Sene distributes pamphlets at St. Aloysius on drug abuse

August 13, 2011

Mangalore: The district unit of Shri Rama Sene, distributed pamphlets among the students of St. Aloysius College on Friday as part of its awareness campaign against drug abuse.

Students from other states, districts, and countries, come to Mangalore to pursue education and hardly fall prey to drug peddlers, the members of Shri Rama Sene alleged.

They also linked the purported drug mafia to the "terrorist organizations", who, according to them, use girl students for “Love Jihad.” A number of girl students have lost their lives, they said.

The pamphlet requested the students to stay away from drugs and warned them that many students are now getting addicted to drugs. It also accuses managements of colleges and the district administration of taking no action against drug abuse despite several cases coming to light recently.

The pamphlets have been issued by Madhusudan, the district president of the Shri Rama Sene.

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.
