Mangaluru: Alleged police atrocity - Minority Congress gives 15-day deadline to cops


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (EP)

Mangaluru, Apr 6: A day after activists of Popular Front of India (PFI) staged a stong protest against alleged harassment of Ahmed Qureshi in police custody and were caned by the police, leaders and members of the district unit of minority cell of the Congress held a meeting to condemn police action, and issued a deadline of 15 days to the cops to take action in the matter.

The meeting was held at Zeenath Baksh auditorium, Bunder here. Scores of Congress workers and leaders, including corporators, taluk panchayat and gram panchayat members were present in the meeting.

Addressing the gathering, former city mayor, Ashraf, said, "compensation should be disbursed to Ahmed Qureshi who has lost his kidney due to police torture. The entire cost of his treatment should be borne by the police. The police personnel who tortured him should be suspended from service. The present city crime branch (CCB) team should be reconstituted by replacing the current team with a new one. City police commissioner, Chandra Sekhar, who was responsible for this incident, should be transferred immediately. Our demands should be met within the next 15 days. If not, another meeting will be called to discuss and finalize further action.".

"Police officials and staff in the present CCB are in service for the last ten to fifteen years and they have failed to deliver justice. Therefore the team should be dissolved and new members should brought in their place," he demanded.

"Atrocities against minorities have been on the rise in the district for the last several years. The rights of minorities are not being recognized. Requests for justice are responded in the form of atrocities. There is no backing out if the demands are not fulfilled," he said.

Argument between members

When a member asked if the district in charge minister did not know about lathi charge on protesters, another member asked him to desist from speaking about political leaders. The member responded that he did not criticize anybody but only put forth the facts.

B Ibrahim speaking on the occasion said that the meeting is called to discuss atrocities on minorities and obtain the opinion of minorities. "Why we shouldn’t draw the attention of the government when our government is in power?," he asked.

Former MP B Ibrahim, former MLA KSM Masood, district youth Congress secretary Suhail Kandak, district youth Congress vice president Lukman Bantwal, taluk panchayat member Samad, Congress leader Mustafa Kempi, Ahmed Bajal and others were present.

    Yes, it is quite visible that anti national activities have risen in recent years inspired by banned Dr. Zakir . And their number is increasing because it is spreading like a virus (not only Mangalore)all over the world. It is dangerous and threat to our security. Organisations like PFI should be banned because they never assist or cooperate Police investigation.
    In fact , they collaborate with criminals . Having said that we can not blame the whole community and there are 95% people are peace loving and patriotic. Few rotten apples spoil the whole basket. Police should have the proper data about anti nationals in dealing with the crimes instead of giving trouble to innocent people. Also police should use cctv and cameras to boost our security system.

    My question to the State and Taluk leadership - When you came asking for votes for the Congress, we gave you the votes and full support from our community. So your party won by a majority. Now ,is this what you give us back? Why are you so ungrateful?

    In mangalore , all the policemen, even the traffic ones behave very well with public. Haven't we seen policemen in duty, completely drenched in rain? There are policemen lend hand to elders to cross the roads, filling potholes on roads.
    Teenager, if some policemen have not behaved well with you, then it means you are at fault. They behave very badly with wrongdoers.

    why this minority congress not condemning the act of PFI for pelting stones n soda bottle in first place!!
    these should think this is Karnataka and people won't allowed/accept Kashmir practice here for sure,
    everywhere they cannot expect government to support their misdeeds since election is ahead and sure government will judge suitable not favourably!!
    Rest of the world witness the atrocity and India will not be exception if not dealt suitably...we done Karnataka Police to keep up the good work to restrict the goondagiri
    PFI should work at national interest not community interest..being a political party they should considered themselves as Indian first rather to Islamic, better train their cadre for patriotism, peace, patience, brotherhood with all faith

    Shankar,

    Are you going to make your lies as true? How you make baseless allegations that SDPI thrown stones at police and public property. Even police don’t have any proof on their CCTV recording. Don’t support atrocities. If anybody commits crime should be punished without any bias. If you see religion in every matter, you cannot judge as gentleman.

    Hey Indian Teenager,
    Why you are hiding your name & commenting here? Those people done the right thing before lati charge then let them go to court against police. I was watching whole incident from my office near DC office that day. Police are not Rakshasas. Once feel insecure, mob gets out of control, pelted stones, damage public properties then only they started Lati Charge as permitted by senior officers (also they recorded whole incident with mobile camera). They also have resposiblity to protect public property & common people. Those goons needs Royal Treatment after doing crime?

    I've already mentioned earlier that, if they pelted stones yes they're on fault. And I didn't say anything regarding the lathi charge, did I? I didn't question the lathi charge. Obvio they'd do it if they can't handle. And there's no sign of pelting stones in the video which's recorded. All I can see is lathi charge. And do you think going against cops in court will work out? This's India bro! Regarding hiding my name, why do you care about it? If I mention my name, I'll be judged on my religion right? Now that you know I'm a muslim, I'll be judged by idiots like you saying I'm supporting the protestors just because i belong to Muslim community, won't I?

    If these cops assault someone to such an extent that a person's kidneys aren't working, then what is the difference between those BD/Rama sene/lakshmana sene/seetha sene gundas and the police?? They don't provide justice where it's actually needed, instead they do these kind of things. The PFI protestors who are arrested right now for might be undergoing severe torture too and no-one gets to know about it, until someone's kidneys are lost!!

    Criminal activity of minorities have increased many many 100 folds therefore "Atrocities against minorities have been on the rise in the district for the last several years. Minorities first let them understand if they want to live peace fully follow the law of the land, stop illegal cow trafficking. learn to respect other religion if they ant to get respect.

    First of all PFI must understand that Mr.Qureshi is not the only person who was tortured in police custody in India..There are thousands of innocent and accused people are being tortured in Police Lock up daily..So, don't make Qureshi incident big and create problem...If you want to protest, then protest for everyone who are being tortured by police in custody..Everyone will support you...Otherwise no one will support you. and Police will show DASHAVATARAM again with more brutality..

    If people raise voice against one incident, cops will eventually get scared to torture people in future. And if people raise voice against police brutality, it'll just be slammed by the cops saying there's no evidence. But in this case, the victim lost his kidney and is been hospitalized. It's enough to prove the physical assault by the cops.

    Lock up torture and death are common in almost all States of India..One incident which I don't forget is that.." Bhagalpur Police Atrocitiy(Bihar)."..Police tortured jail inmates in such a way cruel way that poor inmates lost their both eyes...

    Some Police treatments: Giving urine instead of water, electric shock, Aeroplane treatment (hanging with both hands tied back).. keeping on ice with hands and legs tied.. keeping in dark room for many days.. (Generally they have to use these treatments for hardcore criminals..but now a days Police use this on everyone who is in lockup)..

    If PFI protestors had pelted stones, then yeah they're on fault. but the cops should learn a lesson too. They think because of their police post, they can do anything. You barely get to see a trafic cop or any other cop behaving with you properly. They torture so many people in their police station in the name of questioning and no-one gets to know about it! If the victim raises voice against it, they'll escape saying there's no evidence. This's why they're encouraged to beat up people however they want. Now this guy lost his kidney bcz of torture, and this's a chance to teach the cops a lesson so that they stop beating up people during questioning. Stop blaming Muslims or PFI for everything, M'lore cops are no saints!
