Woman says no one helped her when she was abused and threatened by MLA Harris’ son
Bengaluru: A woman posted a video on Facebook accusing MLA Harris' son Mohammed Nalpad, who is accused of assaulting a youth, assaulted and threatened her also in the past.
Varshita Das Poornima, who posted the video on the social networking site, said the media, which is expressing their anger over the assault on youth by MLA's son, was tight-lipped when justice was denied to her. Besides, when she requested self-proclaimed Hindu organizations like Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene to get her justice, they asked her to gather 500, 1000 people. Expressing her anger, she said, "Instead of fighting for a woman's justice, If Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene ask her to gather people, then such organizations must be thrown away into garbage bins."
"For two days, the state media is back of Harris' son. That is fine. But three years ago, when I went to police station to file a complaint against the same Harris' son, no police station was ready to take my complaint. Before I reach the police station, a phone call comes there saying that a woman by name Poornima will come, do not take any complaint from her. When Muslims, who stood by Harris' son, said, they will cut me into pieces on the road itself, where was the media at that time?"
"Was media fixed with Harris on that occasion? I had given a complaint to Cubbon Park police station. Police told me that it does not come in our area, go to Alsur police station. In Alsur police station, they said it does not come in the limits of Alsur police station; go to Cubbon Park police station. Police did not have morality in that instance. In front of me, they threw my complaint into a dustbin."
"I have been insulted for being a woman. My life is under threat. When I requested big organizations like Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene to come for my assistance, they asked me to gather 500, 1000 people. Why would I need your organizations if I was able to gather 500, 1000 people? Throw your organizations to garbage bins. Shame on Shri Ram Sene, Muthalik, Bhajarangadal and Suryanarayan. Harris, who made me cry today, is still at large," she said.
However, Poornima's video has gone viral and over 1 lakh 69 thousand people have watched it. So far, It has received three thousand comments and shared 4,454 times.

London, Nov 22: A bomb disposal squad deployed as a “precaution” to the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport concluded an investigation into a "security incident" on Friday after making a “suspect package” safe.
The South Terminal of Gatwick Airport, the UK's second busiest airport after Heathrow, which was briefly shut owing to the incident reopened following the incident.
The Gatwick is around 45 km south of London.
Two people detained during the enquiries have since been allowed to continue their journey as the airport was opened.
“Police have concluded their investigation into a report of a suspect package at Gatwick Airport. Officers from the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team made the package safe, and the airport has been handed back to its operator,” Sussex Police said in an updated statement.
“Two people detained while enquiries were ongoing have subsequently been allowed to continue their journeys. There will remain an increased police presence in the area to assist with passengers accessing the South Terminal for onward travel,” the statement added.
Earlier on Friday, the incident caused severe disruption at the busy airport’s South Terminal, while the North Terminal of Gatwick Airport remained unaffected.
“Police were called to the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport at 8.20 am on Friday (November 22) following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage,” a Sussex Police statement said.
“To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with. As a precaution, an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team is being deployed to the airport. This is causing significant disruption and some roads around the South Terminal have been closed. We’d advise the public to avoid the area where possible,” it said.
Footage on social media taken outside the airport showed crowds of frustrated travellers being moved away from the terminal building.
Gatwick said it was working hard to resolve the issue.
“A large part of the South Terminal has been evacuated as a precaution while we continue to investigate a security incident," the airport said in a social media post.
“Passengers will not be able to enter the South Terminal while this is ongoing. The safety and security of our passengers and staff remain our top priority. We are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
Train and bus services that serve the airport were also impacted while the police carried out their inquiries.
In an unrelated incident in south London on Friday morning, the US Embassy area in Nine Elms by the River Thames was the scene of a controlled explosion by Scotland Yard dealing with what they believe may have been a “hoax device”.
“We can confirm the 'loud bang' reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” the Metropolitan Police said in a post on X.
“Initial indications are that the item was a hoax device. An investigation will now follow. Some cordons will remain in place for the time being but the majority of the police response will now be stood down,” it added.
