Bengaluru, Oct 20: Gangster-turned-social worker N Muthappa Rai, who sought to intimidate his rivals with a display of lethal weapons during recent Ayudha Puja is in the dock as the Organised Crime Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) has issued a notice directing him to appear before officials.

Rai, who recently took over as president of the Karnataka Athletics Association had posted a video on social media performing a puja in front of a cache of arms and weapons. This was done on the occasion of Ayudha Puja on Thursday.

Mr. Rai, who also heads the non-profit organisation Jaya Karnataka, was seen in the video with long guns and machetes. The video went viral on social media.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police of the Organised Crime Wing issued the notice to Mr. Rai on Friday, seeking an explanation and the documents needed to own theweapons.

“We have issued a notice to the person concerned asking why action cannot be taken against him for the display of weapons,” said Alok Kumar, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime).

Another senior police officer suggested that the motive behind the display of the weapons would be to induce fear in the general public and that such an act is punishable under the Arms Act.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.

If Mr. Yediyurappa gives permission as reqested by Ibrahim, it will be adisastor for Muslims community, Saudi Arabia imposed , full curfew from 23rd to 30th May, 2020, this is to avoid Eid gathering and spread of Corona Virus, our community should boycott such so called self declared leader.

Any new cases of Covid-19 cases will be blamed as Eid Jihad, request all our like minded people to protest this request.

CM Ibrahim is just trying to attract media and public atttention. he is a useless politician.

Who is he? What is he? And what did he do to Muslim community and who gave him the authorization to talk to the minister of behalf of Muslim Community

It will be disastrous for PR, and Joy ride for Atunab & sudir...

This Chadi people will be very happy and start calling this Eid Jeehad...
