Mangalore, August 11: Former Mayor Ashraf, along with a Congress delegation and his son Araf, on Wednesday evening met Mangalore City Police commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh to clarify the issues raised in the wake of allegations against his son Araf.

Araf was accused of luring a girl in to drug addiction and planning to pack her off to Mumbai. The girls' father Mr Arjun had even accused Araf of trying to convert his daughter.

Ashraf in his meeting with the police commissioner claimed that his son was innocent and was pursuing his education in Mumbai. He also urged the police commissioner to investigate the issue and reveal the truth to the public.

Ashraf revealed that the girl had shared a friendship with Araf. He had warned the girl against a friendship with Araf taking into account the communal sensitivity of the region.

He said that a month ago, girl's father Arjun had stormed into his house with some Bajrang Dal activists and demanded to know Araf's whereabouts. Later the girl's mother and sister had approached him demanding to speak to Araf.

Ashraf said he had called his son from his number out of sympathy for the distressed mother, who claimed that her daughter had left for Mumbai. She also proposed a Marriage between Araf and the girl. But Ashraf said he denied any such relationship.

Ashraf also said that he had recorded the conversation between him and Arjun and provided it to the police.

It can be mentioned that a delegation comprising Bajrang Dal and VHP activists recently met city police and demanded to take action against Araf, accusing him of being a part of drug mafia.

Mr Singh said that the police were looking into both the complaints and that the girl's friends were being questioned. But a case had not been registered yet as the girl had not given a statement, he added.

Bengaluru, Jun 4: Karnataka opposition leader Siddaramaiah created a flutter on Wednesday saying many disgruntled BJP leaders had met him.

"Many disgruntled BJP lawmakers have met me and, of course, expressed their displeasure," tweeted Siddaramaiah.

Congress leader Siddaramaiah''s statements assume significance as recently several reports emerged highlighting some north Karnataka legislators meeting over dinner to put pressure on Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to expand the cabinet and offer them ministerial roles.

North Karnataka leaders such as Umesh V. Katti, Chitradurga MLA G. H. Thippareddy and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and others met over dinner.

However, the Chief Minister said he was too busy to even look at the dissidence because he is occupied with development work of the state and fighting Covid.

Siddaramaiah, the former chief minister, alleged that Yediyurappa''s son Vijayendra is functioning as a non-constitutional chief minister.

"This is true in the BJP. That dissent will continue. We are not responsible if the government collapses," he pointed out.

The Congress leader said Karnataka has stooped to the level of not being in a position to even pay salaries to its employees.

"The state was the first in economic discipline during our government. Now the government has no money to pay salaries to government employees. Not only the state but the entire country is financially bankrupt," he said.
