Mangaluru, Oct 10: Mangaluru city police have reportedly detained a non-Indian resident in connection with the case of derogatory Facebook posts about Sri Durga Parameshwari of Kateel and other Hindu deities.

facebookpostAccording to sources, Shafi Bellare, a native of Sullia, is currently in custody of Mangaluru North Police, who are questioning him in connection with the case.

The derogatory comments against the Hindu goddess were posted on Facebook in October 2015 and were widely circulated. The Bantwal police registered a suo motu case a couple of months ago that was followed by a case registered by the Mangaluru North police.

The main accused of the Facebook fake profile 'Jabbar BC Road', hailing from Dakshina Kannada, is said to be operating from the Gulf. Shaffi Bellare, who was also in Gulf had reportedly responded to his post.

Sources said that a lookout notice had been issued for Shafi Bellare's arrest. As soon as he reached Mangaluru International Airport on Sunday from Bahrain, he was taken into custody and handed over to Mangaluru North Police.

Inspector Shantaram said that the suspect is still being questioned. DCP (Crime and Traffic) Dr Sanjeev M Patil, however, refused to confirm the development.

There are so many anti Muslim Facebook pages that not only makes mockery of Muslim Faith but also encourages violence against Muslims. Why aren't the police taking that as suo moto? I thought police protected interests of all people.

Tumakuru, Feb 5: Former Lokayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde has questioned the integrity of the B S Yediyurappa led BJP government as it has not taken an action to abolish the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to re-establish the Lokayukta in Karnataka.

Speaking after felicitating the retired scientist of NASA Gopal Iyengar at the Karnataka Public School at Kadaba in Gubbi taluk he reminded that the BJP had promised to establish the Lokayukta.

"No party will like to strengthen the Lokayukta and now BSY is also tightlipped and even put an end by appreciating that ACB has been doing a good job", he regretted.

In fact, the Lokayakuta had the power to prosecute even the top brass of officials and now the ACB cannot without the government's permission, he clarified.

He denied any remarks on the CAA and NRC but observed that the youths of the country have been misguided by the politicians as they lost their focus on education by involving in protest rallies.

"I suggest they to straight away take a political plunge instead of getting misused at the hands of the politicians with selfish motives", he said.
