Mangaluru, Jan 20: A local youth, said to be a Bajrang Dal activist, wanted in the murder case of Harish Poojary has been arrested by the Dakshina Kannada district police in Gujarat.

terrorRaviraj, one of the four accused involved in the killing of Harish Poojary on November 12, 2015 in Bantwal taluk, had left the coastal district after police came to known the fact that the murder was committed by Bajrang Dal activists.

On November 19, the police had managed to arrest Bajrang Dal leader and rowdy-sheeter Bhuvith Shetty (25) and his associate Achyuta (28), near Mani village in Bantwal taluk. On November 30 the cops had arrested another accused Mithun Poojary (27) of Goltamajalu, near Bantwal.

However, the police had failed to trace Raviraj, the fourth accused, who was living in his uncle Ramsh at Vastrapur in Ahmedabad district of Gujarat. On January 18 a team of Police from Bantwal rural police station visited Ahmedabad and arrested him.

Circle inspector Belliyappa, under the guidance of SP Sharanappa and ASP Rahul Kumar, led the team of police comprising Sub Inspector Rakshat, ASI Ramesh and constables Jagadish and Raja to nab the culprit.

It could be recalled here that Harish Poojary and his friend Sameeullah were attacked by the miscreants with lethal weapons at Manihalli in Bantwal taluk hours after Sangh Parivar activists tried to disrupt peace by pelting stones at SDPI protesters in BC Road. Harish died soon after the attack and Sameeullah is still recuperating at a hospital.

A day after killing Harish Poojary, the district unit of Bajrang Dal had imposed bandh alleging that he was killed by Muslim groups.

Now am wondering how do the hindus feel when they see some of their people doing crime and whole the community is blamed and called as saffron terrorism. Same as happening when few muslims do some crime and whole community is blamed for it.

Matter of time..

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing. 

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide. 

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today. 

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides. 

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back. 

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala. 

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

 Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.

Mangaluru, July 23: Lavanya Ballal, national co-coordinator for social media department of Indian National Congress, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of destroying the nation by misleading the youth.

In an interview with a regional Kannada news paper, the Dakshina Kannada based activist, lamented that instead of using social media for the welfare of the nation, BJP leaders used it to spread lies for their political gains. 

On one hand BJP fooled people through false promises and colourful dialogues, while on the other hand it misled crores of youth by spreading fake news, twisted facts and false information, she said.

Ms Ballal went on to accuse BJP of following the footsteps of the British. “BJP is following all the methods employed by the British invaders to divide the people of India and make them hate each other,” she said.

She said that Congress always used the social media for the benefit of the country. If the new generation realises this fact, the country will once again turn its direction towards development, she asserted.
