Dalit activists arrested during Jaya trial

Bangalore, Oct 20 : Nearly 50 Dalit activists, representing Samata
Sainik Dal, were arrested today when they tried to hold a black flag
demonstration during the visit of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J
Jayalalithaa to Central Jail premises here in connection with the
recording of her statement in the Rs 66-crore dispropotionate asset
case.

Soon after the protest, police, who were present in very large
numbers, promulgated a ban order Under Section 144 Crpc. The Dalit
activists were protesting the killing of eight dalits in Paramakudi in
Southern Tamil Nadu last month allegedly by the police. Meanwhile,
speaking to reporters, Bangalore City Commissioner of Police Jyothi
Prakash Mirji said the elaborate security arrangements were made
mainly with a view of a very large crowd expected to come near the
Parappana Agrahara jail, however, they did not.

When asked whether the police would ensure security to Ms Jayalalithaa
if the court proceeding spilled over to tomorrow, the official said
police was ready to provide security to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
for a number of days. He said exccepting the Judge, the accused and
the Counsels, nobody else was allowed inside the court hall. Even I
did not go inside the court room'' Mr Mirji said.

When asked on the blanket security cover by police numbering over
1,500 including 500 from Tamil Nadu, he said we do not want the court
proceeding be hampered in any manner. This has been our focus."
