Udupi: Dalits stage protest against SP Annamalai, SI Rafeeq

March 10, 2016

Udupi, Mar 10: A group of activists of Dalit Hitarakshana Samiti staged a protest in front of the Clock Tower here demanding suspension of the sub-inspector attached to Hiriyadka police station for assaulting two youths. The protesters also raised slogans against Superintendent of Police K. Annamalai.

annasp Addressing the protesters, Dejappa Karkera, convener of the samiti, said that on February 20, when the zilla panchayat elections were going on, the sub-inspector attached to Hiriyadka police station, M. Rafeeq, resorted to a lathi-charge to disperse a mob near Munduje Government Higher Primary School.

Kiran, belonging to the Koraga community, a Scheduled Tribe, was working in the house of Sadananda Shetty. He was just watching the events from within Mr. Shetty's compound. But Mr. Rafik dragged him out and thrashed him. As a result of the thrashing, Kiran's hand was fractured and he was admitted to the district government hospital. Though Mr. Karkera complained to SP Annamalai about Mr. Rafeeq's behaviour, Mr. Annamalai defended Mr. Rafik.

On February 22, Mr. Rafeeq stopped K. Sudarshan, another youth belonging to the Scheduled Castes, who was riding his motorcycle near Guddeangady and assaulted him for not wearing his helmet. Here too, Mr. Sudarshan could have been warned. Later, Mr. Sudarshan too was admitted to the government hospital for treatment.

The samiti had also not been given permission to stage a protest outside the SP office on Wednesday. “The government should not only suspend both Mr. Rafeeq and Mr. Annamalai, but also provide adequate compensation to both Mr. Kiran and Mr. Sudarshan.

“If no action is taken in 10 days, we will intensify our agitation,” Mr. Karkera said.

Meanwhile, in a press release issued here, Mr. Annamalai denied the charges made by Mr. Karkera. Mr. Rafik had to disperse the crowd as they were within 100 metres of the polling station. He had visited Mr. Kiran in the hospital. A case had been registered against Mr. Rafik and was being enquired by Kundapur Circle Police Inspector.

Mr. Sudarshan was driving recklessly on his motorcycle and speaking on a mobile telephone. The issue related to Mr. Sudarshan was being enquired by Udupi Circle Police Inspector.

There was a case against Mr. Karkera at Hiriyadka police station being probed by Mr. Rafeeq. Mr. Karkera was trying to mislead the people. He was protesting against Mr. Annamalai because he had not been given permission to stage dharna in front of the SP office, the release added.

Good that Inspector stopped him while recklessly bike riding and using mobile phone , otherwise he would have dead and killed someone else. First he should thank Inspector.
If he is Dalit means he can do whatever he want??

Annamalai is a such person who does not talk anything unless he is hundred percent sure.

Ibraheem Hussain Udupi, WHY NO COMMENTS. I THINK YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HOROSCOPE OF THESE PEOPLE. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD HISTORIAN.

Another covid-19 patient hangs to death in hospital

News Network

July 17,2020

Bengaluru, July 17: A 60-year-old woman who tested positive for Covid-19 allegedly ended her life in the Covid ward at KC General Hospital in the early hours of Friday.

The woman, the fourth Covid positive patient to end her life since April, was a resident of Mariyappanapalya near Jnanabharathi in West Bengaluru. She was found hanging from a window grille in the passage of the Covid ward around 5 am. She had used her sari to hang herself.

The police said that the woman was admitted to the hospital on July 1. She was responding well to the treatment and was almost cured. Her son was infected first and admitted to the same hospital. As she later tested positive and got admitted, her son was discharged on July 11. The police suspect that the woman may have resorted to the extreme step due to depression.

An investigating officer quoted doctors telling the police that they were about to inform the woman about her discharge date on Friday. Doctors were waiting for the report on her latest test before discharging her.

The woman’s body will be subjected to an autopsy as per the Covid standard procedure. The Malleswaram police have taken up a case of unnatural death. Investigations are on.

On July 11, a 70-year-old man ended his life in the toilet of the Covid ward in Victoria Hospital, while a suicide was reported in the same ward on June 26. A 60-year-old woman also hanged herself in the toilet. Her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were also admitted to hospital for Covid-19.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic.

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow.

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed.

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time.

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks.

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.

Supreme Court grants bail to 17 Gujarat mass massacre CONVICTS, asks admin to find them work

News Network

January 28,2020

New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court of India today granted bail to 17 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 Gujarat massacre case, pending their appeal before the Supreme Court.

The convicts also have to participate in social and spiritual services, said the court, announcing the riders for bail.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices BR Gavai and Surya Kant directed for the convicts to be segregated into two groups to be sent to Indore and Jabalpur.

District legal authorities in Indore and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh have been asked to ensure that the convicts do the spiritual and social work the court has asked for.

The Supreme Court has also asked the administration to find them work for livelihood. The state legal services authority has been asked to file a compliance report as also report on their conduct.

The case concerns the mass killing of 33 innocent Muslims - mostly women and children - who were burnt alive at Sardarpura village in March 2002.

This was part of the mass massacre that swept through Gujarat in the aftermath of the death of train passengers on Sabarmati Express in Godhra on Feb 27, 2002. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and raped in the three-day violence. The victims include hundreds of children including newborns.

In 2016, the Gujarat High Court had upheld the conviction of 17 accused in the Sardarpura massacre case.

Earlier, a Special SIT court had convicted a total of 31 persons in the case, after three years of trial against 73 persons from Sardarpura and nearby villages.
