Karnataka Govt. instigated Hindu Muslim Riot in Tipu Jayanti. One VHP activist died and several injured.
The unseen sword of Tipu Sultan killed another Hindu in Madikeri….
Serious Hindu Muslim Riots over Congressi Tipu Jayanti celebrations in Madikeri town of Karnataka. One VHP worker dies and three seriously injured due to Police lathicharge.
HENB | Bengaluru | Nov 10, 2015:: It’s a Black Diwali for the Hindus of Madikeri in Karnataka. State obstinacy and police excesses for celebrating birth anniversary of Tipu Sultan snatched away a Hindu life. A Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) activist died and several others, including policemen, were injured as violence broke out in Madikeri town of Karnataka on Tuesday over celebrations to mark the birth anniversary of 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan.
Police used teargas and batons to disperse hundreds of people following clashes between opponents and supporters of the celebrations. Officials said the VHP activist suffered head injuries and died instantly.
The activist identified as D. S. Kutappa, 50, suffered head injuries during stone throwing when the pro-Tipu Sultan group and Hindutva activists clashed at the Thimmaiah circle in the centre of Madikeri town on Tuesday morning. He was injured in clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups died in the Madikeri Government Hospital as ‘brought dead’. Some says Kutappa was a victim of Muslim’s stone pelting, some says he had a head injury under police chasing and thrashing, police says he was injured while jumping a wall within the Hospital complex being frightened with police lathicharge!

Madikeri is part of Kodagu district, about 250km from Bengaluru, which has been tense for the past few days over the state government’s plans to celebrate the 266th birth anniversary of Tipu Sultan. The VHP, RSS, Bajrang Dal and BJP have organised dozens of protests in Kodagu and other parts of Karnataka in the past few weeks.
…
Several organizations including VHP had called for a bandh to protest the government-sponsored Tipu Sultan Jayanti celebrations on Tuesday.
Kodagu’s Superintendent of Police Varthila Katiyar told reporters that VHP activist DS Kuttappa died after he fell from the roof of a multi-storey hospital. It cannot be said at this point if the man was pushed over, she added.
“He did not die in stone pelting. When protests in Madikeri got out of hand, the Kodagu police lathicharged. To avoid police action, Kutappa ran inside the hospital compound. He tried to jump the wall, that is when he fell down and sustained serious injuries. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to injuries,” Kodagu SP said.
Kuttappa died even as riots were breaking out in the streets below, Katiyar said.
Bajrang Dal leader Suryanarayana blamed Muslim groups supporting the state government’s Tipu Jayanti celebrations for the violence and Kutappa’s death. Kutappa was the Organising Secretary of VHP of Kodagu district and was a prime target by the anti Hindu groups and police for his pro Hindutva activities.
The statewide celebrations for Tipu Sultan’s birth anniversary are being held for the first time by the government. Several groups allied to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have opposed the events, describing Tipu Sultan as a “religious bigot” who tormented Hindus.

The decision by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanthi on November 10 has been marked by warnings of protests by Hindutva groups led by the BJP and the RSS. While the state government is facilitating the organisation of processions and public meetings to mark the occasion the BJP and RSS have warned of disruption of these meetings.
