Kundapur, Dec 20: Police personnel of Kota station in the taluk raided an illegal sand extraction unit in the early hours of Thursday December 20.

The gang was extracting sand at Hirehole rivulet in Belur village in this taluk. The police had received complaints from the local people about illegal sand mining going on without a break at this spot.

The sand extraction business here is owned by a petty politician. When the police team accompanied by media persons reached the spot, the politician warned the reporters against publishing anything about his unit in the media. He said that media persons had visited the spot to collect money, and advised them to publish all news items other than illegal sand mining.

Even as the police remained mute spectators, the politician had a heated argument with the media persons. The police at the end began to conduct inquest, and took into possession a Tata 407 vehicle, a Maruti 800 car and a boat.

    raiding is ok but when will the issue be resolved. The construction industry is already facing a tough time and upon that there is a sand ban.

    "Even as the police remained mute spectators, the politician had a heated argument with the media persons".... first and foremost lati charge should be done to the police staff who stood as mute spectators. Whenever there is a politician, these useless police staff stand like mute spectators and when a common man goes to the station to get support they behave like rowdies instead helping.
    Our police squads have become the slaves of political leaders.
