Mangaluru, Oct 26: A Hindutva group, which considers Indian Muslim youths as their biggest enemies, has hinted at resorting to terrorism. Suryanarayan, a senior leader of Bajrang Dal on Monday told media persons in Mangaluru that Hinduva activists would not hesitate to carry weapons in their hands in future.

Holding Muslim youths and Muslim dominant organisations such as Popular Front of India responsible for attacks on Sangh Parivar activists in coastal Karnataka including the recent murder of Bajrang Dal activist Prashant Poojary in Moodbidri, he demanded the government to immediately ban PFI and other Muslim organisations in the state.

“Leaders of Muslim community should guild their youths to stop violence and lead a peaceful life in the society. If they failed to do so, we may have to carry weapons in our hands...,” he warned.

Congratulating the Mangaluru City Police for arresting nine persons in connection with the murder of flower vendor Prashant Poojary, who had involved in illegal activities in Moodbidri area, Mr Suryanarayan said that the police should intensify the probe into the case and make more arrests.

He also demanded the state government to immediately release a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the family members of the murdered youth.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

Udupi: Hindutva activist arrested for allegedly raping young woman while out on bail

December 1,2025

Udupi, Dec 1: A horrific case of alleged rape has unfolded in Udupi, where a worker from a Hindutva organisation, previously arrested and released on bail for harassing a young woman, is now accused of waylaying and sexually assaulting her.

The arrested individual has been identified as Pradeep Poojary (26), a member of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike's Nairkode unit in Perdur.

Poojary had allegedly been relentlessly harassing the young woman, pressuring her to marry him. When she bravely stood up to him and refused his demands, she filed a formal complaint at the Hiriyadka police station. He was subsequently arrested in that initial harassment case but was later granted bail.

According to police reports, driven by the same malicious grudge, Poojary allegedly intercepted the woman again on November 29. While she was walking through a deserted area, the accused is claimed to have threatened her by grabbing her neck. When she again refused to marry him, he allegedly proceeded to rape her.

The survivor immediately informed her family about the traumatic assault. Following this, her parents lodged a complaint at the Udupi women’s police station.

Police arrested Poojary again and produced him before the court. He has since been remanded to judicial custody.
