Daijiworld Media Network - Madikeri (SP)

Madikeri, Nov 20: Another case of moral policing has emerged from Kodagu district. In this case, a gang created a hubbub on the issue of burqa after which the police station was approached.

The incident happened in Somwarpet taluk in Kodagu district. It is said that over 40 persons belonging to an organization assaulted girls from another faith. The incident happened in KRC Circle, Shanivarasanthe on Thursday November 18 evening. Now the police reportedly have registered a case under the provisions of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Two persons have been arrested by the police.

A gang of over 40 persons belonging to an organization had attacked first PU students of Sacred Heart School, Shanivarasanthe, at about 4.15 pm on Thursday. The father of one of the aggrieved girls said that his daughter and her friend came under attack from some boys belonging to the Sangh Parivar. "My daughter had attended her college classes on Thursday morning. Before attending classes they have to remove their burqas. My daughter had removed her burqa and handed over the same to a Christian girl of the same college. The Christian girl had not attended the college on Thursday. Therefore, her friend was waiting to return the burqa to her in the evening near the college. But when the burqa was being returned, over 40 goondas attacked my daughter and her friend. The girls were locked up, beaten up, abused and assaulted," he claimed.

The girl's burqa was torn and her back has scratch marks. The girls were admitted into a hospital at Kodlipet," he explained. A video clip of the incident has become viral in social media. The families of the girls have filed first information report in the police station. Shanivarsanthe police have filed the report under the POCSO Act.

Shanivarsanthe police sub inspector Parashiva Murthy, giving information, said that two persons, Prajwal and Kaushik from Shanivarasanthe have been arrested. He said CCTV footage is being verified for making more arrests.

    Kudla stoories ,Kudla ,true,what you say.But I feel here it was not meant for any religion or of Burka,,but simply they saw girls with burka and wanted to trouble them ,and assaulted and touched them .What a low mentality of these goons.Very cheapones.Parents should really teach a good lesson ,before it is too late.Looks like a communist country or Afghanen.Even there ,they wouldnt do this .In china too they will not trouble girls this way.Ashaming.No wonder their girls are running away.I wish next time when boys trouble them ,simply bite them .so that they can be recognized and leave you alone.They didnt respect you,so give them with same treatment.

    Kodagu was a beautiful place. When I was young kid ,I used to stay with a Coorgi family during my school holidays. But the Sanghi’s have infiltrated this peaceful and friendly community to cause problems. This organisation is like a virus infecting minds of even young children from school levels. Parents should check if their children are getting involved with this organisation and ruin their studies and their future.

    DCP K. Ramrajan IPS Officer transferred by government of Karnataka. It's been heard that the protest of RSS and other Fanatics brought a pressure on government to transfer as he has filed Cases over 70 people who went into a Church and disturbed Church Service and also mishandled the Church men and women. Because he filed cases against these people and stood for rule of law, he has been transferred. What a shame on B.Bommai C.M.

    Very true. I agree with you. When good, advisable comments are put up, some don't want to take it positively? Why hit disagrees and supporting illegal things ?? Hope, this girl has not used the burqa to hide herself whole day....Parents dont repent later on... please awake now....Just providing pocketful money is not your responsibility. There ia much more beyond this. Police complaints, attacks, court that this really shameful to your families....

    Is it moral policing is working against physical privacy or safety of girls or womes, do wearing burka is against culture in moral policing ?! Do they want all girls wear transperant cloths !?!??!?

    Sangh Parivar people should mind their own business rather than interfering in other's life, a small advice for them 'go and work somewhere and earn your livelihood' ..... The parents of those girls should monitor their children's activities, not these unemployed youths of some parivars .....
