August 30, 2012

Mangalore, August 30: A massive protest rally against the assault on students at Morning Mist homestay will be held under the joint auspices of Youth Congress, NSUI, SFI, DYFI, AISF, VJD(S), AIYF, and other like-minded student and youth organisations cutting across political barriers on September 1 in the city.

Addressing media persons at a press meet in Mangalore on Thursday, Mithun Rai, President of Youth Congress, DK, said that the attack on young boys and girls at the homestay was condemnable. The culprits have still not been booked under Goonda Act and through the protest rally, a demand would be made before the Deputy Commissioner to take appropriate measures, he said. Students from different colleges in and around the city and College unions are also scheduled to participate in the protest, he said.

Muneer Katipalla, President, DYFI, DK, said that the fight was apolitical and was being carried out with the sole aim of protecting the rights of the region's youth.

A peaceful procession would be held from Jyothi Circle to Deputy Commissioner's office at 10 am, where the protest would be staged.

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.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.
