Mangalore, Sep 19: Chief minister B S Yadyurappa has agreed to order judicial probe into the vandalization of the churches and police caning incidents that occurred recently in the state.
Addressing a public function organized at Ankola in Uttara Kannada district on Friday September 19, he said that he had already agreed to conduct CoD probe into the church related incidents. But the Christian leaders who met him on Thursday September 18 said that they have no faith in the CoD probe. Therefore, the state government has decided to conduct a judicial probe. A retired High Court judge will be appointed for this purpose, he added.
Meanwhile, the state government has assured the National Commission for Minorities, of arresting state Bajrangdal convener Mahendra Kumar. The members of the minority commission met DGP Srikumar, after visiting various places of worship in and around the city, which came under attack of the Sangh Parivar activists recently.
