Mangaluru, May 9: City based activist and rationalist Narendra Nayak on Monday filed a complaint with the Urwa Police about a threat to his life.

nayak In his complaint, Mr. Nayak, who has been spearheading a movement seeking the arrest of those involved in the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, said that he was threatened by Shashank Shenoy during a chat session on Facebook on Monday afternoon.

The person, who is said to be a follower of Kashi Mutt, asked Mr. Nayak not to speak against Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha and the Venkataramana Temple.

Questioning Mr. Nayak for “putting [his] dirty hands into a tiger's mouth”, Shashank Shenoy is said to have told Mr. Nayak to treat it as a threat.

Mr. Nayak has, in his complaint, also made a mention of the derogatory comments by Goud Saraswat community members on his Facebook account for sharing a report of a local newspaper related to the investigation of Vinayak Baliga's murder.

The community members are said to have threatened Mr. Nayak saying that he would be thrown out of the Goud Saraswat community, he said. The Urwa Police have registered his complaint.

GSBs hurt

Members of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community on Monday asked Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar to take action against false reports in a section of media of the arrest of a close aide of Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha in connection with the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

The members, led by S. Narayan, secretary of the Bengaluru Kashi Mutt Committee, said that they were hurt over the false reports maligning the seer.

It was wrong on the part of the media to report that Vishwanath Bhat, an aide of the seer, had been arrested. Such reports had hurt the community members, they said.

Ruling out any connection of the seer with the murder, Pandit Narasimhacharya, Tantri of Mangaluru's Venkataramana Temple, told reporters that they have sought action against all those behind the false reports maligning the mutt and the seer.

one day snake must come out from rat hole...that day we will wait

Dear DC Dr. Harsha, we want to know if you will take strict action on these anti nationals / rowdis / day robbers / terrorists who ransacked auto + beaten the auto driwer and stolen Rs. 10,000 from him though he was legally transporting the meat. They same terrorists are involved in transporting live animals to beef export houses in Gujrat owned by Brahmins / Jains. Will you be loyal to your duty and promise. We will see how you will handle the issue failing which you will lose our respect and we will consider you as a dramabaz and phenku. You should follow the law and treat everyone equally. There should not be any pity on goondas/ terrorists belonging to sangh parivar. The terrorists who thrashed the auto driver and damaged the auto and burnt the meat by pouring kerosene are not human beings and should be treated as anti nationals + terrorists. We hope you will discharge your duty as per the oath taken by you while accepting your post.
