people don't take it as communal
Inna lillahi wa inna Ilahi rajvoon RIP, Every where suffering middle class or poor people example in Ullal there is no officer born to raid fish mill because it is running by politics and rich people, I totally agree that sand business is illegal but it won't harm any one but in Ullal it harm current generation and coming generation so divert your investigation right place.
Why no police raided mining mafia ? And fixing in department ?
Not a loss for nation ....sand jihadis must be taught a lesson . .
..instead of praising our police ...they are blaming our policee.....love u dk police ....
what he wanted he finally got, simply blaming police is not a good idea.
he deserves.
whatever this community people do, they will unite and protest whether crime or marriage.

There is no difference between Hindutva terrors and DK Police now a days.
