Moodbidri, Dec 25: Karnataka Minister for Tourism C T Ravi on Wednesday, defending the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's decision to withdraw the compensation announced to two dead in police firing, said that they were named in the FIR filed and if compensation was given it would result in pulling down the morale of police force.
He was responding to a question by reporters in the wake of government’s move to withdraw the compensation that was announced to the families of Abdul Jaleel and Nousheen who died in police firing in Mangaluru on December 19.
'The violence was conspired. If we look at the CCTV footages that were released recently, we can easily make out that it was pre-planed. The violence and clashes came under control after the police took adequate measures otherwise things would turn worst' Mr Ravi told reporters in Moodbidri.
Replying to another question by a reporter the minister added that the visuals of CCTV footage confirmed those died in police firing were not innocent and were involved in the violence against police.
