Rs 10 lakh bond from outfits to check communal clashes in Dakshina Kannada

September 5, 2016

Mangaluru, Sep 5: In an effort to prevent fringe outfits from organising events that could lead to communal flare-ups, the Dakshina Kannada police have suggested that a bond of Rs. 10 lakh be taken from event organisers belonging to groups that are considered “sensitive.”

While issuing permission for any public meeting or rally, the police have recommended to the jurisdictional tahsildar to take such a bond from the organisers, under Section 108 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

After hearing representatives of the organisation, the tahsildar makes the organiser give an undertaking of good behaviour as well. “If there is any trouble following their programme, organisers will be held accountable. They have to either pay the amount or undergo imprisonment,” said Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase, who mooted this idea.

With this the police hope to curb such events in the district, which is known to be communally sensitive, and has in a past seen many public functions and rallies that have led to group clashes

Mr. Borase said that in the past too organisations did give an undertaking of good behaviour while getting permission. “In case of trouble, they would get out of it by expressing regret and paying the nominal sum (of Rs. 500).” Now that the amount is Rs 10 lakh, it would serve as a disincentive.

While several activists have welcomed the SP's decision, Sangh Parivar has termed it an attempt to curb the rights of Hindus.

What is the right of Hindus .... To come on the roads to create problems ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

This District is not communally sensitive . but the problem here is POLICE Stations which are safe heavens for Fascists who ofien give much respect for criminals belonging to VIREN KOTIANs so called Hindutwa groups

Good Step from DK Police.. Hope atleast by such type of bond Mangalore will get peace.

Sangh pariwar has termed it an attempt to curb the rights of hindus......what a shame....

This amount is nothing Compared to political gain after the incidents.

This program is applicable to all religions.
It is not just for 1 particular community.

Respect the law and the intention of the Law enforcement officers.
Set a good example by obeying it and children will also follow you.
Teach your children what is in the basic teaching of Hindu Religion. What is Adarsh of Shri Ramji.

Importantly tell them there is only 1God for all religions. We all are the creatures of that God. We worship that 1God. This is our nucleus point to all of us. We all are heading to 1 and only target to please that God.

This will reunite all of us, no need police, no need judiciary.
When can we see this day.
