Mangaluru: Derogatory comments on Facebook - Bajrang Dal leader arrested


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (DV)

Mangaluru, Dec 26: The Kadri police have arrested the main accused in connection to a Facebook post that allegedly abused and threatened social activist and convener of Citizens' Forum for Mangalore Development Vidya Dinker.

Punith Raj Kottari, co-convener of Bajrang Dal Mangaluru unit, was arrested on Saturday December 26.

It is learnt that Punith has been produced in court and sent to judicial custody till December 28.

Vidya Dinker had filed a complaint against Punith and 21 others for posting abusive comments against her on Facebook, after she complained against Bajrang Dal for forcibly stopping the screening of 'Dilwale' movie in multiplexes in the city. The activists of Bajrang Dal, in protest against actor Shah Rukh Khan's comment on intolerance, had on December 21 protested against the movie and stopped its screening.
Vidya Dinker had also stated in her complaint that Facebook page called 'Veera Kesari' and its followers had uploaded remarks threatening to physically assault, rape and murder her. Based on her complaint, a case was filed in Kadri police station.

In another development, Pandeshwar police arrested six persons for forcibly stopping the screening of 'Dilwale' movie. They were later released on bail.

    This future rapist was probably brainwashed and lead on the wrong path by upper castes sanghis.

    Hundreds of youngsters in Mangalore-Udupi region are indoctrinated with hate in shakhas and parishads and these boys eventually land up in jail with no career or steady income.

    Facebook has become toy for most of the Bhakts, who din't even see the face of book!

    One little or medium educated Bhakt posts photoshopped photo of 'Shanghai bus station' with caption 'Ahmadabad bus station' on FB page (to brainwash people saying, it is 'Gujarat model') & other bakraas shares the post left & right!!

    Above is just an example, there are thousands of such posts on FB!!!

    Some Bhakts are blaming Madam Vidya Dinker, saying ‘why she is promoting Dilwale?’. Infact, she didn't ask people to go and watch Dilwale. She raised her concern over 'Cheddi Bhakts' stopping people watching movies with their own wish & their own money.

    Who the hell are they to stop us? Let them not watch SRK, Amir Khan movies or break TV sets at their houses, when SRK, Amir Khan appears on TV. Who cares?

    Without Bhakts watching & cancelling so many shows across country, 'Dilwale' has collected 215 crores in 7 days...!
    Watch out for next block buster from SRK - "FAN"

    This time Vidya Dinker, next time, entire nation stand against such 'Taliban influenced' brainless Bhakts... Mind it.

    This handsome boy(Javane) is spoiling his career/future by indulging in anti-society,anti-national and unwanted activities.This is sheerly due to unemployment in our state/District/country.This menace should be addressed first.But these guys are already purchased by some organizations for their illegal activities,immoral purpose and unwanted activities by paying some peanuts,liquor.Therefore it is very difficult for them to get out of from the clutches of these organizations and they are tuned for these kind of activities.

    I kindly request all the youngsters of this modern society,please desist from all these activities,focus on your future,think about your parents,well wishers,friends and build a strong India rather than indulging in all these unwanted activities.These activities will definitely ruin your life and future.Future of India will rest on you guys.Concentrate on it and try to get some innovative ideas how to make our country strong.God bless you all.Feel very sorry for these youngsters.Now they may be enjoying what they are doing but one day the day will come to regret for what they have done and harm to the society.

Don't be surprised if in the next coming days we will be having mangalore bandh in order to release him and at the same time anti religious hatred comments against non Hindus will be given.
    Until people's mentality will not change nothing can be changed.
    When people like jeevan and Co can issue meaningless comments , what else can you expect.

    As BD leader Sharan Pumpwell does not like any one from his own Billava caste especially a women from his own caste to come up as a leader in any forum, he is targeting Vidya Dinakar, but he is doing so by pushing Punit Kuttari belonging to another Caste so that other Billavas do not doubt him. But since brave Vidya Dinkar is born and brought up in Mumbai and later on shifted to Mangalore she will surely fight against these BD goons legally and teach them a lesson within the frame work of Law.

    Ramakrishna
    I do not know the caste of Vidya Dinakar for which I am least interested.

    But I had attended many meetings where Viday Dinakar was the spokesperson.

    One should not under estimate her. She is very bold woman fighting for the rights of common man. Her father was working for police department. So she has that inborn character of facing challenges in spite of threat to her life.

    I wish Vidya Dinakar all the best.

    Hope this young boy will change his hateful messages to Gandhi's message of peace.

    The Home Minister take note of the immoral activities of Bajrang Dai, VHP,HJV etc in Mangalore. They have already destroyed peace and harmony and spoiled the name of Mangalore.Human right activists and Women organisations should come forward to support Vidya Dinkar, the only Brave Lady of Mangalore.Citizens of Mangalore raise their voice to stop the immoral policing of BD, VHP etc
