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.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.

“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.

The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.

Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.

There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
