Mangalore, Mar 17:
“One person from the group of offenders who attacked the two newspaper offices in the city, has been arrested by the police”, informed Dr A S Rao, superintendent of police, on Wednesday March 17. 
 
Dr Rao said that the arrested man is Ubedulla, resident of Valachil, and there are clues about the others persons involved in the crime, and this will be disclosed after investigation. He added that there are more arrests to be made in this case. 


“The attack on newspaper offices is a serious crime and offenders will be punished with strict legal action”, said Gopal B Hosur, inspector general of police, adding that the attackers used petrol bombs which could have resulted in major loss of property as well as lives. 
 
“We will conduct a thorough investigation in this case before disclosing the whereabouts of the offenders”, said Hosur, in reply to a question from the journalists.
 
“Their intention was to disturb communal harmony in the society and to disrupt the law and order system of the district”, he said.
 
On Tuesday March 2, offices of the ‘Kannada Prabha’ and ‘Jaya Kirana’ were attacked by a group of miscreants using petrol bombs and other tools. Office furniture—interiors, computers and other equipment—was damaged in the incident.

      Hey NAGESH NAYAK , Kindly stop your blame games . if you are so interested to take India to the nxt level of civilization plz 1st stop your communal comments . a religion doesnt give rise to terroism , it is people like you who disturb the society in the 1st place which makes others also to take wrong measures .people like you are dividing the country in the name of religion . if there are so many religions in India it is just bcoz the ancestors have invaded India and ruled it . so every religion has equal rights in this country .

      What do you want to prove?? is your problems are solved after attacking these offices , what do u gain ?? “Punishment” its the mistake of those half educated people who misguided you .eg Nagesh Nayak there is no much difference b/w u people and terrorist community , agenda are same only diff is they are trying to destroy India and u - society ,Peace, Freedom etc . For this you no need to protect any matha .so far you people have done lot for your society & Bharath matha!!!! Simple saying - one spoiled fruit will spoil entire basket of fruits .

      Every human being is bound to taste the result of his deeds sooner or later. When we distance ourself from our Dharam ( religion) our karam ( actions) gets tainted. Those news paper offices are attacked and destroyed due to their " papa karam" ( bad actions). here bad actions means, they hurt the sentiments of one particular community to increase the circulation of their publication. Achieving selfish motive for personal gain through "Papa Karama" is against the law set by the creator. So they got the befitted punishment. In the second case, The person is caught due to his "Papa karma" and is about to receive his punishment. Destruction is a "Papa Karma" and can not be justified for a good cause. If these people thinks that by destruction they can heal the feeling of the affected, then this also the way of attaining satisfaction through bad deeds( papa Karma) and against the law of universe. Every good or bad karama eventually result in either in good or bad ending. So Those who are commenting here assess yourself that how far your actions are aligning with your " Dharam and Karam"..

      ITS NOT ABOUT BEING A HINDU, A MUSLIM, CRISTIAN or any other religion ITS ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT.
      If a Danish journalist depicts the Prophet of the Muslims , Muslims all
      over the world rise in anger, there is violence, a booty on the head of
      the Journalist - Muslims are not criticized for being communal and
      intolerant,
      If MF Hussain draws paintings depicting Hindu Gods and Goddesses
      in sexual positions (which relations are not borne out by ancient
      texts at all ) and Hindus merely protest , they are called communal,
      intolerant and taught lessons in secularism by one and all.
      if some one wrote sathyadarshini and some Hindu organization attacked church in the name of conversion..
      The problem apparently is not HINDU, A MUSLIM, CRISTIAN, it is with
      humanity , because we are not violent, we accept what ever is dished
      out to us , we do not have the patients to say that this is wrong , we seek
      acceptance from outsiders rather than from our conscience. We act before we think.
      We worship the same Gods and Goddesses but don't stand up for them when the time come. we should have organization to do right thing and to guide right path …but here what happened it is under control of politics. And organization is dancing according to the beets of politician. It may BJP/Congress/JD/BSP all are same If crime is done by any religion and it found true then he need to pay for that…that time we should not show any simpati to them… jai hind

      BJP is a useless govt. it is not for a poor people.
      All the criminals should be punished, irrespective of their religion. I really hate this politician.

      TAALIBAN,ALQUEDA,LeT,IM,SIMI ARE BELONGS TO YOUR RELIGION. THEY ARE HAVING ONLY ONE AGENDA -DESTROY INDIA. BUT REMEMBER THAT INDIAN CULTURE & HINDUISM FOLLOWER WILL PROTECT BHARATH MATA BY GIVING THEIR LIFE.

      Attack on Newspaper office is a crime. Newspaper is a link between people and outside world. Attackers should be punished. But there was a big mistake from Kannada Prabha also. There was no need to translate Taslima's very old story about Burka.And translation was very bad and some MASALA was added.

      But Muslims who don't have good sensible leader in Shimoga took dangerous step instead of peace rally.They threw stones and attacked hindu's shops,fought with police with Swords.Police who were in small number had to shoot.Next day,Hindu group did more damage than Muslims.Big shops,cars were burnt.Hindus counted their loses,and Muslims counted their loses.People started calculating who lost more.BUT NO ONE THOUGHT..SHIMOGA LOST EVERYTHING.ITS PRESTIGE,IMAGE,HUMANITY. Just because of one ordinary and bad translation by a stupid writer.

      It is everyone's responsibility to condemn the act who break the law. If we condemn the act of Bajarangdal's Shriram sena's act then we should also condemn if any muslim youth also do the same act. If Muslim youths are involved in the incident of attacking the Newspapers office then they should also punished. I congratulat the DK police for arresting the culprits.

      In the country you stay if similar case occurs do you still dare to do or encourage your chadis to do it. or do u even dare to write or comment anything siting in that country. my dear u will never even can express your in the country you live in. because there the system get respected well, but when its in India you have all your liberty to do what ever you wish and ready to take law in your hand. I am sure one day you guys will think twice even in india before taking the law in your own hands. Punish them to the maximum. also, find out the source of money flow that comes to these criminal pockets. Then everyone will respect the law and order of our country.

      "Their intention was to disturb communual harmony in the society and disturb law and order situation in the district". What a ill concieved motive. Send them to jail and extradite them after serving jail term. Enemies of peace and civilization. Unfit to live amongst us. Jungli people. Trouble mongers have no place in the society. Police should go deep into the case and arrest the mastermind behind such plans. Their photos need to be published. No remorse. Good work by the police.
