Mangaluru: “The law will deal firmly with rowdyism”, said Home Minister K.J. George while speaking on the recent moral policing attacks – during his visit to the city on Monday, September 7.
George said that he has issued clear instructions to the police to take stringent action, including opening of rowdy sheets from the district.
Speaking on the rise of communal issues, George said, “Normally, the government does not interfere once the cases are handed over to the CID. But as a special case, I would review the progress of the cases in the district.”
However, it is has been reported that at least 12 cases have been handed over to the CID from the district during the last two years and charge-sheets have not been filed in any of them yet.
Meanwhile, on the progress of investigation of the murder of research scholar M.M. Kalburgi, George said that the government has decided to hand over the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The case appears to have inter-State ramifications and hence the decision, he explained.
