Mangaluru, Sept 26: Two persons — a man and a woman — have been arrested by the Mangaluru city police on charge of blackmailing, abducting and robbing a senior citizen.

The arrested have been identified as Rajesh Pavithran, 34, resident of Kuttar and district president of the Hindu Mahasabha, and Srilatha, 30, Mangaluru taluk president of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike.

Police said that the two along with their gang recorded a 76-year-old businessman’s sexual act with women and threatened to release the video to the media if he did not heed their demand.

Srilatha called the man near Mangala Stadium, Ladyhill, on September 23. Upon the man’s arrival, Srilatha and four unidentified people kidnapped him. The man was locked at the residence of Pavithran in Surathkal.

Police said that the five demanded Rs 5 lakh each to hide the video. As the man refused to budge, the gang assaulted him and fleeced his gold chain weighing 4.5 sovereigns, two gold rings, a watch and Rs 18,000. The man then filed a complaint at Barke police station.

Police recovered the man’s belongings and the memory card which supposedly contains the video.

The accused were booked under various sections of the IPC on Tuesday. They were produced before a court which remanded them in judicial custody. More people are yet to be detained, police said.

Mangaluru, May 13: Kannadigas in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have sought additional flights to return to Karnataka during a video conference with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa here on Tuesday.

Noting that most of the ex-pats in UAE were from the coastal region, they urged the state government to ensure that most of these flights land in the Mangalore International Airport.

Many Kannadigas in the UAE were left unemployed due to the lockdown. “Many of them do not have the means to return to Karnataka and the state government should aid them,” representatives of various Kannadiga ex-pat groups urged the CM.

Yediyurappa said that the government has made all arrangements to bring back the ex-pats, and assured to fulfil all their demands.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Working President of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, Eashwar Khandre on Friday said that his party has extended its support to the demand made by the former chief minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, that a House Committee should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence.

Emphasising the need for a judicial probe into the incident, Khandre said, "Congress has always said that the truth should prevail and that there should be a judicial inquiry and investigation by a sitting Supreme Court judge or a High Court judge into the incident."

"We support his (HD Kumaraswamy) statement that a House Committee should be set up to probe into the incident of Mangaluru violence. Two innocent people lost their lives during the anti-CAA protest, it is very unfortunate," he added.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent on December 19.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.
