CT-RaviBangalore, Apr 26: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday demanded the government withdraw the murder case against an Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) constable who gunned down Kabeer near Sringeri.

At a press conference here, BJP State general secretary C T Ravi said, “No doubt the incident is accidental, but nevertheless the youth, Kabeer, who was killed was not an innocent.”

By booking a murder case against the ANF?personnel Naveen Naik, the government demoralised the force, he claimed.

“The government has succumbed to pressure from SDPI and Komu?Souharda Vedike and increased the compensation paid to Kabeer's family from Rs five lakh to Rs 10 lakh.” he alleged. He said Kabeer and his associates had started to run as soon as they saw the ANF?personnel approach them. The personnel were doing their duty, he claimed.

“The personnel will hesitate to open fire even if they come across real Maoists,”?Ravi said.

He said that booking the constable for murder would crush the morale of the ANF as well as the police force who would not try to take any risk in the future. This may result in strengthening of the Maoist cadre, he said.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday launched 'Sapthapadi', a mass marriage program in Bengaluru.

The state authorities will provide a mangalsutra worth Rs 40,000 and Rs 5,000 to the groom. They will also give Rs 10,000 to the bride after marriage.

The state government has also informed that the department has shortlisted some temples where the mass marriages will be held.

Yediyurappa also confirmed that the government will help communities like Muslim and Christians also to organise mass marriage as per their respective rituals.

According to the state government guidelines, issued last year in November, both parents of the couple should attend the ceremony if the duo wants to avail benefits of this offer but those who want to marry without their parent's permission do not stand a chance here.

Also, those wanting a love marriage will not be able to reap the benefits of the scheme. The plan is to conduct about 1,000 marriages in 90-100 temples.

The couples wanting to tie the knot are expected to register themselves 30 days before the scheduled date in the temple. Following which a list will be prepared.
