Four 'adventurous' madrasa students trespass at Belagavi airport

October 15, 2016

Belagavi/Bengaluru, Oct 15: Four students of a madrasa were detained for trespassing on the runway of the Belagavi airport and moving around suspiciously on Friday.

trespass

Police released the students after it emerged that they had set out on an adventure, and the madrasa's principal gave an undertaking that the incident would not recur.

A total of 12 students, aged 18-22, climbed the airport's eight-foot-high steel wire fence which runs parallel to the compound wall and ventured near the runway in the high-security zone.

The incident happened around 10.30 am, more than an hour before the scheduled arrival of a SpiceJet flight from Bengaluru, official sources said. Personnel of the Karnataka State Industrial Security Force (KSISF), which is in charge of security at the airport, were caught unawares.

They managed to detain four students but others escaped. Those detained were identified as Shaikh Sameer, 20, from Hyderabad, Bandenawaz Jamadar, 19, of Bagalkot, Toufiq, 19, and Babul, 18. They are all students of a madrasa at Pant-Balekundri village near the airport, around 13 km from Belagavi city centre, the sources said.

The detained students didn't possess any mobile phones. The madrasa's principal, Mohammad Saleem Walikar, visited the jurisdictional Marihal police station and confirmed that the youths were students of the religious school.

He gave an undertaking that such an incident would not recur. The students were later released, Belagavi Police Commissioner T G Krishna Bhatta said.

The madrasa has around 200 students. With Friday being the weekly holiday for the madrasa, the students had set out on an adventure and trespassed on the airport.

The airport's compound wall cuts access to an approach road to farm fields and housing colonies of Honnihal, Balekundri, Modaga, Mavinkatti and Pant-Balekundri villages.

The villagers are opposed to the construction of the compound wall, saying it deprived them of the approach road.

Shepherds graze their sheep on the airport premises while inquisitive youths often watch planes land and take off as they hover above their head.

Security tightened

Friday's incident initially alarmed security officials as Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was to arrive in Bengaluru in the afternoon.

Not taking any chances, the Bengaluru police have tightened security in and around the Kempegowda International Airport and the HAL?airport.

Additional Commissioner of Police (East) P?Harishekharan said that the jurisdictional DCP and ACPs had been instructed to carry out intense patrolling and sabotage checks and look out for suspicious movements. Airport authorities have been directed to thoroughly frisk the passengers, he said.

Mohammad Hussain Ali Qureshi, a resident of Kalaburagi, was arrested on December 3, 2015, after he was found to be filming the Belagavi airport. His camera also had pictures and videos of other locations.

BJP indirectly admitted covid scam; Cong only getting publicity but not filing complaint: HDK

News Network

July 27,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.
