Kannada district police has finally registered a case against Hindu Jagaran Vedike leader Jagadish Karanth for his extremist rant against Puttur Rural Police Sub-Inspector Abdul Khader.

The development comes after Karnataka home minister R Ramalinga Reddy took Dakshina Kannada SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy to task for failing to take action against a hatemonger who apparently tried to disrupt peace in the society and abused a Muslim cop.

Karanth at a public rally at Kille Maidan in Puttur on September 15 had cast professional and personal aspersion on the police officer and invoked his religion while making those accusations.

Based on a complaint from N K Omana, PSI (Law and Order), Puttur Town police station, a case has been registered in Puttur town police station against Karanth under sections 505(1) c, 505 (2), 153(A), and 189 of IPC.

The SP said, "We will take the case to its logical conclusion. Along with this (above) case, the PSI concerned (Abdul Khader) will also file a separate case of criminal defamation against Karanth."

Incidentally, minister Reddy after reviewing functioning of department in Western Range on Wednesday had told reporters that he was aware of the rant by Karanth against the police officer and had dismissed submission by the SP that department has sought legal opinion and would initiate action.

"Nip all such hate speeches in the bud and ensure they do not become the reason for any major law and order problem, irrespective of their affiliation," Reddy had said.

He also should have booked under, the prevention of Insults to national honor act, 1971

 

He has deliberatly insulted Constitution of India by saying that, why should we follow some thing written by a group of 4 people during 1947 to 1950.  He has no right to continue as Indian citizen. Strip his nationality and dump him in Hindu Maha Sagar.

Mangaluru, Apr 12: A 10-month-old baby who tested COVID-19 positive on March 27 completed treatment and discharged from hospital on Saturday.

He was the youngest positive case in Karnataka, from Sajipanadu village in Bantwal taluk.

The child had been with his mother to a relative's house at Monetepadau village, situated on the Karnataka-Kerala border in the first week of March.

A few days later the child developed an acute respiratory illness and tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Treating the breastfeeding child was challenging for doctors as he had to be isolated. A team of doctors from Wenlock Hospital took up this challenge and successfully cured the baby.

Test reports on his mother and grandmother too have returned negative. They too had been under quarantine and were discharged with the baby.

Another positive development was that no COVID-19 case has been reported from the child's village.  

The entire Sajipanadu village was completely sealed after the child tested positive and the district had provided all the necessary supplies to the villagers.

Kasaragod, Feb 17: A Kerala Muslim couple conducted the wedding of their Hindu foster daughter at a Bhagavathi temple in Kerala, scripting another tale of communal harmony at Kasaragod.

The wedding ceremony was held on Sunday.

The woman Rajeshwari tied the knot with Vishnu Prasad in the presence of family and friends belonging to both Hindu and Muslim communities.

Abdulla and Khadeeja adopted Rajeshwari after her father who worked at Abdulla's farm died. Rajeshwari's mother also passed away when she was a child.

Rajeshwari grew up alongside Abdulla and Khadeeja's three sons- Shameem, Najeeb and Shereef.

Earlier in January this year, cutting across the lines of religion, a mosque in Kerala's Kayamkulam hosted a Hindu marriage ceremony.
