Mangaluru, Sep 1: More than a year after a Hindu youth from Sullia taluk in coastal Karnataka embraced Islam, a group of Hindutva activists on Wednesday staged a protest in his village urging the government and police department to arrest him to find out if he has links with any terror group.
24-year-old Satish Acharya from Mavamjadka in Mandekolu village had accepted Islam on his own will last year in Kerala, where he was working. A certificate issued by Therbiyathul Islam Sabha of Kozhikode on April 15, 2015 stated that Sathish had changed his name to Muhammed Mustakim following his four-month stay at the sabha.
After conversion, he did not break up his relationship with any of the family members and went to mosque from his home without any hesitation. Even though it was an internal matter of his family for one year, recently a few local Hindutva leaders came to know about the about his change of faith and reportedly threatened him.
On Wednesday, August 31, a group of protesters, led by Sangh Parivar activist and former local gram panchayat president Suresh Kanemaradka, gathered in front of the bus stop at Mandekolu village and raised slogans against Muslim organizations that help Hindu youths to accept Islam.
The protesters said that the police should arrest the converted youth and subject him to rigorous interrogation to find out the truth behind the conversion. They claimed that radical groups were luring innocent Hindu men and women in various ways and using them for anti-social activities.
Addressing the protesters, Mr. Kanemaradka said that the way Sathish had changed his religious thoughts had led to fear among the villagers that radical groups may try to influence youths from the village, which was known for communal harmony.
He said that security agencies should considered this conversion case very seriously and conduct a high level probe. He also warned to intensify the protest and make it a national issue if the police failed to take necessary action against all those who played role in his conversion.
Incumbent president of Mandekolu gram panchayat Mohini Chandrashekar said that the fear was more so because the conversion of Sathish had come at a time when youths from Kerala had left their villages allegedly to join the ISIS.
Another Hindutva activist Vinutha Pathikallu said, “It is unfortunate that such a disturbing development has been reported from the village, where both Hindus and Muslims are living in harmony. If the people will opt another religion for the lure of money, it is equal to dishonouring one's mother.”
Former panchayat president Jayaraj Kukketti, Lakshman Ugranemane, BJP Shakti Kendra, Jalsuru unit president Uday Kumar Achar, TP former vice president Mamatha were among the protesters.
Meanwhile, the local police have reportedly confiscated the mobile phone of the converted youth and questioned a few Muslim men who were in touch with him. Sources said that the family members of the youth did not take part in the protest.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

Dear Manohar,
Many of my friends converted to islam in Mangalore, long time back and you know wats their opinion is?,,, that we as friends never informed them about islam that's the reason they took long time to converts, now they are very practising Muslims then we,
you know why, brcause we are Muslims by chance, but they by choice!!!, my friend please understand before comment, thats why people are attracting towards this religion and do some homework in sha Allah you will also realise the truth behind ,
that is the reason we have one more life after death where god will decide our destiny to live in heaven or hell, which will be decided by our deeds & actions on this earth,
so if anyone has a good mind will try his best to get heaven in here after, think twice before it too late,
now I informed you the truth don't tell on the day of judgement to the god that no one informed you about this , good luck brother may god bless you and us all.
Dear Manohar whenever you talk about muslims, yoiu point out that they belongs to pakistan. This question you need to ask Advani, Sushma, gujral family whose ancestors are from Pakistan. Did you questioned any time? Do you have the guts to question them? Many of the Hindu families are belong to Pakistan Origin. We trust them without questioning. Then why we look at as pakistani who are born indian? Ravishanakr clearly rasied slogan in favour of pakistan. Did any one question them?Where are you at that time? Sitting in cave? If you are natilaist go and protest.
Manohar......Modi went to Pakistan for bed tea, through back door.....Are you going to cut his head ?????????
Mr. Manohar, you are always welcome to join Islam......superb religion....you wont regret.....may Allah give you Hidaya!
Welcome brother to Islam.Now you have to chose right people from Muslim community to flow Islam,
Do not see Muslim only flow Islam in best way In sha Allha.
Aameem
It is the ignorance of God's knowledge that the cheddis feeded. Cheddis always take a kind person away from God knowledge.
ISLAM is a divine religion and no one can harm it... its a challenge and those who challenged have themselves accepted ISLAM. It is better for them to stay neutral rather than making enemy of ISLAM.
I request the Saffron member ... First Learn what is ISLAM .. it will introduce U to YOUR CREATOR who created U , ME and all that exists...
Dont Play with divine religion.. U will try every effort, U will spend every money, U will use every manpower but in the end U wIll be the LOSER and UNSUCCESSFUL... & bow down to it.......
I believe in ONE GOD ALLAH
Muhammad as my messenger
and ISLAM as my religon...
ISLAM is against terrorism... I dont need to prove that to the cheddis...instead I feel pity they dont know their own CREATOR and fall trap to the LIars and deceivers.
@althaf yahh i agree its his personal issue what about ramya's matter what makes muslim groups to support her and protest everywhere, does your group belong to pakistan?
@althaf yahh i agree its his personal issue what about ramya's matter what makes muslim groups to support her and protest everywhere, does your group belonging to pakistan?
When family members did not take part in protest, then who the hell are they to stage protest.
when hindu youths marry muslims women you guys celebrate with a procession.
What ever you plan but ALLAH is the best planner of all.
First of all know what is religion.
If any religion is not just nor contradicting truth, science, then it can not be the real religion. those are called blind faith.
As nobody has contradiction on 1 God, then find which is the right religion.
Be wise to discover it and follow it. And share it honestly with as much as possible. That true religion will never says to harm or spoil relation with others.
Don't think all our ancestors have followed the right faith.
Perhaps some have followed rightly and some were wrong.
When you know the truth, follow the truth.
The GOD has given us brain, use it properly.
IF YOU CANT FOLLOW ATLEAST KEEP QUIET DONT TROUBLE OTHERS, DONT INTERFERE WITH OTHER'S AFFAIRS.
Dear Chaddi team
What is the problem with you people. If anybody accept islam or any other religion what cause you problem. You people are protesting because one hindu population has been decreased. DO not ever try to interfere in one's personal matter. If you dont like islam and muslims do not make trouble to others who is willing to accept islam.
Whole of the world will accept islam soon in sha Allah. That time you people may suicide .
He took a right path! Alhamdulillah!
Ma Sha Allah welcome to Islam brother.. Dogs will bark and let them bark.. Allah is with you brother..
this will help more people towards islam in that village.
