Gau rakshaks attack farmhouse, destroy property over qurbani; victims booked

September 15, 2016

Bengaluru, Sep 15: This is not a story from strife-torn Uttar Pradesh or Gujarat. This happened in a relatively peaceful village in Bengaluru district of Congress ruled Karnataka, where Muslims celebrated Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, earlier this week.

A group of around 100 miscreants armed with stones, and sticks laid siege to a farmhouse on Jigani Main Road under the limits of Begur police station about 25km from the heart of the city on Wednesday afternoon, alleging that a cow had been slaughtered inside.

Trapped inside the isolated house for more than two hours, the family members denied they slaughter the cow and said they sacrificed a bull on the day of Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid) to accomplish qurbani ritual.

The so called gau rakshaks, who apparently belong to saffron groups, attacked the five-acre farm around 1:30 pm. They vandalized their family's car, bike and other property on the farm premises. Waseem Ahmed, the eldest son of the family, said he had gone outside when the attackers called him.

"When I reached the home, they were burying the bull while the police had arrived and listening to the mob. My parents and two brothers had been locked inside the house for over two hours. We were then taken to the jurisdictional Begur police station where we were made to stay till 11pm. Our phones were taken away as well," he said.

He further said if anyone had a problem with the slaughter, they should have called the police instead of storming their farmhouse. Police have not acted against any member of the mob which comprised mostly of locals.

Police, in the meanwhile, said they have recorded the family's statement and are ascertaining whether the family had relevant permissions for slaughter.
Superintendent of Police, Bengaluru Rural Amit Singh on Thursday said they collected samples of the animal to verify what it was and its age. "We have taken up a case against the family under cow slaughter laws," he said.

The family members were released on Thursday night on bail, Singh said, adding that they will investigate if there was any vandalism and take action against the culprits. Singh also claimed the situation is under control and police had reached the spot in time.

Ironically, the police neither arrested any of the miscreants who threatened the family and destroyed their property in the name of cow protection nor booked any case against them so far.

Ramesh Bhandari, Kudla.
Appreciate your comments.
Though Fish is \Matsya\" a avatar of Vishnu according to Mythology
and Pig is also \"Varaha\" a avatar of Vishnu according to Mythology,
Dharma Raakshas will not attack who consume Fish or Pork.
They just on to terrorize only Muslims on pretext of Gau Matha, Love Jihad or Conversion."

Siddu's era seems over.

Police should punish the culprits. I shame on my sangh parivar brothers. Will you damage my property if i kill fish ( even fish is also a avatar of our GOD ).

Stop acting as Dharm Rakshak and be human first

Saffron Terrorism is all supported by saffron police & saffron govt.

Bantwal, Feb 2: A 45-year-old man was found murdered in a parked Innova car at Shantinagar near Nagri in Sajipa Munnur in Bantwal taluk today.

The deceased has been identified as Tasleem, a native of Kerala who was wanted in a few criminal cases. He was, according to reports, a member of Kerala's notorious Ziya.

Tasleem was an accused in Kalia Rafiq murder in Ullal (2017). He was arrested last year in connection with a jewellery store robbery case registered in Mangaluru North police station and was sent to Kalaburagi prison. He was later released on bail.

Police are of the suspicion that a rival gang might have kidnapped him, tried to strangle him and then stabbed him in the stomach, before fleeing the spot.

The car had been parked at the spot since morning. The locals who grew suspicious at this informed the police. Circle inspector T D Nagaraj and other officers conducted spot investigation.

‘Vande Bharat’: 84 of 141 new repatriation flights for Kerala; only 1 for Karnataka

News Network

May 25,2020

The government of India has added 141 more flights to West Asian countries for the second phase of Vande Bharat Mission, its massive repatriation programme for citizens stranded overseas because of Covid-19-related travel restrictions.

The second phase was to end on May 22. However, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said the ongoing phase will last till June 13 and that India is looking at making Frankfurt a hub for the mission.

With these new flights, more than half of them to the United Arab Emirates, the total number of flights in the second phase of the programme have gone up to more than 400, people familiar with developments said on condition of anonymity.

The flights were added due to increased demand from citizens stranded in West Asian countries and the availability of adequate quarantine facilities in states for the returning Indians, the people said. As with all the flights operated so far under Vande Bharat Mission, priority will be given in the second phase to Indian nationals with compelling reasons for returning to the country, they added.

The additional flights are from the UAE (81 flights), Oman and Saudi Arabia (15 flights each), Kuwait (14 flights), Qatar (11 flights) and Bahrain (five flights).

A majority of the flights are bound for Kerala (84 flights), while the other destinations are Delhi (10 flights), Tamil Nadu (nine flights), Telangana (six flights) Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir (five flights each), Bihar, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh (four flights each), Punjab (three flights), Odisha and West Bengal (two flights each), Chandigarh, Karnataka and Goa (one flight each).

The other 260-odd flights being operated during the second phase of Vande Bharat Mission are from Armenia, Australia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Oman, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Tajikistan, the UK, Ukraine and the US.

The second phase of the repatriation programme began on May 16 and will continue till June 13, with all the flights being operated by state-run Air India and its subsidiary Air India Express. Private airlines are likely to be included in the third phase.

As of Thursday, a total of 23,475 Indians have been repatriated under Vande Bharat Mission. The second phase had included new destinations such as Istanbul, Ho Chi Minh City and Lagos, and had increased flights to the US and Europe.

More than 259,000 Indians in 98 countries across the world have registered to return under Vande Bharat Mission. Most of them are workers (28%), students (25%), professionals (14.5%), and short-term visa holders such as tourists (7.6%). Fishermen, deportees and Indian nationals who benefited from visa amnesties have also registered.
