Udupi, Jun 6: Condemning the arrest of the accused in connection with the alleged murder of an elderly Muslim cattle trader in the district last week, saffron outfits led by Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday staged a protest in front of the DC’s office at Manipal, here.

Addressing the protesters, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Sobha Karandlaje held H D Kumaraswamy-led coalition government responsible for the arrests and urged the police not to touch the saffron activists.

“If the Forensic Science Laboratory report confirms that Husainabba died of heart attack, then police cannot treat it as a murder case. Till they get the report, the police shouldn’t have arrested the ‘innocent’ gau rakshaks,” she said.

She went on to claim that the saffron activists never take law into their hands. “The cattle transporters themselves damaged the vehicle and put the blame on gau rakshaks,” she added.

Speaking on the occasion, K Raghupati Bhat, Udupi MLA, hit out at police for giving more importance to the death of a cattle transporter than the death of two cows.

“Two of the 13 cattle being transported by Husainabba and others were found dead. Many people were arrested for the death of Husainabba, but no one was arrested for the death of two cows,” he lamented.

He suggested that Husainabba death case should be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is under the control of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government.

The police have arrested 10 persons in connection with the attack on cattle transporters near Perdoor in Udupi district that resulted in the death of Husainabba, a resident of Jokatte in Mangaluru. Among the arrested seven VHP-Bajrang Dal chauvinists and three others are their associates in the police department including a sub inspector.

62-year-old Husainabba was reportedly found dead under mysterious circumstances near Perdoor on May 30. During investigation it came to light that he died in police jeep after attack by Bajrang Dal chauvinists.

Bengaluru, May 1: As Mumbai link surfacing in some COVID-19 cases in Mandya district in Karnataka, JDS leader and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Friday blamed the district administration for the situation, accusing it of not quarantining 7,000 labourers who 'returned' from the Maharashtra capital.

"The information we have is that there are about 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai of which 7,000 people reached the district. None of them was quarantined properly," Kumaraswamy told reporters in Bengaluru.

He claimed the district, a stronghold of JDS, was staring at a major spurt in cases due to the careless attitude of the district administration. "Government should initiate action against those who are responsible for the laxity," he said.

However, he did not specify when the 7,000 workers returned to Mandya. When asked about Kumaraswamy's claim, officials said they have to verify it. Of the eight cases reported from Mandya on Friday, three had a travel history to Mumbai, a major COVID-19 hotspot in the country, officials said.

A Health Department official said four of the fresh cases were contacts of a patient who tested positive on April 8 and admitted to a hospital. After weeks of coming in contact with him, the four were confirmed for COVID-19, an official said. The Three people with travel history to Mumbai had, in fact, brought the body of a man who died of a heart attack there on April 24, the official added.

Bengaluru, May 7: Karnataka has revised its standard operating procedure (SOP) for international passengers. The first group of passengers will arrive in the state on May 8.

The number of categories has been reduced to two from three. Category A includes passengers symptomatic on arrival while Category B passengers are those asymptomatic on arrival. These are passengers who are either healthy or those having co-morbidities.

As per the revised SOP, the passenger will be released on the seventh day, if tested negative, to strict home quarantine for another seven days with stamping.

This norm is in contradiction to the Ministry of Home Affairs’ SOP for international passengers. As per the MHA’s SOP, the passengers (asymptomatic) will be under institutional quarantine for 14 days. Testing negative after 14 days, they will be allowed to go home and will undertake self-monitoring of their health for 14 more days.

On the contradiction, Pandey said, "We don't take chances as we rely on tests instead of just quarantining. Other states may be depending on just 14-day institutional quarantine."

"GOI SOP doesn't talk about Covid tests on international passengers. We have put an additional safety layer of three Covid tests on returnees -- one on arrival, second from 5-7 days and last on 12th day. This will ensure definite identification of positive cases even if they are asymptomatic and their subsequent treatment. We should look at the spirit behind the order," he added.

On the 14-day additional reporting period for category B, he said, "It is implied as category B patients should report to us for 14 days after their first 14-day quarantine period is over."

Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar said that the State would follow the Centre’s norms.

Till Tuesday, Karnataka’s SOP had three categories. Under Category A (symptomatic), 14-day institutional quarantine at COVID-19 Health Care Centre was mandatory followed by 14-day reporting period. Under Category B (asymptomatic above 60 years with co-morbidities), seven-day institutional quarantine at hotel/hostel followed by seven-day home quarantine and 14-day reporting period had been recommended. The 14-day home quarantine and 14-day reporting period was mandatory for Category C (asymptomatic).
