“In one of the e-mails, Bilal had requested LeT's operational commander Lala Khan to financially help the family of Tariq Dar, who was arrested in the Delhi blast case. In another e-mail, Bilal confirmed receiving Rs 50,000 from Khan,” an official said.

wrong doers should be punished irrespective of their cast, community, religion....but innocents should be spared...most of the time we have seen police arresting Muslims randomly because of their muslim background, this is bad, that should not happen, must be stopped once and for all...

A muslim will NEVER do any sort of distress to others. Forget about terrorism. And BOPANNA, be grateful to Muslims atleast because they let you earn in Saudi and feed your family. Muslims are suppressed in India and that's why our brothers are still in jail. You know bopanna..every single person who was in TRUTH faced hardship from oppressive rulers..but in the end they won. So inn sha Allah..there will be a time when the oppressed Muslims will have victory.

Great work by anti terrorism cell. All national and international terrorist should be given capital punishment whatsoever..Commencement of Anti terrorism squad was a great move by the Maharashtra government and then later by other states. The first of its additional commissioner being Mr. Aftab Ahmed Khan.

Fake criminal charges imposed on him, he is innocent. Muslims always targeted.. all Muslims are innocent, patriots and true God believers who never harm anybody.. they always obey and respect their country and the law and order. we cannot change the opinions of the RSS mental people

Simply shows no Muslim can be trusted, their only love is for allah and 72 virgins. No love for the country they live in. Ungrateful wretched people.

Udupi, Apr 24: While several state governments and NGOs are actively working to provide essentials to the needy amid the COVID-19 lockdown, a fisherwoman in Karnataka's Udupi has proved that even a small gesture of help for others can make a huge difference in the society.
A fisherwoman, Sharadakka, distributed rice to 140 needy families in her neighbourhood during the ongoing lockdown. The contribution was made by spending all her life savings amounting to Rs 30,000. The amount was saved by her over a period of time in an effort to build a house for herself.
On Thursday Udupi Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesh visited her and ensured help to build her house.
"Spending her meagre earnings, Sharadakka generously filled many empty stomachs amid the nation-wide lockdown, which is a matter of pride," said the Deputy Commissioner.
