Bengaluru, Jan 16: Some incidents happening in the city have given rise to suspicions about their likely plan of fomenting trouble here on Mangaluru model. The police also suspect that a gang from Kerala has arrived here to instigate Muslims settled in the city. In one such incident, three young men who were fighting in the middle of the road during late night hours on Wednesday were taken into custody and questioned.

Police personnel of Suddagunte Palya station, who were in plain clothes at the time, stopped the trio who were moving about suspiciously and questioned them about their identities, from where they came and where they were heading. The youth in turn, wanted to know what authority they had to question them, and wanted to see their ID cards. The police showed their ID cards but the youngsters continued with their antics. Therefore, all the three were taken into custody and led to Suddagunte Palya police station.

All the three were students of Reva College, Yelahanka, and they confirmed that they were from Kerala. The police sent them off after registering petty case, as they were students. Muhammed Wazir, Muhammed Hamam and Akarsh, after coming out of the station, claimed in a post in their social websites that the police ordered them to go to Pakistan as they were Muslims. They also said that the police obtained their information and wrote their details in a dairy maintained under the heading, 'NRC 2020'.

The police maintain NCR (non-cognizable offences register) for petty cases, and the youth apparently have noted the register as NRC. The police therefore doubt whether this is part of some conspiracy to stoke trouble in the city on the lines of Mangaluru. The police therefore are planning to crush people found planning to create disturbances.
