Mangaluru: A video of Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell justifying before an audience the murder of Fazil in Surathkal as an act of revenge for the murder of BJP Yuva Morcha activist Praveen Nettaru has gone viral on social media.
Pumpwell, who addressed a rally in Tumakuru, has said in the video clip, “Wishing to give a befitting reply to the ‘Muslim Jihadists’ who had a hand in the murder of Praveen Nettaru, the hot-blooded youth in Surathkal got into action not in a secluded place, but in a crowded market, in full view of the public. They have shown the power of Hindu youth.”
Nettaru was murdered on July 26, 2022, two days after which, Mohammed Fazil, a youngster from Surathkal, was killed in a public place.
Fazil’s father had expressed his dissatisfaction that the government, which handed the case of Nettaru’s murder to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), did not do so with regard to his son’s murder. The people who had planned Fazil’s murder too have not been arrested, he has complained.
In response to the video on social media, many have demanded that Sharan Pumpwell be arrested for provoking people to resort to acts of violence.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
