Man arrested after attempted assault on Bhatkal Qazi

October 17, 2012

Bhatkal, October 17: An incident of an attempted assault on Moulana Khwaja Muhiddin Akrami Madani Nadvi, Qazi of Markazi Khalifa Jamaat-ul-Muslimeen, Bhatkal, has been reported.

The attempted assault took place on Tuesday. The man behind the assault has been identified as Ashfaq Armaar. He was arrested and an attempt to murder case was registered before he was produced before the court.

Other cases were also booked against him in the past and he is a man with criminal background, it is learnt. Since the Qazi had given witness against him in one of those cases, he took this step but was caught by locals and handed over to the police. As the news spread, people gathered at the police station and urged that strictest of actions be taken against him.

When contacted, the Moulana said that he was outside his house in Salmanabad area at about 10pm when Armaar arrived at the spot riding a bike. “He came right to the gate of my house and started abusing me stating that I had given witness against him in a case in the Karwar court and came forward to assault me. Although I kept telling him that I had not given any false witness against him, he kept holding and abusing me. Sensing the situation getting tense, the locals there gathered and started assaulting him. The police who then arrived at the spot took him along to the station”, he said.

When locals gathered at the station demanding action against Armaar, senior police officer Sudhir Kumar Reddy and others pacified the agiatating crowd and assured apt action.

SM Syed Parvez, Vice President, Majlis-e-Islaah-o-Tanzeem, Muhiddin Althaf Kharoori, Chief Secretary of Tanzeem, Mira Siddiqa, Abdul Raqib MJ, Muhammad Sadiq Matta, Imtiyaz Udyavar, Irshad Gawai, Sanaullah Gawai, and other citizens of Bhatkal also visited the police station and urged police to take action against him.

An assault case against Armaar was registered in Bhatkal police station in 2007 when he had allegedly tried to assault AM Gani, the then President of Anjuman Institutions, Bhtakal. A case of alleged murder of his own wife was also registered against him in 2005.

Kalaburagi, Mar 5: Kalaburagi Police has issued a second notice to AIMIM leader Waris Pathan, for his controversial remark, directing him to appear before the Investigation Officer on March 8 and give his statement.

Earlier, Kalaburagi Police Commissioner MM Nagaraj said that the police had served notice to Pathan and asked him to appear on February 29 before Investigation Officer.

On February 20, while addressing an anti-CAA rally at Kalaburagi, Pathan had said, "time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores."

However, Pathan later took back his words and had said he had not targeted any community but had spoken against members of some organisations.

"If any of my words have hurt someone, I take them back as I am a true Indian," he had said.
