Allah will not spare these cruel policemen, definitely they will die painful death!!

Its is shame on police dept for having such goonda type staff. I request the IGP to dismiss the poice staff responsible for murdering an innocent youth and transfer benefits due to these Police to the family of deceased. Govt should annount at least Rs. 25 lakh compensation to the family of the deceased.

There are many provocative whatsapp messages are being circulated on daily basis, are they going to kill all of them....reckless police should be arrested and given life imprisonment for their crime....

When Akhlaque ( Dadri )Killer died in hospital due to kidney failure Govt payed huge sum of more than 20 Lakhs Rupees. When a minor innocent Muslim killed by police no one raise voice. No compensation. Innalillah..

When 5 dalith's were beaten by upper caste Sangha Pariwar in Gujraj the entire Daliths i protested against brutality against them.

But when a muslim boy was beaten cruely and murdered by the police entire muslim's are mum.

In Muslims there is no unity . Shame on you Ranchi muslmano.

This incident shows us how police department discriminate the community. if any RSS member post anything like this, the police department even not file a single complaint against them. May Allah forgive all his sin & grant his Janna. Ameen

June 11,2020

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
