Bellary, May 19: Samaj Parivartana Samudaya founder-president S R Hiremath has demanded action against the senior officer including Mangalore City Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh for their alleged role in illegal mining carried out by Reddy brothers in Bellary.

Speaking to media persons in Bellary on Saturday Mr Hiremath said that Seemant Kumar Singh during his tenure as the Superintendent of Police of Bellary, had extended all kinds of support to Reddy brother in their illegal activities.

He also recalled that Mr Singh as the Bellary SP had failed to serve numerous arrest-warrants on then tourism minister G Janardhana Reddy.

Action against officials

Mr. Hiremath said that in the wake of the Supreme Court order on May 11, 2012 directing the CBI to investigate the case, the organisations would urge the agency for action against all the officials belonging to various departments allegedly involved in illegal de-notification of land and illegal mining.

Fight continues

Pledging to continue his fight against illegal mining and illegal de-notification of land, Mr Hiremath clarified that the fight would not be focussed on any particular party or individual.

“In the 1,400-page writ petition filed before the Supreme Court, we have brought to the notice of the court the illegal mining in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh from 2000 to 2010. In the subsequent 1,000-page Interlocutory Application (IA) we have given further inputs and documents on the rampant illegal mining at various stages,” he said.

Mr. Hiremath said that senior officer U.V. Singh had, in his report, clearly mentioned the extent of illegal mining during the tenures of S.M. Krishna, N. Dharam Singh, H.D. Kumaraswamy and Mr. Yeddyurappa. “While the Supreme Court has ordered a CBI inquiry against Mr. Yeddyurappa, it is likely to take up such cases that happened during the tenures of the former Chief Ministers on August 3. Our fight will go on against all those who are involved in illegal de-notification and illegal mining,” he said.

To another query, he alleged that the former Minister D.K. Shivakumar too was involved in cases of illegal mining when S.M. Krishna was the Chief Minister. “There are 20 mining companies involved in illegal mining allegedly run by family members of the Reddy brothers and the wife of the former Minister B. Sriramulu,” he alleged. “We will not spare anyone however influential that individual or company might be,” he said.

He said that various people, including government employees and officials, had provided information to the organisation that proved crucial in the fight against illegal mining and illegal de-notification of land.

“We have documents and they will be submitted in court in the fight against illegal mining and illegal de-notification of land. We will submit documents in two more cases of illegal de-notification of land involving Mr. Yeddyurappa,” he said.

Ahmedabad/New Delhi, Jan 22: Interpol has issued a Blue Corner Notice seeking information about controversial self-styled godman Nithyananda, who fled the country amid allegations of wrongful confinement of children, officials said on Wednesday.

A Blue Corner Notice is issued by the international police cooperation body to collect additional information from its member countries about a person's identity, location or activities in relation to a crime.

The Gujarat Police had sent a request to the CBI, the nodal body for Interpol matters in India, seeking a Blue Corner Notice against Nithyananda, the officials said.

"Interpol issued the Blue Corner Notice against the controversial godman this month," Deputy Superintendent of Police, Ahmedabad (rural), K T Kamariya, told PTI.

The police said they are now working to get Interpol to issue a Red Corner Notice, a global arrest warrant, against Nithyananda.

The Gujarat Police had registered an FIR against Nithyananda after two girls went missing from his ashram in Ahmedabad.

He was charged with kidnapping and wrongful confinement of children to make them collect donations from followers to run his ashram.

Nithyananda was earlier declared wanted by the Gujarat Police.

While police continue to look for him, reports emerged in December last year that he has created a Hindu nation, Kailaasa, with its own flag and political setup, on an island near Ecuador.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
