Daijiworld Media Network - Bantwal (RJP)
Bantwal, Aug 28: A person has been arrested for allegedly stalking and trying to rape a young girl and sent to judicial custody after being produced in court .
Santosh Louis Bernard (38) from Badagabellur, Varakodi near Polali is the accused.
As per the complaint, the accused followed the victim when she was returning home after her work in Kaikamba. The girl went to a house on the way to avoid the follower and later walked on again to her house thinking that the accused had gone.
But the accused who reappeared later pulled her towards him and allegedly tried rape her in a secluded place. The girl shouted loudly for help, and fearing that he may be caught, the accused ran away. The distance from the bus stop to the house of the victim is around one-and-a-half kilometre.
The girl after reaching her house narrated the incident to her family. Sub-inspector Rakshith from Bantwal police rural station who received the information about the incident rushed to the spot and took a written complaint from the victim and arrested the accused who was absconding.
The accused is married and has two children. People in the village said that he was known for misbehaving with women and girls.
'Congress putting pressure on police'
Meanwhile, some persons alleged in a press meet that as the accused belongs to a minority community, leaders of a political party have been putting pressure on the police to book the accused under lenient sections of the law so that he gets out on bail easily.
Referring to the recent Attavar incident, they said, "In Mangaluru, when we try to rescue our youngsters when they are in trouble, we are accused of moral policing and our people are arrested and sent to Ballari jail due to political pressure. Same is the case in this Badagabellur incident. Even if a young girl from our community is harassed, the Congress leaders take the side of the accused and sympathise with him. We need to protect the girls of our community.
"Why is the state department of women silent on the Attavar incident? Why is it not taking any action against the man who harassed the girl and tried to force her into his car?" they questioned.
Gururaj Bantwal, Shashikiran, Pradeep Ajjibettu, Prakash Bellur and Kishore Pallipady were present.

I am not supporting any political, but any guilty must be punished, so crimes must decreased,
People don’t have fear Of God, just being in religion no one is perfect, our relation with god keep us perfect, avoid us from sin,
May God save all of us from the roaring lions.

OTHERWISE WHY EVERY TIME IF PEOPLE PROTECT THEMSELVES IT IS LABELLED AS MORAL POLICING. THERE IS NO SCOPE FOR RESISTANCE/SELF DEFENCE BUT WE HAVE TO SIMPLY WATCH THE RAPES TO HAPPEN, THEFT TO HAPPEN.

Fri, Aug 28 2015There is no point in giving political color to every incident. Whenever there is crime the near and dear ones try to protect the accused as it is natural and opposite parties will try to make an issue by giving political color whether it is congress bjp or any other prominent political party. But the law should be abide by all and after proper investigation the guilty has to be punished and political parties should be kept away.

Fri, Aug 28 2015In Mumbai if anybody catch a pickpocketer public thrash him without seeing his religion. Nobody say it is moral policing or cruelty . In Delhi girls are getting raped or attacked and molested and spectators afraid to help the girl. Then the public will say nobody tried to help her. In mangalore, if public help a girl who is getting exploited then it is called moral policing. We need more moral policing without thrashing the culprit. There should be slight fear among people so that think ten times before indulging in immoral act. Moreover,police can not be every where. Let us all together make Mangalore a better place to live in peace.

Always guilty should be punished.
Keep in mind minorities even are there in BJP too.
We can not educate the goons who does not understand
what is minority,
what is politics,
who is victim,
who is accused,
who is guilty,
they just need a reason to destroy peace.
every women should be protected irrespective of cast,creed and age.
No politician will work for the betterment of another household.

1. why some people named above are going to press when the matter is not connected to them.
2. Political parties have nothing to do with the incident.but they are giving the political colour for what?.
3. If they are shouting for the girl belongs to their community. why are they silent in case of Soujanya, when she is from their community.
4. What about Sunder Malekudiya... is he not from their community?

2. Where were these goons during Delhi Nirbhaya incident. They were not enlightened to create awareness?.
3. How can they accuse that Congress making 'rescue' efforts. Do they have any proof. is yes let they produce it. Instead of making these baseless allegations.
This is nothing but a political game played by the Sangis. and the "influence" is made by these Sangis to defame the MLA. (because the MLA is from Congress).

Fri, Aug 28 2015We are digging our own grave deeper & deeper. How on earth these people can have so much time to indulge in issues saying ours & yours and who is putting pressure on whom ??? From where & how they collect these information ??? Who are their girls and who has given them work to protect them ??? Finally how on earth these people earn their daily bread ???
The present time is such that families are struggling daily to make the ends meet. It is our primary duty & responsibility to secure our life. Then only one can give security to another. It is a noble deed to help one another and it should be done properly. Right action produces right reaction and that of wrong creates wrong. So called "HELP" should not produce more harm than the "HELP" itself.
