Bengaluru, Aug 13: Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP) R K Dutta on Saturday August 12, informed that a report on Bantwal disturbances has been submitted to the government.

“The chief minister had instructed me to visit the places of disturbances in Bantwal taluk and submit the report. I stayed there for two days and collected relevant information. The preliminary reasons which incited the disturbances have been listed in the report. The measures need to be implemented, in case of future disturbances, also have been included in the report,” Dutta said.

“We have valuable information relating to the cases of Sharath Madiwala, Mohammed Ashraf Kulai and Harish Poojary. There are some similarities between the murder of Sharath Madiwala and the recent murders of Hindu activists in Kerala. Our police teams have visited many states including Kerala in connection with the murders in Bantwal taluk. We will arrest all the culprits very soon,” Dutta added.

Not communal

The disturbances and murders were of not communal nature. These were preplanned criminal activities of personal nature. But some vested interests gave it a communal colour. We will take action against those people who instigated the incidents,” Dutta concluded.
