Udupi, Feb 16, 2014 : The controversy that sparked up recently  following the arrest of Goraksha Dal leader Dinesh Mendon and a few others on the charges of robbing Yaseer, an accused in the case of uploading obscene photos of a girl on Facebook, has now taken a new twist.

 

Latest reports say that  a girl in Dubai, said to be Yaseer’s girl friend, had reportedly hired  seven men including Dinesh Mendon to  threaten  Yaseer who had an affair with another girl.

She, it is learnt also had transferred money to their accounts to carry out the act. Accordingly, the seven, identified as Dinesh Mendon, Ritesh Soans of Atrady, Sandeep Parkala, Manoj, , Ratan, Pranesh and  Putta an auto driver, reportedly robbed Yaseer  of his bike and mobile phone after taking him to a deserted area at Hebri on January 7. Sources say Yaseer was escorted to the place by one Mohammad Hani, an acquaintance.

It is also learnt that the seven later also robbed another bike of Yaseer from his house at Katapady. They had also reportedly tried to blackmail him showing him the obscene photographs and had demanded Rs 2 lakh.

It was two days later that Yaseer had lodged a complaint against the assailants on January 9. In another development which took place on January 10, police arrested Yaseer for uploading obscene photos on Facebook.

 A week ago, police arrested five of the seven accused including Mendon on the charges of  robbing  Yaseer. It was this issue which is now raging and even resulted in a protest by Hindu activists which turned violent on February 15, Saturday.

Here it is worth mentioning that while arresting Yaseer on January 10, police had alleged that he had colluded with his Dubai girl friend while uploading obscene photos on FB.

Investigations are underway.
