Mangaluru: Police gets nod to prosecute Kalladka Bhat in hate speech case

Mangaluru, Mar 23: The state government has given nod to the city police to prosecute Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat in one of the cases, nearly a year after two cases were against him in connection with provocative speeches.

On April 6, 2018, the Konaje police registered a case against Bhat for allegedly making a speech inciting communal sentiments during a hunger strike against the theft of a cow from Amruthadhara Go Shala run by Sri Ramachandrapura Mutt. The hunger strike was by Rajaram Bhat, the caretaker of the go shala.

Another case was registered against Dr. Bhat on April 15, 2018 by the Bajpe police for his alleged provocative speech at Kajepadavu.

The two cases were booked during the campaign for the Assembly elections.

A senior police officer said the police had sought mandatory prosecution sanction in the two cases. A few days ago, the police received the sanction in the case registered by the Konaje police and a chargesheet was filed. “We are hopeful of getting sanction in the other case shortly,” the officer said.

As many as 32 cases were registered by the city police during the Assembly elections. Of them, 22 are pending trial. A case of alleged distribution of 100 shawls registered by the Mangaluru South police ended in conviction. The two cases against Bhat are among the few that the police were awaiting prosecution sanction.

This hate monger is required to be arrested immediately as he is planning to create disturbance in society during election.   I urge EC to strip his voting power also.   He should not be allowed to make any speech in public and should be put in jail forever.

Bengaluru, Feb 5: New Tulu movie Pingara has bagged the NETPAC International Jury Award at the 12th edition of Bengaluru International Film Festial (BIFFes) on Wednesday.

Written and directed by Preetham R Shetty, the movie revolves around people who worship daivas (spirits) of Tulu Nadu.

The narrative goes back and forth in time, to tell the story of a family to Sinchana (Chaitanya Chandramohan), a journalist from Bengaluru who visits a village in Tulu Nadu to ‘write on Tulu culture.’

The film speaks about the caste system in Tulu Nadu and the struggle for land in the post-independence period.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the murder case of journalist-activist Gauri, arrested absconding suspect Rushikesh Devdikar alias Murali (44) from Dhanbad district in Jharkhand on Thursday evening and is bringing him to the city.

Rushikesh is the 18th suspect arrested in the case, Chief Investigating Officer M N Anucheth said. The investigation has revealed that he was primarily involved in the conspiracy to murder Gauri.

Rushikesh, who was hiding in a house in Katras, Dhanbad, will be produced before the local Judicial Magistrate in Dhanbad on Friday, said Anucheth, adding that the SIT had searched his house for clues. "We will obtain a transit warrant from the court and then bring him to Bengaluru," the officer said.

Originally from Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Rushikesh's family still lives there.

Gauri Lankesh was shot dead near her residence at around 8.20 pm on September 5, 2017, by two bike-borne men.
