Let Pejawar seer, Acharya roll on leftover food of Dalits'

December 7, 2011

Mysore, December 7: MP Adagur H Vishwanath on Tuesday came down heavily on Karnataka government for not banning the casteist ritual of 'Made-Made-Snana' at government-run Kukke Subrahmanya Temple in Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

“The government is a fascist government,” he said.

He also criticised chief pontiff of Pejawat mutt Vishwesha Thirtha Swamji and Muzrai Minister V S Acharya for their blatant support to the ritual.

“Let Vishwesha Thirtha and V?S?Acharya also roll over the plantain leaves having leftovers of meal served to those who offered 'made-made-snana (Dalits) at Kukke recently”, Mr he said.

“Stop pushing people into believing superstitions”, he said.

He bemoaned that even a few mutts are encouraging the practise to continue.

Mentioning the bundh called by those supporting the 'Made made snana', Vishwanath termed the development as uncivilised.

Bellary by-poll

Taking a dig at former chief minister H?D?Kumaraswamy, Vishwanath said, “JD(S) is no longer a state party, it is only present in the zilla panchayat level. If Sriramulu forms a new party then JD(S) should merge with it.” “Kumarswamy knew that if JD(S) competed (in the bypoll) then it would lose its deposit. So he went to Bellary took 'Kanike' and came back,” he said.

Mangaluru: In a shocking case of fraud, six individuals posing as officials from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) swindled a beedi businessman of Rs 25 to 30 lakh in cash and five mobile phones at Kolnad in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada on Friday night.

The incident came to light after Mohammed Iqbal, 27, lodged a complaint with the police, stating that his father, a beedi trader, was targeted by the imposters.

According to the complaint, the six accused arrived at the businessman’s residence around 8:10 pm in a car with Tamil Nadu registration plates. Claiming to be ED officials, they announced that they had orders to search the house and began confiscating mobile phones from the family members.

The fraudsters reportedly discovered Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh in cash, which the businessman had kept aside for business purposes. They claimed that keeping such a large amount was illegal and threatened to arrest him unless he complied. By 10:30 pm, the group left the house, instructing the businessman to submit documents at the ED office in Bengaluru to reclaim the money.

Later, upon discussing the incident with his family, Iqbal realized that the individuals were not ED officials but fraudsters who had impersonated authorities to rob them.

A case has been registered at Vittal Police Station under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. An investigation is underway, and the police have promised swift action to apprehend the culprits.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Yathish N, along with senior officers, visited the crime scene and assured the family that the perpetrators would be brought to justice at the earliest.
