Around 25 to 30 people, including a few of those from the Bajrang Dal, are at risk of being banished from the Dakshina Kannada region in Karnataka due to criminal cases registered against them. These people were served externment notices for their alleged involvement in cases, including communal rioting, moral policing and attempt to murder.

Their names have been referred to the Dakshina Kannada’s Executive Magistrate recommending their removal from the area. The move has drawn criticism from former Karnataka BJP chief and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel.

Kateel vowed to prevent any of these individuals from being banished from the Dakshina Kannada region at any cost. He said that “hate politics” was going on in Karnataka.
