Mangaluru, Feb 19: Police have taken a few Hindutva activists into custody after the murder of one of their associates in the wee hours of Sunday at Niddel, Maroli in Mangaluru.
Pratap (25), an activist of Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV), died on the spot after attacked by the fellow activists of the same outfit. However, the main target of the assailants, Manikantha, a mason by profession, escaped with injuries and got admitted to a hospital for treatment.
According to sources, an animosity started bubbling among the activists of the local unit of HJV after Manikanta reportedly informed the police about the theft committed by the fellow members of the outfit nearly two years ago. Recently, they also had reportedly fought over putting up a banner at Pumpwell. However, the police are still trying to find out the real motive behind the murder.
Local sources said that a group of HJV activists had tried to attack Manikanta on Saturday when the latter was doing masonry work at a house belonging to one Shaila in Maroli. However, the house owner intervened and chased the miscreants away.
At night, the Hindutva activists gathered in the birthday party of one of their associates identified as Achchu. After the party, the miscreants chased Manikanta. When his friend Pratap came to his rescue, the Hindutva activists attacked both of them with lethal weapons.
It is learnt that Pratp, who succumbed to injuries soon after the attack, had recently bagged a job in Mysuru and he had come home on a vacation. Unconfirmed sources said that police have managed to take six persons into custody including Vinesh, Mithun, Neeshu and Kaushi.
It is also said that all of them were involved in ganja peddling in the region. Meanwhile, a Hindu Jagarana Vedike leader has disowned the miscreants, saying that the outfit had already expelled them. A case has been registered in Kankanady Town Police station and investigations are on.

now thailand kotian will say this is handiwork of ISIS, these HJV bajarangadal are really threat to indian society, they dont even spare their own members and how will they protect hindus, my hindu brothers my advise to you is pls dont fall in their prey of foul agenda.
All Hindu outfits sane, RSS, even BJP should be banned immediately if late complete Hindu community will tagged as goonda and terrorist community, now Kerala goondas also joined hands with Mangalore goondas because they know Mangalore is safe place where there is no Law and order and goodagiri is free here
What a Sad news for Yeddi.............it will effect DK BJP to down their head...Sharan pumpwell will be underground......Kalladka will do something new to hide this ..........Media will get new issue...another issue will be raised to hide these things
Recognize the HJV and their activities.. They are all fooling to disrupt the peaceful society whenever these organisations shout in the name of religion...
The society which lives with all religious people is not harmful rather the people who shout to create unrest in the name of religion are the real culprit of the peaceful living society.
hope shobha karndlaje and nalini will not all for mangalore band.
Only the parents and dependent of deceased will no the pain and loss.
Rest all vedike, dala sena all for politicians benefits.
When our south kanara youngsters will understand the policy of culprit
politicians.
