Mangaluru: NaMo Birgade leader denied anticipatory bail in RTI activist murder

Mangaluru, Apr 29: The Second Additional Sessions Court in Mangaluru has rejected the anticipatory bail application of Hindutva leader Naresh Shenoy, the supposed master behind the gruesome murder of the RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

nareshNaresh Shenoy was the founder of the Mangaluru unit of NaMo Brigade, which is now known as Yuva Brigade.

The murder took place on March 21 and the accused has been absconding since March 25. Even though he has been able to file an application for anticipatory bail through his lawyer, the police have been unable to apprehend either him or a co-accused Shrikanth who also have been at large.

Welcoming the court's decision, Narendra Nayak, a social activist, said that while the aged parents of Baliga and his unmarried sisters shed their silent tears in helplessness, those who are behind the crime are busy manipulating things to mislead the trial.

“The very fact that the accused Naresh Shenoy has been able to evade arrest shows the inefficiency of the Mangalore police,” he said.

Protest march on May 2

He said that several like minded organisations and activists have planned to stage a protest march on May 2 at 3.30 p.m. from the place where Vinayak Baliga was murdered.

The march will be via Kodiyalbail, Vithoba temple road, Temple square, Bhavanthi Street to the Police commissioner's office, where the agitators will present a memorandum to the top cop.

Naresh Shenoy should be locked behind the bar for lifetime, govt should give the shelter to Baliga's family.

Bengaluru, July 29: The Central Crime Branch arrested four international drug peddlers belonging to Kerala and recovered drugs worth Rs 1.25 crore from them, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday.

"We have started a war on drugs. Our agenda is to curb the drug mafia not only in Bengaluru, but in entire Karnataka. Many people are involved in the drug mafia. They are targeting students, other states, and international students who can spend and afford to become victims," said Bommai.

The recovered items include 2,000 kg LSD strips, 110 grams MDMA Cristol, 10 ecstasy tablets, 5 kg Ganja, five cell phones, weighing machine and pouches.

"When we raided a house in Soladevanahally police station area, we arrested Shahad Mohammed, Azmal, Ajin KG Verghese and Nitin Mohan. All are from Kerala and we will arrest their contacts as well. They are involved in the dark web mafia," Bommai said.

He said the peddlers were using post offices and couriers for their business.

"I'll speak to the central government, the home ministry and postal department, and other issues related to this mafia. Canada, Netherlands, and other nations are also involved in this mafia," said the state home minister.

"People from influential backgrounds are also involved in this mafia, but our objective is zero tolerance. We are using our intelligence. Drugs are coming from other states like AP, Goa, and other states," he said.
Bommai said he was personally addressing this case and appealed for support from parents, schools and colleges.

"I'm addressing this issue personally because it's important to curb the drug mafia. I need support from schools and college managements and parents. I'll also call college and hostel managements before colleges start. We will make managements responsible," he said.

Bengaluru, Jan 22: The suspected man in planting of a live bomb at the Mangaluru International Airport surrendered before the DG and IG of Karnataka Police, Neelamani Raju, here on Wednesday, police sources said.

The accused was identified as Aditya Rao, a resident of Udupi.

The accused was taken for questioning by the Halasurugate Police, where he was being interrogated intensively, the sources further said.

According to them, he confessed that he planted an explosive device at Mangaluru Airport on Monday said that it was an act of revenge for denying him an employment by the Kempegowda International Airport Limited (KIAL).

He was arrested by the Bengaluru police in the past for making a hoax call to the police stating that a bomb had been planted at the Bengaluru Airport.

Karnataka Home minister Basavaraj Bommai told the media that 'the Bengaluru police have taken the custody of Aditya Rao, who is being subjected for a thorough interrogation'.

The Mangaluru police was also likely to join the Bengaluru police into the investigation, the sources added.

Bomb has weaken once bomber name appears. Now time for fact finding, family emotions, personal attachments etc. If he was Muslim it would have connected to ISIS, Anti-CAA, Pakistan, Kerala..
