Gauri murder: Hindu Yuva Sene leader to undergo neuro-psychological tests

Bengaluru, Apr 16: Hindutva leader and gunrunner K T Naveen Kumar, arrested for his alleged role in the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh will now undergo neuropsychological tests. Special Investigation Team officials will be taking him to the Forensic Science Laboratory in Ahmedabad for the tests.

The 37-year-old founder of the Hindu Yuva Sene is currently lodged in the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru.

“The FSL in Gandhinagar has agreed to carry out the required tests between April 16 and April 30,” said a senior SIT official.

The third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court had given permission for the tests on March 12 after Naveen gave his consent.

The police will most likely take him to Ahmedabad on April 16, said sources. Soon after he was informed of this development, Naveen withdrew his consent.

He wrote to the jailer seeking his help to inform the court that he was no longer willing to undergo the tests.

In his letter, he alleged that the police had coerced him to give his consent to the magistrate with the promise that they would help him get bail.

However, senior SIT officials said that his latest retraction will not hold as he had already agreed to it in court. “We will conduct polygraph and brain electrical oscillations signature profiling (brain mapping) which will help our investigation,” the official added.

When he was first produced in court Naveen had refused to be subjected to the tests. But a few days later, he deposed before the magistrate and said that he was ready to cooperate with the police.

Naveen’s lawyer Veda Murthy has asked permission to be present during the tests. “I’ve asked the SIT to inform me of the dates and will approach the court for more clarity on this,” Mr. Murthy said.

Naveen was initially arrested by the Central Crime Branch on February 19 for ‘illegally’ possessing a firearm and fifteen .32 calibre live bullets.

The SIT arrested him on March 9 for his alleged involvement in the Gauri Lankesh case and also booked him for allegedly plotting to assassinate writer and rationalist K.S. Bhagavan.

Cops arrested one guy and put evrything upon him. The main goon or leader will be safe always. Actually the leader is more dangeruous than this goon. He has more power both political and money. He might have some motive behind this murder. So he should get arrested and punished

Mangaluru, Jan 2: The Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi has dropped its plan to stage a massive protest against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act and National Register of Citizens on January 4 at Mangaluru’s Nehru Maidan.

Addressing a press conference here today, committee chief K S Mohammed Masood made this announcement.

“All the 28 organisations that had decided to stage protest under the leadership of the Muslim Central Committee, have unanimously agreed to temporarily cancel the protest plan after the city police refused permission for the event,” he said.

Mr Masood requested the people, especially the youth, not to lose patience. “No one should head to Nehru Maidan on January 4 as Muslim leaders have unanimously decided to cancel the protest,” he urged.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
