I haven’t insulted Rama: Prof Bhagavan
‘I have interpreted Valmiki Ramayana properly’
Mysuru, December 27: “I have not insulted Rama. But I have clearly interpreted Ramayana written by Valmiki”, said noted writer Prof KS Bhagavan.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday on a book ‘Rama Mandir Eke Beda?’, he said that “people have believed the wrong interpretations of Ramayana since many years. According to Valmiki, Rama was not the best. Only Sita was the best. I have clearly interpreted these factors in his book. I have not insulted Rama. I have just interpreted the Ramayana written by Valmiki. Valmiki had mentioned that Sri Rama used to make Sita to drink liquor and to spend time with women. I have just explained about it. What is wrong in it? All Hindu gods and goddesses are stones. I have been saying this since many years”, he said.
In order to keep four classes alive, Rama was projected as God. Other religions also have superstitious beliefs and ancient customs. But Hindu religion has more inequality than other religions. In order to educate the people to come out of superstitious beliefs and customs, he has written the book, he claimed.

Baba Siddique murder case: Mumbai cops invoke stringent MCOCA against 26 accused
Mumbai (PTI): The Mumbai Police has invoked the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime (MCOC) Act against 26 accused arrested so far in NCP politician Baba Siddique murder case, officials said on Saturday.
It is important to note that confessions made to the police under MCOCA are admissible as evidence in court. It is also difficult to secure bail under the MCOCA.
Provisions of stringent MCOCA are invoked in the Baba Siddique murder case, a Mumbai Police official said without elaborating.
Former Maharashtra minister Siddique, 66, was shot dead on October 12 by three assailants outside his son MLA Zeeshan Siddique's office building in Bandra East, Mumbai.
A total of 26 persons have been arrested so far in the murder case, including the suspected main shooter Shivkumar Gautam, while suspected key conspirators Shubham Lonkar and Zishan Mohammad Akhtar are still on the run.
Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother Anmol was arrested in the US for his alleged role in the murder of Siddique and firing outside actor Salman Khan’s Mumbai home.
Mumbai Police and Uttar Pradesh STF had earlier this month arrested Shivkumar Gautam from Bahraich district when he was trying to flee to Nepal.
Gautam had told police that Shubham Lonkar works for Lawrence Bishnoi and had facilitated communication through SnapChat between him (Gautam) and Anmol Bishnoi several times.
Gautam claimed he was promised Rs 10 lakh for killing Siddiuque, UP Police had said.
