Mangaluru, Sep 17: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of the National Women's Front on Saturday staged a protest in the city demanding the government to hand over the case of placing hidden camera at the women's toilet on Mangalore University campus to Criminal Investigation Department.

The protest comes two days after M.Sc. student Santosh M Acharya, the main accused in the case was granted bail by a local court within a day after his arrest by the Mangaluru city police.

The protesters lamented that the case was being taken lightly since the beginning. Even though a hidden mobile with its camera on was found in the women's toilet on August 24, the university lodged a formal police complaint only on September 1. The police managed to catch the accused after two weeks but they registered silly cases against him.

Santosh, a resident of Sullia, was charged under IT Act 66 and Section 354 C (voyeurism). However, the protesters demanded that the police should charge him of violence against women, as he has violated the privacy of the female students of the university and also posed a threat to their safety and security on the campus.

Speaking on the occasion, Shaida Tasnim, general secretary, Federation of Women's India Movement, said that if a sadist and pervert like Santosh can get bail within a day after his arrest, then it is an insult to all women. “This development has exposed the loopholes in the system,” she said.

Shahida Yusuf, general secretary of NWF, said that the system has indirectly shown green signal to a dangerous pervert' to commit more crimes by allowing him to walk free in spite of his confession. “Stringent action should be taken against him. The police should also investigate whether more people had involved behind the crime,” she said.

Idiot, first show any case like this. See if there is a rape it would be done by non muslims, any pub attack its done by non muslims, any other communal disputes again non muslims, however if muslims raise a voice they should be remanded or Punished, Muslims just raised a voice saying the person should be punished, Who knows tomorrow your sister may be a victim, then would you say the same comment.

These black cat commandos would not have staged protest if the accused was Abbu Beary. These people give communal tinge to each and every case. Nam desahada karma.

Bengaluru,  Mar 26: The nationwide lockdown in the view of coronavirus outbreak has driven some people to the edge. In Karnataka, within less than 24 hours, two cases of people creating trouble for police personnel have come to light.

On Wednesday, a middle-aged man was shot in his leg by the police after he tried to assault two police constables of Sanjaynagar police station. The police constables were identified as Manjunatha and Basavararaju.
The accused reportedly breached the check post at Bhoopasandra. He and his friends were over-speeding and performing stunts on bikes. When the policemen tried to secure them after giving them a chase, they attacked the cops.

When they were taken into custody, one of them again tried to escape and hurled stones and bricks on the cops. In order to prevent further assault, the police then fired two rounds – one in the air and the second one on his left leg.
