ಈ ಘಟನೆ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ಬುದ್ದಿ ಜೀವಿಗಳು, ಸ್ವಘೋಷಿತ ಮಾನವ ಹಕ್ಕು ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರು, ಎಡ ಕ್ಕೆ ಒಲುವ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮ ಮಿತ್ರರು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಂತಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಸ್ಟೇಟಸ್ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆನೋ. ಒಂದು ದೃಶ್ಯ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮದ ತಂಡಈ ಧಾಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗಿಯಾದದ್ದು ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ವಿಶೇಷ!

Media Scan! Selection from the press/ net on this issue

Kannada newspapers report: Vulgar dance was in progress during the attack

English Media:Blame Kannada Organizations! "local Kannada organisation were behind the attack. They demand Rs 20,000 during Rajyotsava and Ganesha festivals. This time we flatly refused", Parking, loud music and the perennial clogging of the narrow lane by partygoers was a major issue. Police complaint had been filed in 2006 about the loud music and obscene behaviour of guests, Attack led by women!, Karnataka safe for women travellers, but beware of the media

The Final Word: The food is bad, parking not available, expensive...how come the place is still crowded?

Who sold this photo to Outlook?

(Feb 9,2009 issue),

Who is now blackmailing the families of these "victims" of Mangalore pub "attack"? using this photograph??

(photo courtesy: outlook)

Was it all pre planned with the involvement of the accused/"victims"/mediamen...all for media hype?

If not, why no complaint has been lodged by the "victims",

neither with police nor with NCW?

If the girls feel they were not doing anything wrong why are they afraid to come forward and give a statement?

Police have done what they could do under the circumstances. They have arrested the culprits and IGP has kept us informed about the steps they have taken in this regard.
