Hindu extremists hurl crude bombs at Chennai media house

March 12, 2015

Chennai, Mar 12: Four alleged Hindutva extremists hurled two crude bombs packed in tiffin boxes at the office of a Tamil TV news channel Puthiya Thalaimurai in Chennai at around 3 am on Wednesday, according to reports.

The entire incident was caught on CCTV camera, according to Zee News. The footage showed four men on two bikes hurling two bombs at the office. No one was injured in the attack, said the report.

According to PTI, A Hindu Ilaignar Sena worker has taken responsibility for the attack and has surrendered to the police.

Firstpost contacted the CEO of New Generation Media Corporation (Puthiyathalaimurai Group) RBU Shyam Kumar who said that around 3.15 am four men on two bikes went by the office and almost three minutes later came back to hurl the boxes in the office premise.

"Earlier, there have been protests against media houses in Chennai but this is the first time that a group attacked a media house," Kumar told Firstpost.

Kumar said that on Women's Day, the channel planned to air a show on the relevance of the 'thali' or the 'mangalsutra' which was criticised by the Hindu Munani groups. "It was a debate show and we were discussing the relevance of the 'thali'. With more and more women opting not to wear it, we thought it was a good topic to debate on Women's Day," Kumar added.

According to Kumar, last Sunday, a mob attacked a cameraperson and another staff from the TV channel right outside the office. The mob was approaching the office to stage a protest against the show. Kumar said the protests were staged by Hindu Munani groups. Police had arrested ten people, Kumar added.

The broadcast of the debate show has been put on hold for now, an NDTV report said.

With channels and experts debating over curbs on free speech in India, this could set a bad precedence, Kumar said. "The attack was of low intensity but the intent behind the attack was bigger than it seems and we condemn it. If this is what the state of media is in India then we should be worried," he added.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”

The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.

According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.

The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?”  the Court asked.

The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.

The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.

Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.

Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.

Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.
