No evidence for seer’s allegation against singer Premalatha: CID

February 22, 2017

Karwar, Feb 22: Central Investigation Department (CID) has given clean chit to singer Premalatha and her husband Divakar in connection with alleged blackmail case filed by Sri Ramachandrapura Mutt and its Seer Raghaveshwara Bharathi Swami.

1seerlatha On Wednesday, the CID team submitted ‘B’ report to the Honnavara JMFC court stating that there was no solid evidence to prove the allegations made against Premalatha and her husband by the seer.

Premalatha had earlier filed a complaint against the seer accusing him of sexually exploiting her for many times in the mutt.

In his complaint to Honnavar police in August, 2014, the seer had claimed that Premalatha and Divakar had demanded Rs 2 crore to "not to lodge rape complaint against him".

Following the complaint filed at Honnavar police station in 2014, after an enquiry by the police department, the state government had transferred the case to CID for further investigation.

Background

It could be recalled here that last year a local court had given clean chit to the same seer in the rape case filed against him by Premalatha.

Prior to that the CID charge sheet in the case (164/2014) registered with the Girinagar police station in Bengaluru, had established that the seer has sexually abused the singer repeatedly during the Rama Katha discourses across the country since 2011.

The vital evidence in the case claimed by the CID was the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report. The CID stated that the FSL report confirmed that the DNA sample found on the material evidence matched with the DNA of the seer. The charge sheet also stated that the seer repeatedly threatened the victim of incurring divine displeasure (if she did not comply). Hence, section 508 of IPC was also included.

The court had taken cognisance of the charge sheet and had summoned the accused. Before the stage of Hearing Before Charge (HBC), the seer had filed a discharge application. The CID objected stating that since the charges against the accused were serious, only a trial would unearth the facts. The court, however, discharged him of all the offences.

The victim had stated that after the Rama Katha programme at Gokarna in Uttara Kannada, in September 2011, the seer had made the first sexual advances at her.

Later, during the Rama Katha discourses held at Jodhpur in Rajasthan in October 2011, the seer had called her to his private room and given her some prasadam. The victim stated that the sexual abuse had taken place in Kolkata, Mumbai and in nine districts of Karnataka. The victim was a prominent singer in the Rama Katha programmes and the seer was also present during these programmes. The CID had conducted mahazar and recorded the statements of witnesses at all the places stated by the victim.

In July 2014, a woman by name Deepika, who participated in Rama Katha discourses, filed a complaint with the Honnavar police saying she got threatening calls asking her not to participate in the discourse.

In August 2014, Mutt staffer Raghavendra Madhyasta filed a complaint with the Puttur town police stating he got threat calls asking him not to support the seer.

In August 2014, one Chandrashekhar of Ramachandrapura Mutt filed a complaint with the Honnavar police against the victim in FIR number 164/2014 and her husband of blackmailing the seer for Rs 3 crore. The couple was arrested by Honnavar police and kept in judicial custody.

In August 2014, victim's daughter filed a complaint with the Girinagar (Bengaluru) police stating the seer had sexually abused her mother. The CID filed a charge sheet against the seer; the court (on Thursday) discharged the seer.

In August 2014, victim's brother-in-law Shyamprasad Shastry committed suicide by shooting himself at his residence in Puttur, Dakshina Kannada district. Shastry’s wife Sandhya Lakshmi filed a complaint stating that her husband was threatened by the mutt staff to ask the victim to withdraw the rape case against the seer.

Police slap sedition charge on Amulya for raising pro-Pakistan slogan

News Network

February 21,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 21: Amulya Leona, a college student, who raised to pro-Pakistan slogans to embarrass organisers of a protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) here on Thursday evening, has been charged with sedition.

The student-activist, who was allowed to talk on stage, suddenly raised pro-Pakistan slogans. She was arrested by police after All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi snatched her mike.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Ramesh Bannoth confirmed the girl has been charged with sedition, provoking enmity between groups, and intentional insult to provoke breach of peace.

It was just after Mr. Owaisi’s arrival on the stage at Freedom Park here that the 19-year-old student was asked to speak. After preliminary remarks, she suddenly shouted “Pakistan zindabad” thrice, leaving the crowd and organisers stunned.

Some of the organisers rushed to her and tried to take the mike away and stop her from speaking further. Mr. Owaisi too joined in and snatched the mike. Holding on to the mike, the girl then went on to shout “Hindustan zindabad” twice, before a posse of police personnel and organisers whisked her away from the stage

Soon after the student was taken away, a visibly upset Mr. Owaisi told the crowd: “Whatever has been spoken [by the girl] is wrong. Neither my party nor I has any connection with it. As long as we are alive, we will be raising Bharat zindabad slogans. Never had we any relationship with Pakistan nor will we have anything in future,” he announced.

He further stated: “This is condemnable. The organisers should not have invited such people to this place. If I had known that these kind of things would be said here, I would not have come here.”

It is unfortunate that the organisers have invited such people and a wrong message is going out, he said. “Now, BJP has got an opportunity and will blame me,” he added.

Every speaker, who took the podium after the incident, condemned the pro-Pakistan slogans raised by Amulya.

Janata Dal (S) councillor representing Gurappanapalya, Imran Pasha, one of the organisers of the protest under “Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isayi Federation”, claimed that they had not invited the “activist” and were not aware that she would be speaking from the stage. Mr. Pasha said that such statements were “a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between Hindus and Muslims”.

Meanwhile, the BJP State unit tweeted, “Truth is that protests against CAA are a joint venture between Pakistan and anti-National forces led by INC India.” In a press release, BJP State unit president Nalin Kumar Kateel termed this as an “anti-national act” and urged the police to take action.

I got Rs 12 lakh to help terrorists to carry out R-Day terror attack: DSP Davinder Singh

coastaldigest.com news network

January 14,2020

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.

There is 2 side for Terrorism, none have dare to attack or bombing unless there is hand from IB, Police and Intelligence (Also RSS support). Frequent bombings or terror attacks was stopped when Hemant Karkare emerged as true officer.
