Puttur, Sep 29: Nearly two weeks after his provocative speech sparked tension in Dakshina Kannada, police have arrested Hindu Jagaran Vedike leader Jagadish Karanth. 

Police sources said that Karanth, who was evading arrest for past one week, was picked up from an Airport in Bengaluru on Friday. He will be brought to Puttur to produce before the local magistrate,  sources added. 

Karanth at a public rally at Kille Maidan in Puttur on September 15 had cast professional and personal aspersion on the police officer and invoked his religion while making those accusations. 

However, police had failed to take action against Karanth for a week. This had angered Karnataka home minister R Ramalinga Reddy, who during his Mangaluru visit took Dakshina Kannada SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy to task. 

Following this on September 21, a case was registered in Puttur town police station against Karanth under sections 505(1) c, 505 (2), 153(A), and 189 of IPC.

Watched his hate-speech video, he has so much hatred against Muslims. This fellow can not lead a harmonious life in India as per constitutional parameters.  Either he should be behind bars as a burden to taxpayers or should be thrown out of country.
