Mangaluru, Oct 20: In connection with the case of alleged police atrocity on a Muslim youth, who happens to be an activist of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), a police head constable attached to Venur police station in Dakshina Kannada district has been suspended pending inquiry.

Superintendent of Police B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda said in a communique here that Taranath, head constable, has been kept under suspension pending departmental inquiry. He, however, did not elaborate the charges against the constable.

DYFI activist Riyaz Manthur (28) and his younger brother Irshad (18) were on their way on a motorcycle to the former’s in-laws place at Belthangady when the police at the check-post near Venur stopped them for document verification on October 2 night.

According to Riyaz, he had only driving licence with him, and he told the police he would produce vehicle ownership documents the next day. However, the police abused him and his brother saying that they were on their way to committing some theft and later called them by religion. The victim said that the policeman also used abusive words against their religion.

Police Inspector Nagesh Kadri, who was just transferred from Belthangady, happened to pass through the road and told the police to “kick them and put them behind bars,” Mr. Bajal said.

The police took the brothers in their vehicle, while continuing their assault on them throughout the way to the police station. The assault did not stop at the police station too, where the two were subjected to further torture.

P.G. Sandesh, Circle Inspector of Police, Belthangady, who was asked to inquire into the incident, in his report said that it was true that the victims did not produce the documents required. They also reportedly talked rough to the police. It was also true that they were assaulted by the police. However, their allegations that they were called by their religion were not proved, he said in the report.

Mangaluru, Feb 2: A local court on Saturday remanded Aditya Rao,the suspect in the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) bomb case, to two weeks judicial custody.

Rao was produced before the Sixth Judicial First Class Magistrate Court after the 10-day police custody expired.

Rao has been in police custody since January 22 after he surrendered before the police in Bengaluru on January 21 and was later brought here.

He had allegedly planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the airport on January 20 triggering panic and later made a hoax call to the airport terminal that a bomb had been planted in an IndiGo flight.

During the last ten days, police took the accused to several places in the city and Udupi where he had frequented in the recent past.

He was also taken to the room where he stayed while he was working at a hotel in the city.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
