Belagavi: Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Thursday told the Legislative Council that the Karnataka government has registered 12 cases in the last three years against individuals accused of shouting pro-Pakistan slogans. Six of these were suo motu cases filed by the police.

According to a report published by Deccan Herald, he said, of the 12 cases, charge sheet has been submitted in five cases. ‘B’ report has been filed in two cases, three cases are under investigation, C report filed in one case while a forensic lab report is pending in one case.

Responding to another question raised by JD(S) member T A Sharavana, the Home Minister urged members not to single out the entire police force based on a few incidents involving police personnel committing criminal acts.

“It is not that the police are doing nothing. There is peace in society because police are active. Compared to other states, the crime rate is less in Karnataka,” DH quoted the home minister as saying.

Parameshwara also informed the House that there are recommendations to dismiss police officials who have been found involved in criminal activities.
