Bantwal : A day after a school in Dakshina Kannada district’s Kalladka village enacted Babri demolition and proposed construction of a Ram temple during its annual sports day event, police on Monday registered a case against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and four others on charges of hurting religious sentiments of a community.

Students of Sri Rama Vidya Kendra at Kalladka, 30km from Mangaluru, re-created events surrounding the Ram Janmabhoomi controversy on Sunday, which won praise from Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi. Union minister DV Sadananda Gowda and Karnataka minister Shashikala Jolle, among others, watched the event along with Bedi and Kalladka Bhat, who runs the institution.

Bantwal Town police filed the case following a complaint from Abubakkar Siddiq, 42, a member of the Popular Front of India, naming Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, president, Vivekananda Vidhyavardhaka Sangha; school president Narayana Somayaji, member, headmaster and its coordinator.

Dakshina Kannada superintendent of police BM Laxmi Prasad told TOI that the case has been booked under two IPC Sections: 295 (a) (deliberate act to outrage religious feelings) and 298 (uttering words that wound religious feelings).
