Four including Sangh Parivar activist identified as suspects in Surathkal stabbing case
Surathkal: The police team investigating the stabbing of two men by a group at a bar in town on Thursday has reportedly identified four suspects, with one of them found to be a member of the Sangh Parivar.
The group stabbed Hasan Murshid (18) of Hillside in Krishnapura, and Nizam (23) of Chokkabettu in Surathkal near Deepak Bar in town on Thursday night.
Surathkal Police Inspector Pramod Kumar and his team are learned to have visited the crime scene with a friend of the attack victims and inspected the area. On checking the CCTV camera footage, the police team found that the suspects, Gururaj, who is a Sangh Parivar activist and rowdy sheeter and his acquaintances Alex Santhosh, Sushanth and Nitin, had attacked Murshid and Nizam on Thursday.
A group of policemen immediately raided the Gururaj’s hideout, but found that the suspect had escaped from there.
The CCTV camera also recorded an argument between the group and the victims and three of their friends at the bar. The verbal duel intensified into a fight and resulted in the stabbing. Murshid’s hands are said to have been injured when he attempted to stop the attack.

Karnataka's Bill against Hate Speeches conspiracy against Hindutva activists: Pramod Muthalik
Davanagere: Sri Rama Sene national president Pramod Muthalik has accused the state government of using the proposed Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill to target Hindus and to suppress Hindutva organisations and their leaders.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Muthalik said the Sene opposes the Bill. According to him, the government is bringing this legislation only to appease Muslim voters while selectively targeting Hindu voices.
He questioned whether it is wrong to speak against cow slaughter when the ban is already in force but violations still occur in many places. “Is it wrong to raise awareness among Hindus about love jihad? Is it wrong to oppose illegal construction of churches, mosques or encroachments on cremation grounds? Is objecting to religious conversions wrong?” he asked.
Muthalik alleged that the Bill attempts to silence anyone who questions or protests such issues. He said the move goes against the spirit of the Constitution framed by Dr B.R. Ambedkar and is aimed at weakening the Hindu community.
He urged BJP and JD(S) MLAs to strongly oppose the Bill in the upcoming session and ensure it does not get passed. The organisation will submit memorandums to all legislators and mount pressure, he added.
During the press meet, Muthalik tore copies of the Bill in protest. Leaders of Sri Rama Sene including Parashuram Nadavinamani, Yashavanth, Sridhar and Madhu were present.
