    Ita a really drama. Innocent people are caught & put behind the bars & even torchered to agree they have done the crime. I am sure Ravi is not the person who has done it. No one will go on vandalise a Grotto. What he knows what is a Grotto first of all He will try to rob.

    His stomach will not fill by vandalising a Grotto. This is a story created by BJP as Loksaba elections are nearing. They are thinking Catholics are fools. No BJP you are wrong. Catch the actual Culprits.

    This is what is called politics. The election is nearby and the BJP wanted have a clean chit on their party. So by arresting a unknown person who is a scapegoat for them and wanted to gain the vote bank. Dear Mangalorean brothers and sister please do not sleep wake up and understand the situation. We are all Indians and then comes the religion. Please re-think and elect.

    The vandalisaiton of grotto located at St Ann’s Friary of Capuchin friars, at Bejai taken place on 15th September Monday morning time. As per the news from the local people the guys came in motor bike and after vandalisation of the grotto, they ran. The arrested person seems like a scapegoat as the miscreants has came in motor bikes and vandalised the grotto. Only God knows whether police arrested the real criminal or a scapegoat who has involved in other crimes also.
