Safeguard the image of Dakshina Kannada: KSCW to govt.

August 8, 2012

Bangalore, August 8: The Karnataka State Commission for Women, which had lashed out at Mangalore police for their failure to prevent the July 28 attack on Morning Mist homestay, has now advised the administration to take measures to safeguard the image of Dakshina Kannada.

KSCW chairperson C Manjula, who has prepared a five-page report after paying a visit to the spot last week, reiterated that it was a brutal incident which has left a scar on the victims.

She also said that the priority should be to help the victims of the attack to recover emotionally and psychologically.

She said that the Commission has suggested the government take long-term measures so that the image of the coastal district is not sullied further. Police have a pivotal role in preventing the recurrence of such incidents.

Ms Manjula has sought action against local police. "Subhash Padil is a habitual offender. Why didn't the police keep a vigil on him?'' she asked.

“Police action should be impartial, while the administration should ensure the rights of citizens are not violated,'' she 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.

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.
