Compensation to those killed in Mangaluru Police firing will motivate rioters: Minister CT Ravi
Moodbidri: CT Ravi, Karnataka Minister of Tourism on Wednesday asserted providing compensation to the families of those killed in police firing during violence will motivate the rioters and will also result in pulling down the morale of police force.
He was responding to a question by reporters in the wake of government’s move to withdraw the compensation that was announced to the families of Abdul Jaleel and Nousheen who died in police firing in Mangaluru on December 19.
“The violence was conspired. If we look at the CCTV footages that were released recently, we can easily make out that it was pre-planned. The violence and clashes came under control after the police took adequate measures otherwise things would turn worst” Ravi told reporters in Moodbidri.
Replying to another question by a reporter Ravi added that the visuals of CCTV footage confirmed those died in police firing were not innocent and were involved in violence against police.
