Mangaluru, Jul 9: The Mangaluru city police today opened fire when three notorious rowdies having links with several saffron outfits allegedly attacked them in an attempt to evade arrest near Adyar on the outskirts of the city.

One of the rowdy-sheeters who tried to attack cop has been identified as Bhavith Raj. He was among the three miscreants who had tried to kill a Muslim mango trader in the wee hours of Sunday near Kulshekhar Chowki. Though the trader Umar Farooq was transporting mangoes in a goods truck, Bhavit and the two other saffronites had accused him of transporting cattle and assaulted with a sword. The policemen who later visited the spot had confirmed that Farooq was transporting mangoes and not cattle.

This morning a team of police waylaid the car of the accused in the case on a narrow road near Adyar. To evade arrest the occupants of the car allegedly attacked cop with knife and machete. However, the cops managed to arrest Bhavit from the car after opening fire in self-defiance. Two others managed to escape.

According to police sources, Bhavit is already facing eight criminal cases including murder attempts. Mangaluru city police commission Sandeep Patil visited the spot after the incident.

Well done Sir.  Such criminals should not be allowed to live.  Encounter is the only solution which will give good lesson to ther rowdies.   These rowdies had planned to kill the mango trader in the name of Cow.  However, the trader is lucky to survive.  Thanks for God.   The escaping rowdies should be arrested immediately and harsh punishment like encounter or life imprisonment should be given.   We have observed that some innocents are being shot by police whereas they did not shot down these rowdies.

Well done sir. Great job. But you could have done one thing. Instead of wasting bullet & govt. food in Jail, you should have encountered them. They deserve that. At least good people can live in peace.

Hassan, Feb 2: Former prime minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda has said that the controversy over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act should be resolved peacefully through discussion.

Speaking to reporters in Halebeed on Saturday, Gowda said that the Act affects only Muslims but would also prove troublesome for the Hindus. “Opening fire on anti-CAA protesters is the not solution to the issue,” he said.

Deve Gowda said that during his tenure as prime minister a number of problems concerning Muslims were addressed. “But, in the run up to election, Rahul Gandhi described us ‘B’ team of BJP. This led to vote swing,” he added. When his comment was sought on the budget, the former prime minister said that he had not yet read the budget document.
