Kochi, Jul 5: Supporters of Kerala-based People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bengaluru blasts case, staged a protest at the Cochin International Airport after his arrival was delayed.

Madani, lodged in a Bengaluru prison in connection with the blasts that left one person dead and injured 20 others, has been granted bail to visit his ailing mother in Kollam district and he was to take an IndiGo flight on Monday morning in Bengaluru.

Authorities here said according to their information, the airline refused permission to Madani to board its flight after it was found that necessary requirements for carrying a prisoner escorted by the police were not fulfilled.

According to the police, around 500 supporters gathered outside the terminal here to receive him. A section of them turned agitated after reports said that IndiGo refused to allow Madani to board the flight citing “some technical reasons”. Amid the melee, the protesters broke a glass pane of the IndiGo airline's counter located at domestic departure area of the Cochin airport, they said. A police team headed by Aluva Rural SP P N Unnirajan rushed to the spot to deal with the situation. The protest ended after they got an assurance that Madani will reach by air later.

The police said no arrests have been made, but added cases will be registered against those who were involved in the violence. The police said they used force to push out the slogan-shouting supporters.

About 8.15pm, Madani arrived at the Cochin International Airport in an IndiGo flight to a spirited welcome by PDP activists, adds DHNS from Thiruvananthapuram. He left for his home in Anvarssery in Kollam by road.

Dear Hari your statement should be changed. Please check the history. First of all the temples in india built after demolishing Buddist temples. So do you give back all the temples to buddists? Regarding Babri Masjid, since more than 400 years the musjid was there. So how come it is possible? there was temple?

Bengaluru, May 19: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government has recommended the withdrawal of 46 cases against leaders belonging to Sangh Parivar who had apparently involved in violence during the birth anniversary celebration of Tipu Sultan in the state. 

These cases – ranging from very serious forms of assaults on Muslims to unlawful assembly – were registered across Karnataka between 2014 and 2018.

Among the cases recommended to be withdrawn include those registered against senior state BJP leader Sanjay Patil, VHP leader Swaroop Kalkundri, and several district level Bajrang Dal activists. 

The government recommended withdrawal of these cases under Section 321 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on March 5. 

The recommendations, however, have been opposed by three crucial law enforcement departments – Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP), Director-Department of prosecution and Government litigation and Law department. 

While the DG & IGP has opined that these cases “cannot be withdrawn”, both the department of prosecution and law have observed that these are “not a fit case to withdraw”.
