Bajrang Dal activist Dhanya Kumar banished from 3 taluks of DK

March 10, 2016

Mangaluru, Mar 10: A notorious Bajrang Dal activist, who has allegedly been involved in several cases of immoral rowdyism' including attack on couples from different communities, has been prohibited from entering Puttur, Sullia and Belthangady taluks in Dakshina Kannada.

Bajrang
The order to extern Dhanya Kumar (32), who is known for his anti-social activities in the region, was issued by Assistant Commissioner of Puttur Sub-Division K.V. Rajendra based on a requisition made by the Puttur Town Police.

Kumar was among the group of Bajrang Dal activists who trespassed into a theatre and forced the owner to stop screening of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dilwale in Puttur in December last year.

Superintendent of Police Sharanappa SD said that Kumar, a native of Kadaba, had been accused of disturbing peace and tranquillity in the region. He was also involved in cases of rioting.

The police had filed an application before the Assistant Commissioner seeking externment of Kumar from Puttur Revenue Sub-Division under Section 63 of the Karnataka Police Act. They had also sought externment of Peter, a person involved in theft cases, who died on February 15 after he was assaulted by people when he was caught red-handed.

Mr. Rajendra allowed the application of the police and passed the order of his externment on March 2. Following the order, Kumar has been asked to voluntarily move out of the three taluks. He has reportedly filed an appeal questioning the externment order.

Cheddi leaders mind washed many BD, VHP and their sister organisation.
The people come to know the reality of their deception.
I think every town and village should stand with TRUTH and Kick the Trouble monger outside.

I dont think this is the right decision to send him to other district... he will start his notorious activities in other districts & disturb peace & harmony... Our police department should think about this issue & send him to that area where he will not find water & food to eat... So that he will realize the value of life....
Best decision is to hang him, so that other notorious dogs will learn something before doing any harm to public...

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
