Mangalore, Nov 23: “The term ‘love Jehad’ was used by a newspaper in Kerala and after that the word became popular”, said Dr D V Guruprasad, director general of police (DGP), Crime Investigating Department (CID), on Monday November 23.
Speaking to reporters, he said that they are investigating the missing person cases in the state.
“There are a thousand cases of missing people registered over a long period and some of them have been identified while the rest have not been identified. So, we have requested time from the high court to reply and submit a report in this regard”, said Dr Guruprasad.
In response to a query related to love Jehad, the DGP expressed dismay over the usage of the term and questioned the media about its meaning and said, “Let me know what it is and it will help in my investigation”.
“We are investigating the matter of missing cases with the human trafficking angle and there were some instances of such persons being used for begging and prostitution also. So, we have requested the state government to establish a wing of the CID—an anti-human trafficking cell—to prevent such incidents”, added Dr Guruprasad.
“The CoD has been renamed the Crime Investigating Department (CID) and CoD is under the CID”, he said, adding that it is to deal easily with interstate affairs when other states have CID.
“The CID has an anti-narcotic cell which deals with drugs-related cases and the state crime and intelligence bureau. There is a proposal to form a regional crime and intelligence bureau in the western range”, added Dr Guruprasad.
Gopal B Hosur, inspector general of police (western range), was also present.

Wed, Jan 20 2010Dear brother Mr. Ashok Bellare, sadly to know on your poor knowledge on Jihad! In your comments, you mentioned Jihad as Terrorism!! (in bracket). Plz dont link Jihad to Terrorism. In Arabic Jihad means “Holy War” or "Dharm Yuddh". In Holy Geeta, Sri Krishna also recited several times like Dharm Yuddh, Dharm Yuddh, Dharm Yuddh…. So u people calling this as too Terrorism!!!???. Like you people need to read and understand Holy Quran and Holy Geeta properly. Then only you came to know about real meaning of “Jihad”, “Holy War”or “Dharm Yuddh”.
As far as so called Love Jihad concern, this word is created & published by some criminal elements with some local news papers in our peaceful society to disturb the peace between the two communities. And I hope our brave & able police force will tackle this matter and show the true picture of this whole episode to the public without any pressure from any political or fundamental religious group.

Wed, Nov 25 2009My Muslim friends, please read the news again it clearly says, 'Love jehad' first coined by Kerala News papers. So where is the Sangh parivar coming into picture..? And few cases in Kerala have proven beyond doubt the existing racket be it Love jihad or real Jehad (terrorism). Dont try to protect bad elements, it will back fire one day. Jai hind.

Mon, Nov 23 2009Dear DGP sahab, we, muslims dont know the meaning of love jehad. RSS, BJP, BD,RS and some Hindu swamis know its meaning. Even the media doesnt know it. Its sangh parivars creation and forced on to muslim youths. But they dont realise that such malicious propaganda has caused their decline and the people once belived them are not willing to buy these malicious propaganda from them.
BJP is being cornered and I am sure the count down of its fall/decline has already started. Now you can see their frustration and damage control measures. RSS chief is now calling his muslim and christian counterparts as Indian and now talking aboout unity in diversity.

Mon, Nov 23 2009The correct meaning of Jihad is Muslim holy war or crusade against infidels. Jihad and War almost similar actions. Jihadis mentally prepared for the war hence chance of their involvement in time consuming Love affair specially with non-muslim ladies is very less.

Mon, Nov 23 2009I was taken aback when i first heard the word "love jehad" . I and my friends were laughing at the person who coined the word love jehad . Because there is nothing like that . It is utter stupidity of that person who created this whole thing to gain mileage .And to the newspaper who printed this , i would say one thing , think for the betterment of soceity and print articles in that regard . Not something nonsense which will get you nowhere .Print articles on unemployemnt,poverty, drug addiction ,alcholism,human trafficking,naxalism and cross border terrorism .
