African group to perform at Jumbo Circus

April 6, 2012

Mangalore, April 6: A group from Tanzania has arrived in Mangalore to perform at the ongoing Jumbo Circus in Mangalore.

Addressing mediapersons at Press Club in Mangalore on Friday, Srihari Nair, Media Coordinator of Jumbo Circus said that performances from a team comprising of eight artists from Tanzania will be a special attraction at the circus.

“There is a big fan following for African artists as they possess great speed and dynamism. This troupe is the only troupe that performs double pole acrobatics”, Mr. Nair said.

He also said that Jumbo Circus had been braving all odds and has been successful in entertaining people in spite of other modes of entertainment being at public's disposal in plenty. “To see live an elephant performing is something you don't get to see elsewhere. To see a bird which you don't find in the zoo is actually part of education for children too”, Mr. Nair said.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.
