Mangaluru, Oct 20: In connection with the case of alleged police atrocity on a Muslim youth, who happens to be an activist of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), a police head constable attached to Venur police station in Dakshina Kannada district has been suspended pending inquiry.

Superintendent of Police B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda said in a communique here that Taranath, head constable, has been kept under suspension pending departmental inquiry. He, however, did not elaborate the charges against the constable.

DYFI activist Riyaz Manthur (28) and his younger brother Irshad (18) were on their way on a motorcycle to the former’s in-laws place at Belthangady when the police at the check-post near Venur stopped them for document verification on October 2 night.

According to Riyaz, he had only driving licence with him, and he told the police he would produce vehicle ownership documents the next day. However, the police abused him and his brother saying that they were on their way to committing some theft and later called them by religion. The victim said that the policeman also used abusive words against their religion.

Police Inspector Nagesh Kadri, who was just transferred from Belthangady, happened to pass through the road and told the police to “kick them and put them behind bars,” Mr. Bajal said.

The police took the brothers in their vehicle, while continuing their assault on them throughout the way to the police station. The assault did not stop at the police station too, where the two were subjected to further torture.

P.G. Sandesh, Circle Inspector of Police, Belthangady, who was asked to inquire into the incident, in his report said that it was true that the victims did not produce the documents required. They also reportedly talked rough to the police. It was also true that they were assaulted by the police. However, their allegations that they were called by their religion were not proved, he said in the report.

Shivamogga, Aug 9: Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi on Saturday virtually inaugurated Malgudi Museum at Arasalu in Karantaka's Shivamogga.

The old station building at Arasalu has been converted into museum.
BJP MP from Shivamogga BY Raghavendra said that the old station building at Arasalu has been renovated keeping with 'Malgudi' theme in mind.

"It is a tribute to the makers of the popular television serial 'Malgudi Days' as the station features predominantly in the episodes which broadcast on Doordarshan in the 1980s," he said.

The museum has been designed by a famous artist John Devraj, who was the part of the serial Malgudi Days. The Mysore Divisional Railway funded the museum.

"The approach road and station area wear a new transformed look. The innovative idea of having a tea-shop in a narrow gauge coach at Arasalu station adds charm to the green surroundings," the MP said.

"Popular and internationally acclaimed serial Malgudi Days was shot here in Arasalu. The SWR Mysore division manager Aparna Garg helped to transform the station to fictional village Malgudi," he added.

The museum is about 30 km from Shivamogga city. It has steam engines and bogies besides collections of photographs hanging on the wall taken during the time of shooting for Malgudi Days.

Mangaluru: The police team investigating the case of bomb planting at the international airport here on January 20, took suspect Aditya Rao to several places in the city where he had frequented in the past few months, police said on Wednesday.

Police had earlier recovered a box from his bank locker at Udupi that contained a white powder which he claimed was cyanide. The substance has been sent to the Forensic Science laboratory for confirmation.

On further interrogation, Rao told police that he had a locker in a bank in Mangaluru also, where he was taken. Only some papers were seen in the locker, police said. He was also taken to the room where he stayed while he was working at a hotel in Balmatta here and to a hardware workshop from where he had purchased some spare parts, they said.

A 'live' explosive device was found in an unattended bag near a ticket counter of the departure gate of the airport here on January 20, triggering a scare before it was defused at a nearby open ground.

Police had released a picture of a man captured on CCTV camera as the suspect who placed the bomb and Rao later surrendered. Meanwhile, sources said the airport authorities got an anonymous call on Monday evening that a bomb had been planted in the airport. After thorough search, it was found to be a hoax. City police commissioner P S Harsha has warned of stringent action against those who make such calls.
