Mangalore, July 3: People belonging to Scheduled Castes who migrate to another state cannot claim privilege under SC Status in the migrated state, clarified Sarvotham Pai, Superintendent of Police, Civil Rights Enforcement Cell.

He was addressing monthly SC/ST grievance meeting held by the district police at SP office here on Sunday.

Mr Pai said many Tamilians have settled in Sullia taluk of the Dakshina Kannada and enjoying the benefits of various schemes based on SC status their community enjoyed in Tamil Nadu. Some of these people are also serving in police department for more than 18 years.

He said Civil Rights Enforcement Cell has served notifications to Deputy Directors of Public Instruction in four districts of Karnataka to take stringent action against those schools which take fees from SC/ST students. The Cell has also written to Director of Medical Education and Principal of Medical Education regarding Kasturba Medical College which charged Rs 75,000 fees for a Dalit student.

Devappa Hydangoor of Sullia urged the police officers to arrest Markanja Gram Panchayat President, Secretary and a Staff who allegedly involved in the financial irregularities of Rs. 42 lakh between 2005 and 2010. Since 75% of beneficiaries are Dalits, Dalit organisations will take out a massive protest, he said and urged the police authorities to arrest the accused before August 15.

Mangaluru, Jan 10: Two members of a notorious honey-trap gang that used to lure rich men using women and then extort money from them by staging fake police raid have been arrested by the Dakshina Kannada district police.

Lohith, a resident of Kushalnagara, and Sharif from Vittal, were arrested in connection with a honey-trap case registered in Uppinangady police station. Jamal, Jeevan and Naushad, who were also involved in the case, are absconding.

Police said they received information that a few people under the guise of being Kerala police, were planning to raid a resort near Uppinangady where two couples were staying.

They were informed that they would threaten and try to extort money from them. The police were tipped off about the same by their counterparts in Kerala.

Police said the accused are experts in setting honeytraps, and were involved in similar crimes since a long time. Their modus operandi was to use two women from Mangaluru to lure their intended targets.

Once they trap their target, the woman and victim are sent to resorts. They then raid the resort posing as police officials, and click pictures in compromising positions of the victim with the woman.

They threaten to release the pictures on social media or TV channels, if they fail to pay up.

Police said the accused demanded Rs 10 lakh from each victim, but they denied to pay up. Irked by this, the accused took away the victims’ belongings such as phone, money and car.

The victims who believed that the accused were police personnel, asked them to take them to the police station. Instead of taking them to the police, the accused took them to a secluded place, where they claimed that they were putting the victims under house arrest. Police have seized an SUV from the accused.
