    Kudos to Police Officials for this raid. You should have showed all faces who were involved in this crime, why hide their identity? Let public know the bitter fact. Unfortunate for family members of these people, who spend money in gambling. How I wish this amount was spent for benefit of their family members to live a better life.!!
    such surprise raids will uncover many hubs which carry out illegal activities. It is unfair to start blame game with Govt and politicizing the issue. It is important that we curb these activities for a peaceful Mangalore . We hope to get our Original Mangalore, Namma Kudla back to us..!!

    Are such activities not taking place in most of the well-known clubs in Mangalore? May be the members are Big shot and police have to think twice before raiding. We need police to give surprise raid over to such places and may be cores of bet money can be seized.

    The police have done a good job. Action needs to be taken on gambling clubs that are open late night till 1.00 a.m. I understand that the men are not forced to stay at the club until it closes, but this late timing is like God sent for those who are addicted and will stay at the club to the very end. It is the poor families that suffer the consequences in terms of money and time spent with the family. I think the Govt. should look into this matter and have the places closed down at a decent time.

    in the movie, ship of Theseus, one character asks the another, what is the difference between a terrorist and a fasting to death sadhu, as both are bent on destruction one of the society and other of his body.
    why did the police have to make a parade of accused in front of the media? do they do this when they attack naxal posts?

    Isspit clubs are running all over the district even in villages, but they put the board as Sports & Recreation Club with just few Carom Boards and Police dept is fully aware of this. I overheard a following conversation in a bus few months back between two ladies (ತುಳುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆ ) .
    1st Lady: ನನ್ನ ಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಮದುವೆ ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಯಿತು.
    2nd Lady: ಹೌದಾ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಾಯಿತು, ಹುಡುಗ ಏನು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ ?
    1st Lady: ಅವನಿಗೆ ಬಜಪೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಸ್ಪೀಟ್ ಕ್ಲಬ್ಬು ಇದೆ, ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಸಂಪಾದನೆಯಿದೆ, ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಕುಟುಂಬ.

    I feel very sorry for family members.

    Grand mother, mother, wife and children's are thinking my father is getting very small salary.

    poor family member ur wrong.
    ur father getting good salary, but spending more money for gambling, and less money for house expenses.


    dear court pls. give 6 month punishment for all the gambler, to sit in front of Govt. hospital, let them see what is the emergency case.

    in the hospital doctors and nurse are trying to save life to others ?

    No Political HAND to Protect this gambling Den, that is why Police dared to raid this Den.
    Before raiding any where the Police first collect information as to who is the political Godfather to that particular Criminal Activity . Police raid only after they are fully satisfied that no politicians is involved in protecting such Criminal activity.
    This is an 'Unwritten Rule ' in the books of Police dept all over India.
