June 4th, 2011 Bangalore.
From Bharatarshabha Dasa, Head Public Relations, ISKCON SRI RADHA KRISHNA TEMPLE, Hare Krishna Hill, West of Chord Road, Rajajinagar, Bangalore.
To The Station House Officer, Subramanyanagar Police Station, Bangalore I am a devotee of ISKCON Bangalore. We had received information from the press that our Temple was going to be attacked by ISKCON Mumbai. In accordance with this press information, me and other devotees were standing in front of our Temple, to defend our temple from any such attack.
At around 06.00 P.M, a group of vehicles, about ten in number came in a convoy, to our temple.
The group was led by Dayaram Das, Varada Krishna Das, Anukul Kesava, Murali Shyam and some unidentified persons, were there in the group. I was assaulted and physically manhandled by Anukul Kesava dasa(aka Ashok Kumar Gupta), during this time, and I was showered with abuses by the said person. I saw the above persons come in the following cars KA 03MK 2026 Honda Accord(brownish gold colour), AP 05BA5042(white Maruthi Versa or Ecco not sure) and KA 01 MD 1506- spark Chevrolet.
I was also shoved and pushed around by a person, who was accompanying the group, and whom I can identify, if shown to me.
I have been threatened by these people very badly, and I am now in fear for my life and safety.
I have suffered minor injuries to my body also.
Kindly register a case against the said persons, for coming to our temple to incite communal violence, and creating a scene.
Thanking you, Bharatarshabha Dasa, Head Public Relations, ISKCON Bangalore.
