Uppinangady: In a video that has gone viral on social media, a Mannagundi Nelyadi woman resident has accused the BJP and Bajrang Dal gang of assaulting her and her employee three days ago while they were taking home a female calf belonging to the woman after the day’s grazing. Reportedly, the victimized woman is seen crying in the video detailing the physical assault inflicted on her by the BJP and Bajrang Dal gang.
The woman who was assaulted and victimized in the incident is receiving treatment in a private hospital at Nelyadi. She has reportedly demanded that the police help her obtain justice in the case.
Incident Detail: The woman, who is a resident of Mannagundi had been running a small shop at Parishanthi and as part of her daily routine, every morning she used to bring her female calf for grazing and tie it close to her shop. On April 27, as per usual, she had opened shop while her calf grazed close to her shop, it is learned. At the end of the day, after closing shop around 7.30 pm, the man she had employed known as Kumar was taking the calf back to her residence when a gang of 10 BJP and Bajrang Dal men arrived in a Bolero and another accompanying car and stopped him accusing, “You are taking the calf for slaughter” and began assaulting Kumar. When the woman learned of the matter, she immediately arrived at the spot and she was attacked by the gang who verbally abused her, tore her clothes, assaulted her, and snatched the Mangalsutra on her neck, the victimized woman said in the video.
“After sustaining injuries, I admitted myself to a private hospital. From the gang who assaulted me, I have already mentioned the name of Kokkada’s Mahesh to the police. Despite this, no case has been registered”, the victimized woman accused.
FIR will be registered, then an investigation will be undertaken: Kumar Kamble
The Sub Inspector at the Uppinangady Police station Kumar Kamble responded to the incident and said, “The woman who is making allegations of assault by a gang had refused to file an FIR while giving a statement earlier. And investigations have revealed that during the time of the assault, this woman was not at the site. Now, the video of that woman speaking about the incident has become viral. Therefore, her statement will be recorded once again and an FIR will be registered, investigations will be undertaken. If during investigations it is found that there is no truth to the allegations and the woman has given a false complaint, a case will also be registered against her”, he said.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
