Chikmagalur, March 14: Suspected Bajarang Dal activists on Monday stormed into two beef stalls located at Nehru Road in the city and brutally assaulted the staff and customers before setting them on fire.

Local sources said that at around 4:00 pm a group of miscreants, all of them believed to be Bajarang Dal activists, attacked the stalls.

A television footage showed miscreants punching a helpless man and dragging him out of the stall. He was then brought to the road and again rolled into a road-side drainage. He was brutally assaulted all the way and the attackers shouted abusive and provocative words at him.

When a team of police reached the spot and began to douse the flame, the clash had reached to its final stage and the suspected Bajrang Dal activists had knocked down at least four people to ground.

Justifying the attack, Raghu, the local leader of Bajarang Dal, said that his group was compelled to resort to violence after the owners of the 'illegal' beef stalls repeatedly neglected their warning.

Superintendent of Police Vikas Kumar also visited the spot. Later speaking to media persons, he said six people have been taken into custody after the clash. However, he did not reveal the identities of the arrested.

He said fire was brought under control by the police within a few minutes.

Security has been strengthened in the city and all the necessary precautionary measures have been taken to prevent any possible backlash, said SP.

Haveri, Jan 16: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Wednesday hinted at inducting 16 MLAs into the Cabinet which was due for expansion despite the fact that it was a difficult task.

Participating in a function of Choudayya Community here, he further said one should understand the difficulty faced to undertake cabinet expansion in the prevailing situation and whoever gives suggestion should understand the circumstances otherwise the statements would lead to confusion among the community and people of the state.

He stated that 'as many as 17 MLAs resigned to make me Chief Minister and now their community people want their leader to become Minister, it is very difficult to satisfy all of them'.

Bengaluru, Jan 18: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the "flag-bearer" of the Indian culture and tradition.

In his speech at an event organised by Vedanta Bharati here, Shah said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is touring across the globe as the flag bearer of the Indian culture and tradition." To buttress his point, the BJP National President said Modi took a holy dip in Ganga and attended Ganga Arati in Varanasi before taking oath as the Prime Minister.

It was for the first time that Modi sent red sander to Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal to perform special prayers on behalf of the government of India.

Shah also slammed the previous governments for their wrong interpretation of secularism, preventing them from honouring the best things of the country. "But after a long interval we have a Prime Minister who sends across the message that we have a lot to give to the world," Shah said.
