Mangaluru, Jun 3: A group of over a dozen miscreants, owing allegiance to a saffron outfit, allegedly thrashed a group of Muslim pilgrims who had come to Kajur Dargah near Belthangady on the outskirts of the city on Thursday.

bdThe incident has created a tense atmosphere in Kajur-Kolli. The police has tightened the security in the area. Dakshina Kannada SP Bhushan Gulabrao Borase and DySP Bhaskar Rai also visited the spot to take stock of the situation.

Five among the six member group of pilgrims attacked by the alleged Bajrang Dal activists are minors.

The local police gave the names of the injured as Mohammed Misbah (16), Saifuddin (15), Nizamuddin (15), Rahuddin (14), Fazil (17) and Munaf (21), all hailing from Balehonnur in Chikkamagaluru district.

According to the victims, who have lodged a complaint with jurisdictional Belthangady police station, they were taking bath in Netravati River near Kajur Dargah when the gang of miscreants targeted them.

The miscreants who came by an auto-rickshaw bearing registration number KA 21 7738 surrounded all the six pilgrims. Two of the miscreants began to thrash them while others enjoyed the scene.

It is learnt that the main reason for the miscreants' anger was that the place where the pilgrims were taking bath was known as Devara Gundi' and according to local Bajrang Dal activists the entry is restricted to Hindus alone.

After thrashing the six pilgrims on the river bank, the gang took them to a nearby Hindu temple. Before releasing the pilgrims, the miscreants snatched their money in the temple and warned them against complaining to police.

Bajarangis are basically poor and illiterate people. They were used as voting devices by BJP during the election time.

Bengaluru, May 25: The 36-hour marathon lockdown call given by Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, passed off peacefully with people opting to remain inside their houses and cooperate with the state government to fight against spread of deadly Covid-19.

Though the call was only for 24 hours from 7 am (Sunday) to 7 am (Monday) another 12 hours was added to it as the night curfew was already in force from 7 pm on Saturday and the next day (Sunday) it continued till Monday up to 7 am.

Autorickshaws and bus service were off the road giving a tough time to people arriving from neighbouring places reach home that too during the night. Adding to their woes was heavy rain that lashed the city for more than two hours on Sunday evening flooding the streets.

Vijayapura, June 18: Shoukat Ali Sumbad, a local farmer, has donated land for the construction of Chennamma memorial, modelled on the Kittur fort, at Sindagi town in Vijayapura to celebrate the town's connect with the valorous Lingayat queen who fought the British in 1824.

Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swamiji of Lingayat Panchamasali Peetha Kudala Sangam said Shoukat Ali came forward to donate his land adjacent to the state highway when local authorities failed to provide land for the memorial. 

"The committee led by Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swamiji sought a 15x10 plot but when I went through their plan of constructing a model of Kittur fort, I decided to donate 425 sq ft," said the 61-year-old farmer. 

"Rani Chennamma is the pride of every Indian, irrespective of caste and creed, and my contribution is nothing compared to her sacrifice for the nation," he added.

Shoukat Ali, who lives in the neighbouring town of Almel, said he is a man of modest means but proud to make the contribution. "I own nine acres of land in Almel. I have six sons and two daughters. Two of my sons run small businesses in Mumbai. Ten of us live in a small house in Almel," he said.

“I also work as a broker to sell or buy sites. I had bought 15 guntas of land in Sindagi for my children some 15 years ago. When our MLA MC Managuli and Swamiji sought land for the memorial, my entire family agreed wholeheartedly” Shoukat Ali said.

“As Chennamma’s history is linked to Sindagi, there has been a demand for a memorial here since 2008, but the town municipal council failed to provide land due to political and technical reasons,” said Swamiji. 

“There were plans to observe a Sindagi bandh in the first week of June to protest the indifference of authorities. But then Sumbad gave us his land. We have formed a committee to construct a model of Kittur fort and a bronze statue of Chennamma at a cost of Rs 28 lakh,” he added.

New Delhi, Mar 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the validity of Karnataka's 2018 reservation law, which granted reservation in promotion to employees belonging to SC and ST categories.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud holds that applications filed by a group of general category employees for applying 'post-based quota' and the principle of the creamy layer at entry-level in public employment are not maintainable.

The apex court had, in November last year, reserved its order on the applications filed by general category candidates in the matter.

In May last year, the top court had upheld the law allowing reservations in promotions for SC and ST candidates with consequential seniority.
