SDPI blames Congress for delay in Kalladka Bhat's arrest

January 16, 2014

Mangalore, Jan 16: Strongly criticizing the state government for the delay in arresting RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for his provocative speech at Gurupura, members of Dakshina Kannada unit of Social Democratic Party of India's (SDPI) said that it was unfortunate Congress workers carried out protest when their own government was in power.

Addressing the media persons on Wednesday, SDPI District unit president Abubakar Kulai said there was definite proof that speeches of RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and speaker Chakravarti Sulibele at a function in Gurupura, near Mangalore, on January 5 were derogatory in nature. Mr. Bhat and Mr. Sulibele have hurt religious sentiments of the minority community.

“Mohammed Usman, our activist, who filed a complaint, has given recording of the speeches in the function to the police. Moreover, the police have also recorded the speeches.” Yet, no action had been taken to arrest the two persons, he said.

Mr. Kulai said there was no truth in the complaint accusing Mr. Usman of filing a false case.

Senior Congress leader B. Janardhan Poojary has unnecessarily dragged the name of the SDPI for the protest during his speech on January 12 when it had actually been done by the Congress activists, Mr. Kulai said.

He said as elections were nearing there was an increase in the activities of groups disturbing peace in DK.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
