Newskarnataka-Mangalore
Mangalore : The Hindu Samrsakshana Vedike staged a protest in front of the Mangalore Rural Police Station on November 6, Wednesday demanding arrest of all those responsible for the recent communal clashes at Mallur in Neermarga.
Addressing the protestors, Harish Moodushedde, Taluk Panchayat President urged the police to arrest the culprits immediately lest they themselves will have to trap them. He even suspected that the police were apathetic owing to political pressure.
Jagadish Shenava, VHP leader warned that a Neermarga bandh call will be given if the police fail to arrest the accused within five days. If that too fails to yield result, then a district wide agitation will be called, he said.
Several Hindu leaders including Puneeth Pumpwell, Sharan Pumpwell, Pradeep Pumpwell, Veerappa, Bhujanga Kulal and others were present.
Police had maintained tight security to avert any untoward incident.
