‘Collusion between Sangh Parivar and police disclosed’
Komu Souharda Vedike on Perduru incident
Udupi, June 7: District Karnataka Komu Souharda Vedike president and thinker G Rajashekar said that unlike previous incidents, the Perduru incident, for the first time in coastal region, has disclosed the collusion between the Sangh Parivar and the police department.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said that attacks and killings related to cattle transportation are not new in coastal area.
Like Adi Udupi nude incident, murder of Krishnaiah Pathali near Barkuru and Praveen Poojary of Kenjaru, Perduru Husainabba incident is just another incident. For the first time, Udupi SP Laxman Nimbargi and his team has busted the connivance between the Sangh Parivar and police department.
Vedike would thank the SP and his team for taking suitable action against the accused and upheld the morality of the people, he said.
Since 2000, the Vedike has been, time and again, pointing that the wrongdoings of the Sangh Parivar members were being covered-up in the earlier incidents because of the collusion with the police department. In the secret operation of ‘Cobrapost’, a coastal region BJP leader had said that the police department was under his control.
But till Perduru incident, this collusion was not yet disclosed legally. Hussainabba has been in the cattle trading for the last 35 years with legal permission. He used to purchase the cattle from others and doing his business for his livelihood. Like this, he had been to some places to purchase the cattle on May 30. But on May 31, his body was found in a bush in the limits of Hiriyadka police station. Interestingly, the police have booked the case as natural death. But when the police investigated the case based on the complaint from the relatives of Hussainabba, it was found that both Bajrang Dal workers and police have joined together in doing this crime.
Following this disclosure, the police have so far arrested 11 accused including three police personnel, he said.
As soon as the collusion between the Sangh Parivar and Police department disclosed, Udupi MP Shobha Karandlaje and an MLA have been making allegations against the law and order system and holding the coalition government responsible in arresting the Sangha Pariwar workers, he said.
The vedike would strongly condemn the attitude of the elected representatives who attack constitutional bodies. Like all thefts, cattle theft is also existed in the society. But during such attacks and killings, some forces have been systematically shielding the owners of the cattle who sold them, he said.
SP Laxman Nimbargi and his team were succeeded in their first stage. But those who were subjected to attack and torture in the earlier incidents were denied justice so far because of the negligence of the concerned governments and police department. So, this incident should not see the same situation. Without yielding to any pressure, the police department should take this to a logical end, he demanded.
Representatives of various organizations Phaniraj, William Martis, Yasin Malpe, Robert and others were present.
Police system require facelift
Scholar K Phaniraj said that with the Perduru incident, we have seen just a tip of iceberg. Unless the police who indulge in such illegal activities were not booked and take them into custody, such inhuman killings would not stop in the coastal region. To ensure this, the police department here would require a facelift and constitutional treatment, he demanded.

BWSSB to extract biogas from sewage sludge
Bengaluru (PTI): The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is set to roll out a major biogas initiative to extract compressed biogas from sewage sludge, aiming to generate over Rs 120 crore in additional revenue over the next two decades.
The project approved by the state cabinet is expected to be the largest of its kind in the country, utilising about 550 MLD of sewage across five major sewage treatment plants, according to an official release.
"This brilliantly structured PPP model allows us to generate over Rs 120 crore in fresh revenue without investing a single rupee in capital or operations," BWSSB Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar said in the statement.
Under the project, raw biogas currently used for in-house power generation or flared will be upgraded to CBG meeting national standards for injection into the city gas distribution network or use as a clean transport fuel, the release said.
The initiative will be executed on a public-private partnership model, with the private concessionaire bearing the entire Rs 85 crore capital expenditure and operational costs, while BWSSB will provide land within treatment plant premises.
Describing it as a step towards energy security and the circular economy, officials said the project could serve as a national model for similar urban initiatives.
