Mangalore witnesses another grisly crime; minor girl raped for a year by two youths

February 18, 2012

Mangalore, February 18: In a shocking case of sexual abuse of a minor, a 13-year-old girl was repeatedly raped allegedly by her two neighbours for a long time at Kandathpally area in the city.

The incident involving the class VI student of Government Urdu Higher Primary School located near Bunder has caused uproar and questioned the utter anarchy and lawlessness under the limits of Mangalore City Commissionerate.

The accused, identified as Mubarak and Wahid, both residents of Kandathpally, have gone absconding after the little girl disclosed about the brutal rape.

Though the accused had allegedly raped several times since April 2011, the case had remained unreported till Saturday, as the girl was hesitant to reveal the truth.

The girl's parents, who hail from Badami, are residing at small room belonging to the Urdu School. The girl's father Hanumantha is a daily wage labourer and mother does cleaning, sweeping and other menial works at the School for a small salary. The victim is the eldest daughter among five children of the poor couple.

The accused used to rape the helpless girl after enticing her through chocolate and other things, says a complaint filed at Bunder Police Station.

The girl has also revealed to police that she was also raped inside a moving car several times.

“When there was vacation for school in April 2011, Wahid used to visit the girl's house and take her with him under the pretext of providing household works for payment. After raping the girl he used to warn the girl not to reveal what happened on her. During school days, he used to take her saying that he would give her money if she washed his car. Wahid's friend Mubarak too had raped her several times”, police sources said based on girl's complaint.

However the girl finally dared to disclose the truth to her parents when Wahid invited her again on Saturday. A shocked parents immediately approached the police.

“An investigation has been launched after registering a case. We are on lookout for the accused”, said a source from police station.

Karnataka | Drop plans for doorstep liquor delivery: HDK tells BJP govt

News Network

August 8,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life.

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health.

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians
