Mangalore: Petty Fight over Car Parking kills One  
Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SB)


Mangalore, Jul 12: In an unfortunate confrontation over an issue as trivial as car parking at Ujjodi near Pumpwell in the city on Saturday July 11 late evening, a person was assaulted by sword by another person following which the man assaulted succumbed to injuries.













The deceased has been identified as Harish Poojary (50). The incident occurred when Poojary and John D’Souza, both residents of Sheetal apartment  at Ujjodi fought over disagreement on the issue of car parking. It is learnt that Poojary initially man-handled D’Souza, who on being enraged went to his residence and brought a sword. In fit of rage D’Souza assaulted Poojary with sword due to which the latter suffered grievous injuries.

Though Poojary was taken to a private hospital in the city immediately, he died on the way. D’Souza fled from the spot. Poojary owned a welding shop in Naguri on city outskirts and D’Souza is a contractor by profession. While Poojary has two little daughters, D’Souza is the father of three little children. A case has been registered at Kankanady Rural police station.

    Poverty is a blessing in disguise. Money, possessions, luxury life would not give real peace rather creats an preoccupation and hinder the human relationship. Sad to hear that a petty quarrel between two perons,going to such an extreme to take away the life is really serious to think about.

    Both are not criminals according to majority of DAIJI readers.Now,both families are in big crisis.One has permanently left the world. Another will stay behind bar. Still RAY OF HOPE is there if Poojary family pardons John D''souza !! In return ,if John D''souza takes care of Poojary family !! It looks funny or unimaginable..but this is the LAST WAY !! Dear Daiji readers..any comments ?

    Anamika Dubai..try to understand tone behind my comments. I have seen many times commentators mentioning a community as peace loving community and indirectly saying others are violent. Just I wanted to say that violent people are in every community.

    Just go through other comments , no one is asking justice for Mr. Poojary’s family by convicting John. Just imagine the response if crime committed by Poojari. Then about Rohi''s murderers we are framed them as criminals. Unlike here we are not issuing charactor certificate to criminals.

    The one who controls his/her anger is the strongest person on the face of this earth. Human being loose control only when he is angry or he is intoxicated, under the influence of alchohol or drug. In a matter of a second the life changed upside down to two innocent families.

    Every body here commenting on the published news.No body knows what led to the attack and finally murder. It is published in " Karavali Ale " dated 12.07.2009 that Mr. Poojary has a history of creating nuisance in the apartment where ever he stayed. He has constructed a car shed for his own use in the common area.

    Some Apartment people even say that he was not paying apartment maintenance. Mr. John was gentleman and even donated a Gudi in Ujjody Maha Kali Temple . I have this information because I stay in the neighbourhood. This happened only due to short temper. Had some body intervened and pacified both in that particular time of anger the tragedy would have been averted. Now we can only pray for the departed soul and both families.

    It is very very sad and shockig news for every human kind. I knew both family and I was residing to same locality. Mr. John has come from very poor family, during his young school time he used work and studies. During my stay in same locality there was not only parking problems, even there was a problem of road. What I believe both John and Poojary are not criminals, both were good in nature. Things here happen is nature of prestige. Due to the prestige both were became wild since so many years. Most of time there was a fight between them (heard from some one). But I knew John when he was young school boy where he was staying in one of my close freind house and studying. He was good boy and sure he is not a criminal. If he would have criminal he would have criminal record. Things happen due to lack of misunderstanding between them. I belive this is the lesson for every human kind that how human kind will loose their temperament and loose thier everthing of thier life. Here not only suffered Poojary''s family, even suffered a John family as he is having small 3 children also. Now both families are in darkness. My sincere symathy to Poojary family, may his soul rest in peace and I pray the lord for both family to show future brighness specially for John''s cute small 3 innocent children and dauhters of Mr. Poojary.

    Rita Mangalore/Dubai- you are writing in capital letters and the contents look very silly, especially given the timing, the mood and the mental state of the people affected.. M.bhat, Mumbai just a clarification Mr.Charles has clearly mentioned it was "UNFORTUNATE" I am sure Mr. D''''souza having three children, never thought of killing Mr. Poojary father of two beautiful daughters.. One has to control the temper. So before you comment something kindly analyze ...and just don''t hold someone responsible for which you have not understood clearly... Mr.Thilak Shetty, Dubai, Mangalore Mr. Dsouza..holy book says love your neighbor but you killed your neighbor. Being a member of peace loving community why you equipped with a sword ? These were your comments so if this was the case Hindu brothers should not hold swords in their hands .Then why was Mr.Rohi murdered by his own Hindu brothers? Is there an answer .... No one knows what exactly happened & the exchange of words between the deceased Harish Poojary & John D''''Souza. The idea behind this is clear that this is not a one day issue which has brought an Murder end this is definitely a long time issue. So please don''t comment on the Bible & Bagawat Geeta or the Quran rather pray for the departed soul & pray for their families guys...

    Since the murderer belongs to minority community, messages are more polite, sympthetic and advisory in nature. Had it been otherway round there would have snarling and pouncing on hindus. This is hypocracy. The murderer needs to be meted out strict punishment as this is a cold blooded pre planned murder. How can a ordinary person keep sword in his house? Police has to check his antecedents as sword are kept by anti social elements.

    This incidnet not just both men came out from their house and fought each other and the end came one killed another. It seeems to be a long time enmity between these two, but I wonder why no one from the building come forward and settle this matter peacefully much earlier, or others in the building never thought it would end up like this and wanted to see the fun very often when these two fight.

    There more apartment buildings ocupants fight for small things and sometimes never see face to face including their small innocent children, and they grow up in same atmosphere. We are educated, trying to send our children for more and more higher education, but when it comes to the beautiful place which we call this is my house, we have no peace of mind.

    Shocking news ..! An unwarranted incident of two immatured adults. Dispute over car parking might have handled by referring the matter to President of the Sheetal Apartment Residents Association or core committee members.

    No one knows what exactley happend & the exchange of words between the deceased Harish Poojary & John D''Souza. But even Mr. Harish Poojary first manhandled Mr.J.D''Souza the way Mr.John D''Souza handled it by assaulting Mr.Poojary with the sword is wrong & inhuman.

    One has to control his anger before it destroys you. Now both these immature adults fought for a car parking place one of them lost precious life...! Our temperaments we have to keep under our control otherwise incidents like this for silly reasons end up in loosing one''s life. May his soul rest in peace.
