Bangalore, Jul 21: A 30-year-old skating instructor was arrested on Sunday on the charge of raping a six-year-old girl student at Vibgyor High, Marathahalli.

The suspect, Mustafa alias Munna, is a native of Darbhanga in Bihar and the father of a five-year-old girl. He has been working in Vibgyor High since 2011.

The police seized a laptop and a mobile phone from him. The laptop contained “incriminating pornographic videos of schoolgirls being raped, which he had downloaded from the Internet,” Bangalore Police Commissioner Raghavendra H Auradkar told the media at a hurriedly convened press conference at HAL police station.

The police said Mustafa is a pervert who derives pleasure from watching videos of schoolgirls being raped.

He had been showing such video clips and nude pictures to girl students at Vibgyor High as well as at another school in Whitefield where he was employed earlier.

Mustafa was also in the habit of clicking nude pictures of schoolgirls.

Auradkar did not give details of the incident that took place on July 2.

However, he said: “There are complaints that he was involved in several such cases in another school as well. The police believe they could be genuine as they are oral complaints received from highly reliable sources.”

To a query, Auradkar said: “I don't think the school management verified his antecedents before appointing him.”

Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order-East) K V?Sharathchandra said it was basic policing that helped arrest Mustafa. The police zeroed in on him based on some clues.

The suspicion strengthened after the police found pornographic content on his laptop. On interrogation, he admitted to raping the minor.

Mustafa did not destroy the evidence and presumed his act would go unnoticed. It is not known if he wanted to experiment the “acts in the video clips that he downloaded from the Internet”, Sharathchandra said.

The police said they believe another school staff is also involved in the incident and he would be arrested soon. Mustafa has been booked under IPC Section 376 (rape) and Sections 4 and 6 of POCSO Act, 2012. He was arrested from his house on Ramakrishna Road in Varthur.

Mustafa's father Murthuja is a car driver and mother, a maid servant. They moved to Bangalore about 20 years ago to eke out a living.

Mustafa completed schooling in Bangalore and did his BPEd from a private college in Raichur.

Police said they will produce him before the court and seek his custody as they need to continue the investigation. He will also be subjected to a medical examination.

Auradkar said Mustafa was drawing a salary of Rs 18,000 per month. But he owned three expensive laptops and a mobile phone.

The police will also probe how he managed to buy such expensive gadgets.

Bengaluru, Feb 12: Karnataka Sanghatanegala Okkoota, a congregation of various pro-Kannada organisations, has called for a state-wide bandh in Karnataka on Thursday (13 February 2020) demanding reservation in jobs for Kannadigas in both government and private sectors.

The Karnataka bandh, which will begin from 6 am to 6 pm, is likely to impact life in Bengaluru as well as in other parts of the state. Interestingly, Ola and Uber drivers have also extended support to the bandh. 

In Bengaluru, some other drivers’ associations, including Jai Bharatha Vehicle Owners and Drivers Association and Adarsha Auto and Taxi Union have also supported the bandh.

It is not yet clear as to whether the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) staff and workers associations will back Thursday’s bandh.

Several other organisations like the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), and Lorry Owners Association have supported the February 13 bandh.

In view of the bandh call, schools, colleges and hospitals across Karnataka are likely to remain closed on Thursday.

The Sarojini Mahishi report, which in 1984 suggested that Kannadigas should be given some reservation in jobs in private companies, public sector undertakings and multinational companies, is yet to be implemented.

It is to be noted that Sarojini Mahishi, a four-time MP and Janatha party leader, was appointed by the Ramakrishna Hegde government to head the panel in 1983. The committee submitted an interim report in June 1984. However, a final report was tabled in December 1986 with 58 recommendations, of which the Karnataka government had accepted 45.

Mumbai, Feb 3: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has accused the BJP-led central government of siding with Karnataka in the Supreme Court over the Belgaum border dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra.

"I am committed toward a unified Maharashtra... Whatever is happening in Belgaum is shocking. I will meet the committee looking after this matter. The central government is a guardian of all states and is expected to be unbiased towards all states, but it is shocking that Centre is taking sides with Karnataka in Supreme Court for last the five years. This is really shocking," Thackeray said in an interview with Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana.

On December 7 last year, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had chaired a high-level meeting over the border dispute between the two states.

It was decided in the meeting that attempts will be made to get fast track hearing on the border issue in the Supreme Court.

Earlier on January 19, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut had said that Belgaum border dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra is a long-pending dispute but can be resolved if Union Home Minister wants.

"If Home Ministry can resolve Kashmir issue and abrogate Article 370 then I think this border issue can be resolved too if Amit Shah wants. The matter comes under the Home Ministry. It is a long-pending issue. He should pay attention to this too," he said while speaking to ANI in Belagavi.
