Mangaluru, Jan 21: A notorious Bajrang Dal leader, who was arrested on charge of murdering a Hindu youth in Bantwal to trigger communal violence, has managed to secure bail from Karnataka high court.

buvithshettyBhuvith Shetty, Bantwal unit co-convenor of the saffron outfit, was arrested by Dakshina Kannada district police a week after he and his associates allegedly murdered Harish Poojary, attempted to murder his friend Sameeullah on November 12 with the only intention to spread violence.

The police had earlier said that Bhuvith Shetty and his associates had confessed to the crime. He was booked under IPC sections 341, 324, 307, 302 and others, he informed.

After a local court rejected his bail plea, he had moved high court. His advocated argued that he was arrested only based on suspicions without any solid evidence. The high court bench decided to grant him bail on Wednesday.

It could be recalled here that Harish Poojary and his friend Sameeullah were attacked by the miscreants with lethal weapons on November 12 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. A day after this brutal attack the Bajrang Dal and other saffron outfits had imposed a violent bandh in coastal Karnataka alleging that the murder was committed by Muslims.

In August 2015, Bhuvith Shetty was arrested and released by Mangaluru city police after he posted a threatening tweet against writer K S Bhagwan for his remarks on the Bhagwad Gita. He had also claimed on twitter that he had chopped the hand of a Muslim youth.

In March 2015 the Bantwal town police had registered a case against Bhuvith Shetty for defaming Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge Minister Ramanath Rai by posting a photo, in which he is donning a saffron shawl, on a social networking site which attracted derogatory comments.

These goondas have been backed by RSS and its money.
They guide them to kill, loot, riot etc. etc. to the Hindu youths especially Billawas and Shetty's ( never Brahmins and Konkani's)
and promise them that anything went wrong they are responsible .
Their case, their family expenses, releasing them etc. etc. RSS has a strong God fathers in Law and Police system.
They spoil our youngsters in the name of hindutva.

Dubai, Apr 11: An Indian expat in the UAE is facing police action for allegedly insulting Islam on social media in response to a Facebook post on the coronavirus, according to a media report.

Rakesh B Kitturmath, who worked as a team leader at Emrill Services, an integrated facilities management (FM) headquartered in Dubai, was sacked on Thursday after his post sparked outrage on social media, the Gulf News reported.

“Kitturmath’s employment stands terminated with immediate effect. He will be handed over to Dubai Police. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards such hate crimes,” said Stuart Harrison, CEO of Emrill Services.

"As an organisation, we have worked hard over the years to embrace diversity and create a culture of inclusion, where every nationality, religion and background is welcomed and celebrated. We have a strict social media policy for our employees to ensure they respect our values, both inside and outside of work," the newspaper quoted Harrison as saying.

Harrison said they are trying to find out if Kitturmath was still in the UAE, according to the report.

“We have over 8,500 employees so this may take a while. That said, we have fired him. If he’s still in the country, he will be handed over to Dubai Police,” he said.

Originally from Ranebennuri, Karnataka, Kitturmath joins an ever-growing list of Indian ex-pats who have landed in trouble for alleged Islamophobic messages in recent days.

Earlier this week, Abu Dhabi resident Mitesh Udeshi was sacked for posting a cartoon mocking Islam on his Facebook page while a police complaint was filed against Sameer Bhandari of Future Vision Events & Weddings’ in Dubai after he asked a Muslim job seeker from India to go back to Pakistan.

The UAE outlaws all religious or racial discrimination under a legislation passed in 2015.

The anti-discrimination/anti-hatred law prohibits all acts “that stoke religious hatred and/or which insult religion through any form of expression, be it speech or the written word, books, pamphlets or via online media.”
