Bengaluru, Dec 2: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad Sunday held its "Janaagraha" convention here to press for promulgation of an ordinance to pave the way for construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Thousands of VHP members from various parts of the state including Mysuru, Mandya, Kolar and Hassan besides Bengaluru participated in the event.

VHP members also took out processions from different parts of the city.

Addressing the convention, VHP national General Secretary Milind Parande claimed Hindus were losing patience over the "inordinate delay" in disposal of the Ayodhya land dispute case pending in the Supreme Court.

"Hindus have waited for centuries for the building of the Ram temple at Ayodhya, but the court has postponed the case. We respect the institution, but that does not mean we can eternally wait for justice. The majority community is losing patience," he said.

Parande urged the central government to bring an ordinance to allow construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.

On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.

Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
