Mangaluru, Sept 11: Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel’s recent attempt to threaten a cop inside a police station in the coastal city during BJP’s ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally on September 8 has sparked an online campaign against him. 

Suhail Kandak, chairman of MakeA- change Foundation started an online petition on change.org urging the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against Mr Kateel. In last two days the petition has secured around 800 signatures.

The incident took place at the Mangaluru East Police Station wherein many saffron activists were briefly detained for violating ban orders and attempting to stage illegal motorbike rally as part of a political campaign.

A video clip of Mr Kateel shouting at inspector Maruti Nayak and threatening to give a call for Dakshina Kannada Bandh if the former fails to free all the detained saffron activists immediately has gone viral on social media. 

According to Mr Kandak, who is also the general secretary of Karnataka State Youth Congress, Mr Kateel is unfit to continue as an MP as he has repeatedly exhibited such violent behavior. 

Mr Kandak recalled that the BJP leader had once threatened to set his own constituency on fire. “We don’t want our youth to be inspired by such leaders,” he said.

Bengaluru, May 30: A city corporator in Bengaluru was sent into quarantine on Saturday after he tested positive for the coronavirus infection, officials said.

"Yes, I have tested positive," Padarayanapura municipal ward corporator Imran Pasha told some news channels.

The JDS corporator said he would quarantine himself as per the regulations.

The entire area where Pasha lives was cordoned off.

Health workers reached there in an ambulance and gave him a personal protection gear to wear and he was taken to a designated hospital.

Reacting to the development, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka claimed Pasha hardly paid heed to the COVID-19 regulations.

"He rushes to all those places wherever there are positive cases...," Ashoka told reporters.

Padarayanapura was declared as a containment zone earlier with a few cases coming to the fore.

It was in this area where some policemen and health workers were attacked when they went to quarantine a few primary and secondary contacts of a COVID-19 patient about a month ago.

Following the incident, about 125 people were arrested, and later quarantined after a few of them tested positive.
