Udupi, August 6: Udupi District unit of Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samithi, on Saturday, staged a protest dharna infront of the office of the Superintendent of Police, here, demanding the arrest of advocate Premaraj Kini, accused of cheating a Dalit family from Belthangadi, by grabbing compensation money to the tune of 2.5 lakhs, by producing forged documents, both to the court and the bank.

Speaking on the occasion chief convener of DSS Udupi district unit Jayan Malpe alleged that though the Udupi Town Police were forced to register a case against Premaraj, they had been delaying the arrest of the advocate for the reasons unknown.

Noted thinker G Rajashekhar expressed concern over police inaction, in spite of the aggrieved Dalits providing evidence for the forgery and lodging a written complaint to the police. “Police shall atleast wake up now and arrest the police. At this stage we will call our police corrupt. But if they fail to arrest we will be forced to”, Rajashekhar warned.

Prof Phaniraj said that police should speed up action atleast for the reason that the aggrieved party is a Dalit down trodden family.

Dalit activist Sundari Puttur, social activists Sriramam Diwana, Dinkar Bengre and others participated in the protest.
