Another attempt to trigger communal tensions in Mangalore: Pig's body found inside Masjid

November 12, 2012

Mangalore, November 12: In yet another attempt to trigger communal tensions in the region, miscreants have dumped a headless body of a pig on the premises of another Masjid at Mallur-Demmale on the outskirts of city.

This is the third such incident in the region in last four days. Local residents have linked the Monday morning's discovery to similar incidents reported last week from Farangipet and Suralpady areas.

The body, which is especially offensive to Muslims who consider pigs and consumption of pork to be unclean, was first noticed by a devotee who went to Masjid to offer Fajr Namaz at around 5 a.m.

As soon as the news began to spread, local Muslim residents gathered outside the Masjid in large numbers to protest the act of miscreants.

However, jurisdictional Kankanady police rushed to the spot immediately and brought situation under control. Security was tightened near the Masjid and surrounding areas to prevent any untoward incidents.

It is immediately not known who dumped the pig's body inside the Masjid, but local residents have expressed suspicion on some communal outfits.

“This is the act of those miscreants who are repeatedly trying to spoil harmony of the society. They always try to trigger communal violence through such foul tactics especially during festivals - be it Eid or Diwali”, said a cleric of the same Masjid.

Don’t send me to Mumbai; I will be killed there: Ravi Poojary to cops

News Network

February 29,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 29: Gangster Ravi Poojary, who was arrested from Senegal earlier this week, and is being interrogated by the Cental Crime Branch (CCB) police, wants to evade the Mumbai police for any kind of inquiry. Claiming that there is a serious threat to his life, he is believed to have told his investigators that he should not be sent there. Poojary is being grilled by the CCB for his alleged involvement in numerous cases.

“He is aware that he will be given to the custody of Mumbai police as he had committed several crimes before fleeing India and also made hundreds of extortion calls to the well-heeled there. Hence, he has started requesting us not to send him to Mumbai. He claimed that he has many rivals there and they may go to any extent to get him killed,” a source said. Poojary was once an associate of dreaded underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Poojary has little option but to face Mumbai cops

Poojary had left Dawood’s gang and had joined Chhota Rajan, who split from D-Company and established his own network. There were also attempts by Dawood’s men to assassinate Rajan on a few occasions. During his days in Mumbai, Poojary was also reportedly facing threats from Dawood and other gangsters. “Since Poojary had jumped bail in the murder case of a gangster in Mumbai and f l e d the country, he has no option but to face trial again. Besides, he has made over a hundred extortion calls to businessmen and celebrities in Mumbai in the last two decades.

It’s inevitable for him to face inquiry by the Mumbai police,” an official said. “Now that he knows his options are limited, he is requesting us not to send him to Mumbai under any circumstance, claiming that he faces a serious threat to his life by Dawood’s aides and others. However, when we are done with questioning him, and if Mumbai police approach the court, it will decide whether to give him to their custody or not,” the official added. Poojary, who was brought to India on February 24, has been remanded to police custody till March 7. The police are likely to seek extension of his custody as he is facing close to 100 cases in Karnataka.

Cases filed in 4 states the gangster, originally from Malpe in Dakshina Kannada, has cases against him in Kerala, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. At least 46 cases are registered in Bengaluru alone.
