Mysore, May 28: Four persons have been arrested by police in connection with the May 23 attack on Kodagu Bajrang Dal leader Ganesh alias Nanda Kumar, near Madikeri.

The arrested have been identified as Khaleel Pasha, Javed, Junaid, and Hamid. The Kodagu police have stated that all the four persons were activists of Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD).


They were remanded in judicial custody till June 2 after they were produced at the court on Saturday. Two motorcycles and lethal weapons used by the accused were confiscated by the Madikeri police.

The accused, who were riding two motorcycles, had stopped Ganesh's car on the Madikeri-Somwarpet Road on the night of May 23 and attacked him. Ganesh was undergoing treatment at a private hospital here and is stated to be out of danger.

Protest

Hindutva organisations planned to take out a march and stage a dharna at the Deputy Commissioner's office in Madikeri on May 29 to protest against the attacks on Ganesh, secretary of the Kodagu Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) unit, C.N. Somesh told presspersons in Madikeri on Sunday. No one should ignore the feelings of the members of the Hindu communities, he said.

The procession would begin from the Sri Chowdeshwari temple in Mahadevpet in Madikeri after a puja at 10.30 a.m. on May 29. It would pass through the main streets and converge at the Deputy Commissioner's office to stage a dharna, Mr. Somesh said. Representation would be submitted to the Deputy Commissioner to deal sternly with the accused.

Those who tried to meddle with the Hindu sentiments would have to face serious consequences, he said. The Kodagu district administration and the police must take the issue seriously, he said.

Mr. Somesh said a police officer in Kodagu had connived with anti-Hindu elements which attempted to murder Ganesh. A complaint would be lodged against the officer with the Home Minister and inquiry sought to ascertain the role of the officer.

Bajrang Dal local leaders Roy Thammaiah and P. Ramesh, VHP leaders M.B. Devaiah and I.M. Appaiah were present.

Hassan, Feb 9: Accusing the Centre for treating Karnataka as its enemy Former Minister and Congress leader UT Khader on Saturday said that the state did not get support from the Centre on the Mahadayi issue and flood relief and even the Union Budget.

Speaking to the media here, he said that the state has elected 25 BJP Lok Sabha members. Three from the state were Ministers in the Union Cabinet and another MP has been appointed president of the party’s state unit.

'None of them have spoken about the injustice done to the state in the budget. The budget document announced Rs 18,600 crore for the suburban railway in Bengaluru. But, ultimately the amount earmarked for the project is only Rs 1 crore. How can any BJP leader justify this?', the Congress leader wondered.
