Somashekar panel report on church attacks frightening: Justice Sachar

February 12, 2011

Mangalore, February 12: Justice Rajender Sachar has termed the Somashekara Commission of Inquiry's report on chucch attacks as "scary".

Speaking after holding consultation swith some human rights organisations during his visit to the city, Justice Sachar expressed surprise over the panel's inability to identify the people behind the attack on churches.

"Somashekara panel has acknowledged the attacks on churches. Ironically, the panel has failed to pin down the culprits," Sachar, who was the head of the Union government's high-powered committee that looked into the plight of Muslims, remarked.

"The aggrieved parties can now go to High Court and file complaints against the attacks. Only awareness among the people can help ensure delivery of justice." Justice Sachar opined.

When asked if the church attack incidents can be entrusted to the CBI for investigation, Sachar said, the stage government's permission was required to launch such an inquiry.

"Order by a court or Union government's decision are key factors in deciding whether a case can be entrusted to the CBI or not?," he said.

PUCL state president PB D'sa had convened the consultation meeting.

Udupi, Nov 11: A traveller reportedly lost ₹4.1 lakh after attempting to book a cab online in Udupi.

At around 1:30 PM on November 7, the man from West Bengal searched for car rentals on Google and selected a website named "Shakti Car Rentals." Shortly after, he was contacted by someone claiming to be "Rohit Sharma," who directed him to pay a registration fee of ₹150 on the site.

After unsuccessful payment attempts via both his Canara Bank debit card and SBI credit card (without receiving an OTP), "Rohit Sharma" instructed him to pay the driver directly. But at 1:47 PM, he received messages showing deductions of ₹3.3 lakh from his SBI credit card and ₹80,056 from his Canara Bank debit card, totaling ₹4.1 lakh.

The complainant alleges fraud through a deceptive link disguised as a booking token fee. A case has been registered at Udupi Town Police Station.

Mangaluru: Six youths including teenagers have been arrested by the Bantwal Rural Police in connection with a brutal assault on 21-year-old Aboobakar (name changed to hide identity), an incident that was widely shared on social media after footage revealed the victim tied to a pole and violently beaten.

According to police reports, the assault took place on November 7 in Kanchinadkapadavu.

The sequence of events began when Aboobakar was reportedly called to a residence in Kanchinadkapadavu by a female relative. Upon his arrival, he was confronted by the accused, who questioned his presence, tied him to a pole with ropes, and attacked him while he was shirtless.

Aboobakar managed to file a police complaint the following day, detailing the assault. As his injuries worsened, he was admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru.

While in the hospital, Aboobakar alleged that his attackers intended to kill him during the assault. This statement led to additional charges of attempted murder being filed.

Police officials stated that the suspects were subsequently apprehended, charged with group assault and attempted murder, and placed in judicial custody. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited.
