Mangaluru: VHP workers detained from outside fmr MLA Idinabba’s house

Mangaluru: Mangaluru division president of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Sharan Pumpwell and other workers of the religious body were detained by police on Tuesday after they attempted to organise a protest outside the house of former MLA BM Idinabba.

The protest was organised based on recent revelations that Idinabba’s family members had joined the terrorist group Islamic State or ISIS.

The National Investigation Agency had last week raided the house of Idinabba’s son here on a case related to an ISIS module in Kerala.

It was also reported that Idinabba’s grandaughter along with her husband had joined ISIS five years ago and his daughter-in-law was posting and promoting ISIS in her social media posts.
