Excerpts: A judicial commission of inquiry set up to probe a series of attacks on churches in Karnataka in September 2008 has in an interim report dated February 1 said that detailed examination of the incidents point to the involvement of Bajrang Dal, Sree Rama Sene and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
The interim report of the Justice B K Somashekhara Commission also says that it has got the impression “that the top police officers and the district administration and other authorities colluded with members of the Bajrang Dal and Sree Rama Sene directly or indirectly in attacking the churches or places of worship”. Mangalore, the Dakshina Kannada district, Udupi, Chikamagalur, Davangere, Bellary, Dharwad, Bangalore and Chikaballapur are areas where these right wing outfits were responsible for attacks, says the commission. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/church-attacks-panel-blames-right-wing-outfits/575134/
