Rape and murder threat: Case filed against 22 Sangh Parivar activists

December 26, 2015

Mangaluru, Dec 26: The Mangaluru East (Kadri) police have filed FIR against 22 abusers owing allegiance to Sangh Parivar including Bajrang Dal Mangaluru city co-convener Puneet Raj Kottari for posting hate comments against social activist Vidya Dinker.

The hate abusive campaign on Facebook against Ms Dinker, coordinator of Citizens Forum for Mangalore Development, began after she lodged a police complaint against Bajrang Dal activists for forcefully stopping the screening of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dilwale in Mangaluru.

It was Kottari, who instigated the online hatemongers to target Ms Dinker, by posting a derogatory comment on his Facebook wall against her. After police forced him to remove his abusive post a Facebook page named ‘Veera Kesari’ posted another provocative meme against Ms Dinker and provided an open platform for the miscreants to abuse and intimidate her.

Within a day the post attracted hundreds of abusive comments from Sangh Parivar activists. While most of the saffron activists poured sexually coloured abuses on Ms Dinker a few commenters also threatened to rape and murder her.

The FIR was filed after Ms Dinker lodged a formal complaint against the online abusers. The police said that they are investigating the case.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
