Bengaluru, Mar 10: Naveen Kumar KT alias Hotte Manja, a hardline Hindutva activist and gunrunner, who was arrested last month in connection with the murder of journactivist Gauri Lankesh, has now been booked for allegedly plotting to assassinate progressive writer and rationalist Prof. K S Bhagavan.

The police on Friday added Section 307 (attempt to murder) and Section 120(b) (criminal conspiracy) to the FIR. 37-year-old Naveen was allegedly part of a group that was plotting a target the writer in a manner similar to how Guari Lankesh was killed.

“Naveen Kumar did a recce for the planned hit on professor Bhagavan. He along with his associates surveyed the writer’s house in Mysuru, and other places he frequented,” said a senior police officer.

“They also conducted target practices in isolated places in Chamarajanagar forest range. During a detailed questioning, the accused confessed to this, and we have sufficient evidence to corroborate the conspiracy,” said the officer.

According to officials, Naveen, who hails from Madur taluk of Mandya district, founded the right-wing extremist organisation, Hindu Yuva Sene. The police picked him up from Kempegowda Bus Station, Bengaluru, on February 18 while he was allegedly waiting for his associates. Fifteen live cartridges — .32 calibre — were recovered from him.

“He was on our radar and his arrest was timely. We believe that a delay on our part would have allowed him to target professor Bhagavan,” said the officer. Naveen was arrested in connection with this case and a city court remanded him in police custody for nine days on February 19. On March 2, he was remanded in judicial custody.

The 5th Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, on Friday, granted bail to Naveen in connection with the arms case. The bail was granted minutes before the SIT submitted to the court documents to add Section 307 — which is a non-bailable one — and section 120(B) in the FIR. “We are filing a revision petition before the court seeking cancellation of the bail,” said M.N. Anucheth, Deputy Commissioner of Police, (West).

If he is from other religion then wide media coverage with immediate punishment he will get. But fate is against justice,, He is hindutva goon

For what reason, cops are not ready to arrest that goon. Already 18 coomplaints against him and Gauri murder case also.

Where is yeddy.. Stop blaming siddaramaih for unwanted reason. Try to behave like a human.. You and your people are the no. 1 terrorists

Mangaluru | Family’s presence of mind during covid victim’s last rites preserves communal harmony

June 28,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 28: The patience and presence of mind exhibited by the family members of youth covid-19 victim thwarted the attempt by a few miscreants to create communal disharmony in the coastal city today.

A 31-year-old youth from Idya in Surathkal, who was under treatment for covid-19 at designated Wenlock Hospital in the city, passed away last night.

Even though there is a Muslim graveyard under the jurisdiction of Idya mosque, it was waterlogged due to heavy rains.

Hence, the Idya mosque management had obtained permission from Mangaluru’s Bolar mosque management to bury the mortal remains of the youth in Bolar graveyard.

All necessary arrangements were made at the Bolar graveyard for the burial this morning. Meanwhile, a few residents of Bolar belonging to another community staged a protest against bringing covid-19 victim’s mortal remains to Bolar.

Mohammad Husain, general secretary of Bolar mosque, said that the family members of the departed youth exhibited their presence of mind and urged the Muslims of Bolar to preserve communal harmony.

“The Bolar mosque committee had given green signal for the burial and all arrangements were made. Meanwhile, a few people staged protest and warned us against burying the covid-19 victim’s body. When the aggrieved family members came to know this, they immediately cancelled the plan,” he said.

“The aggrieved family requested us to uphold communal amity and co-existence. They decided to bury the body in Idya itself. Then the protesters also returned,” he said.

Burial in Bolar after DC’s intervention

When the mortal remains were being taken towards Surathkal in the ambulance, the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada ordered the authorities concerned to take a U-turn and bring back mortal remains to Bolar.

The DC said it was wrong to take the mortal remains to another place after making all necessary armaments in Bolar graveyard. In order to pacify the porters it was decided to dig another grave on the other side of the graveyard, sources said.

Ayodhya over, now Kashi and Mathura have to be liberated: K S Eshwarappa

News Network

August 5,2020

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples.

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.

Take private medical colleges into confidence: HDK to Karnataka govt

News Network

July 19,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Senior JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday advised the Karnataka government to utilise the services of private medical colleges in treating Covid-19 patients, by taking them into confidence, instead of threatening them with license cancellation for not complying with directives.

He also said a concentrated effort should be taken in the fight against coronavirus. "It was wrong for any hospital to deny treatment. It is also not correct on part of the government to threaten the private medical colleges with cancellation of their licence for that reason. It won't be of any help at this time of medical emergency.

Remember that MCI has the authority to cancel licenses, not government," Kumaraswamy tweeted. "Instead of showing fury on private medical colleges at such a time, concentrate on taking their service by taking them into confidence. Look into their needs. I urge for a concentrated fight against coronavirus," he added.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had on Saturday convened a meeting with Private Medical College Hospitals regarding Covid management and directed them to provide 50 per cent of the beds as promised.

In another tweet, Kumaraswamy said the notice being put out by local administrations in front of coronavirus patient's house is leading to new age social discrimination and untouchability.

To ensure that infected patients and his family leads a respectable life, such a practice has to be dropped immediately. "..... instead health workers should be sent to their houses to educate and instill confidence in them," the former CM added.
