Mangaluru, Nov 7: The district police have tightened security across Dakshina Kannada in view of Tipu Jayanti on November 10. In a novel precautionary measure, the police have also directed trouble mongers in the district to furnish Rs 10 lakh bond.
Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase said, “apart from stepping up security and setting up nearly 50 check posts with camera surveillance across the district, the police are taking bonds from 421 persons who could create trouble.”
These 421 include those arrested in nine incidents of communal trouble reported last year, under Section 108 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Mr Borase said that the process was being initiated to fix responsibility on those likely to create trouble. “It is not just the police but it is also the responsibility of people to ensure peace,” he said.
“Last year, nine incidents of violence including a murder were reported following Tipu Jayanti between November 12 to 13 in Bantwal and Puttur taluks of Dakshina Kannada. Most importantly, around 1,500 police personnel had to guard district for nearly a month after the nine incidents,” he recalled.
“However, we don't want such incidents to recur and have identified around 421 communal goondas across the district and they will be asked to furnish Rs 10 lakh bond. In case they are involved in anti-social activities, they will be arrested and prosecuted as per magisterial orders," he pointed out.
The SP said that questions were raised by some groups against the police action during peace committee meetings. “But when we presented statistics (of criminal cases) and the intention behind such action, people gave their consent to it. This is the best option available with the police to ensure peace,” Mr. Borase said and added that in the last few days, 119 persons have executed the bond.

I agree that Tipu Sultan was a great ruler who sacrificed himself to get India free from British. Every one have respect for him. However, i dont support Govt to spend money to celebrate his birth day. It will be better if this money is utilized for betterness of down trodden people. Provide facilities to the needy people in the name of Tipu Sultan. Enemies of humanity are always on look for any moment to create trouble in society and they will definitely take this day to create communal clash for their benefit. I urge Govt and Police to take strict action to those who wants to take law in their hand and create trouble in society. Such goondas should be jailed for ever and heavy penalty should be levied on them so that they should not listen to their leaders and create disturbance to public. Any loss to Govt or public property in case of violence should be levied on these goondas.
Burnol Bhaagya for naren's friends :D
Logically, if Tippu Sultan is bad or converted Hindus to Islam religion, I think there wont be any hindus leaving around....but, now, Muslims population is still 12%....stupid RSS and BJP feeding worthless information...totally they dont want to see Muslim names highlighted....bloody racists...
