Mangaluru:  SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe urged the state government to dismiss Commissioner of Police Dr P S Harsha, DCP (Law and Order) Arunangshu Giri and Inspector Shantharam Kunder, who were responsible for taking lives of two innocents in police firing, on December 19.

Speaking to reporters, he said, “The SDPI will fight till we get justice. The atrocity of the police should be condemned.”

“The police fired at innocents purposefully during the protest. The entire episode has instilled fear in the minds of the people. The police had even resorted to lathi-charge inside the hospital,” he alleged.

He said that the SDPI will approach the court seeking justice for the innocent victims.
