Hassan: When Bajrang Dal and Vishva Hindu Parishad workers were protesting against Quran recitation in Belur of Hassan district, there was a scuffle between the two communities and the police resorted to baton charge to control the situation.

Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Vidhu Parishad workers staged a protest in the city demanding the cancellation of Quran recitation during Belur Channakesava Rathotsava. They protested by blocking the road. At this time, a young man from the Muslim community who came on a bike shouted the slogan of Quran Zindabad.

Infuriated by this, the Bajrang Dal activists took the young man to task. An argument took place between the protestors and the youth. Bajrang Dal activists chased the youth. The police resorted to lathi charge to control the situation. Also, the youth has been taken into custody and is being interrogated. However, there is a tense atmosphere in the place.

Hindu activists staged a protest and submitted a petition to the Tehsildar demanding that Quran should not be recited in the Hindu religious fair. The authorities have demanded that an order be issued by April 3 in this regard.

Last year, amid opposition from Hindu activists, recitation of the Quran was held at the Channakeshava fair. However, Hindu activists claim that recitation of the Quran before Hindu gods was forcibly added in 1932.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has made significant progress in the investigation into the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast at the Rameshwaram cafe in Bengaluru’s Brookfield. On March 1, Muzammil Shareef, identified as a key conspirator, was apprehended by NIA teams during crackdowns at 18 locations across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh.

Muzammil Shareef’s arrest comes after NIA took over the case on March 3, following initial investigations by Bengaluru’s Central Crime Branch (CCB). The blast, carried out by the main accused Mussavir Shazeeb Hussain, resulted in severe injuries to several customers and staff members, causing extensive damage to the property.

NIA’s investigations have unveiled Muzammil Shareef’s role in providing logistic support to the prime accused and another conspirator, Abdul Matheen Taha. While Hussain and Taha remain at large, NIA’s efforts continue to bring them to justice.

The blast, triggered by an IED, necessitated a swift and thorough investigation by NIA to ensure accountability and prevent further threats to public safety. With ongoing efforts and collaboration with law enforcement agencies, NIA remains committed to unraveling the complete network behind such acts of terrorism.

Stay tuned for more updates on NIA’s investigation into the Bengaluru cafe blast case as efforts intensify to bring all perpetrators to justice and safeguard our communities from such heinous acts.

The altercation, which took place on a bus route in Siddapur, involved conductor Honnappan and a female passenger, Tanjila Ismail.

According to reports, the confrontation escalated when Ismail requested a ticket to travel on the BMTC bus. Allegedly, the conductor became agitated and demanded her Aadhaar card. Despite repeated requests, Ismail failed to produce the card, leading to a verbal exchange between the two.
