Bengaluru, Dec 22: Scores of fans of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah today participated in a march in support of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the capital of Karnataka.

The pro-government agitators also emphasised on the need to create awareness among others and said that the people who are protesting against this new Act are not familiar with the clauses of the Act.

"All the people of Bengaluru have gathered today to support the CAA Act which has been brought by the Central government...The misinformation campaign has to be dispelled and the outreach programme has to commence. Many independent thinkers have organised this demonstration and certainly, in the coming days, more support will swell up," said one of the enthusiastic supporter while speaking to media persons.

"We held a silent gathering in support of the CAA...People protesting against it do not know what is CAA... What is CAB? No one can oppose it as it has been framed by the Constitution. The laws are framed by the Indian Constitution. No one will be discriminated on the basis of the Act. One must go read the entire Act thoroughly,"

The supporters were seen holding placards with the slogans " CAA is secular, India supports CAA, CAA is good for India". They were also shouting slogans in support of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Centre.

CAA grants Indian citizenship to all non-Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014. However it considers Muslim immigrants as infiltrators.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: The Karnataka police has arrested a German national wanted for kidnapping and causing bodily harm to a person in his home country, an official said on Wednesday. The person was also found to be overstaying on an expired visa, which police said that it appeared that the visa had been tampered with to look more current.

"On receipt of credible information by the CID Interpol Division officers, the Red Corner Notice subject, the German national Alexander Bruno Wehnelt, was traced at Hulimangala village," a police official told media persons.

Hulimangala is on the outskirts of Bengaluru city.

Alexander, 55, escaped from Germany and took shelter in Bengaluru.

The Interpol Division of CBI NCB (Central Bureau of Intelligence, Narcotics Control Bureau) in New Delhi had communicated to the Interpol liaison officer in Karnataka's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) about Alexander, directing extensive search measures to trace the criminal at large.

The Narcotics Control Bureau of Wiesbaden in Germany was on the hunt for Wehnelt for the crimes he committed in 2015, and have finally found him five years later.

"A special team of officers was constituted by the CID - Interpol division under the supervision of ADGP (Additional Director General of Police) B. Dayananda and the Interpol liaison officer and efforts were made to trace the subject," said the official.

On Monday, the police received credible information leading to his arrest.

"It was learnt that his visa had expired in 2016 and he tried to show a visa which was issued in December 2019 which had expired on Saturday, June 13," said the official.

Prima facie, it appeared that Alexander had tampered with his visa and the police are probing on that front as well.

He was handed over to Hebbagodi Police Station in Bengaluru Urban, for his overstay and a criminal case has been registered against him, under the Foreigners Act.
