Suspected Bajarang Dal activists attack auto driver and his Dalit friend

February 6, 2011

Vittal, February 6: Two youth belonging to different faiths have been attacked by a group of six suspected activists of Bajarang Dal at Serkala near here in the night of Saturday, February 5.

The victims have been identified as Abdul Khader (22), an auto-rickshaw driver and his Dalit friend Yogish (19), a house driver- both residents of Salethur.

The incident occurred when Yogish was returning to a programme after dropping his three cousin sisters to their house in Khader's rickshaw in Serkala.

Background:

At around 10 pm on Saturday, when both the victims were together in a programme at Salethur, someone hired Khader's auto-rickshaw to Serkala to attend a Yakshagana programme.

Yogish too accompanied Khader to Serkala along with the passenger. Coincidentally, Yogish met his three cousin sisters, who were watching Yakshagana there. When they requested him to drop them to their house, Yogish asked Khader to start his rickshaw.

When Khader and Yogish were returning back to the programme after dropping the girls to their house, a group of miscreants stopped their vehicle and attacked them after abusing them, sources said.

According to Yogish, the reason for miscreants' anger was that he dropped his cousin sisters' to their house by an auto-rickshaw belonging to a Muslim man.

“There were six people and they were looking like goons of Bajaranga Dal. They beat me and Khader brutally. When, I tried to convince them that the girls were my cousin sisters and we dropped them to their house as per their request, they continued to assault us asking me why I hired a rickshaw belonging to a Muslim driver”, said an injured Yogish.

Khader, who identified five of the assailants as Karna, Sujeer, Suresh, Mahabala and Bhaskar, said when he requested the miscreants repeatedly not to assault but they turned more violent and damaged his vehicle also.

Khader has sustained injuries on his head and back. Both the victims have been admitted to Government Hospital in Vittal.

According to the sources, the assailants are planning to cover up the issue by pushing for a compromise formula with the victims.

New Delhi, Mar 7: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the bail granted by Karnataka High Court to 21 Popular Front of India (PFI) members accused in connection with violence that erupted during the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Karnataka's Mangaluru in December 2019.

On February 17, the High Court had granted bail to the accused on the bail petition filed by Mohammed Ashik.

A bench consisting Chief Justice S A Bobde issued notice to the accused on Friday after taking cognisance of the plea filed by Karnataka government against the bail granted by the High Court.

Appearing for the state government, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta criticised the High Court's order stating that at least 56 policemen sustained injuries during the violent protests.

Two persons identified as Jaleel (43) of Kudroli and Nousheen (49) of Bengre had died at a private hospital following the bullet injuries they sustained in an alleged police firing during a protest against CAA 2019.

Forget UAE banks, B R Shetty owes Rs 19.13 billion to Bank of Baroda too

News Network

May 19,2020

Mumbai, May 19: Even as banks in United Arab Emirates are trying to trace NMC founder BR Shetty, a prominent bank in India is seeking to recover loans worth Rs19.13 billion from him and his companies.

A local court has also barred him and his wife from selling or transferring some properties while it hears the case.

In the court filing, the Bank of Baroda said Shetty had an obligation to handover the title deeds of the 16 properties and mortgage the assets with the bank.

The 16 properties in several Indian cities including Bengaluru were among guarantees put up by Shetty and his wife against the Rs19.13 billion ($253 million) loans, according to a May 16 court order seen by Reuters. The court in Bengalaru set the next hearing in the case for June 8.

NMC, the largest private healthcare provider in the UAE, was placed under administration in April after months of turmoil. It disclosed in March it had debts of $6.6 billion, well above earlier estimates of $2.1 billion.

Finablr, in which Shetty has a controlling stake, said in April it may have nearly $1 billion more in debt than previously reported.
