Puttur: A video depicting students at Vivekananda College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Autonomous) in Puttur reenacting the 'Babri Masjid demolition' during their annual day event has been circulating widely on Instagram. The viral clip, which has since been removed, attracted numerous comments, including some expressing support for the act with phrases like "Jai Sriram."

In the video, student participants are seen wearing RSS shorts, saffron attire, and portraying scenes reminiscent of both the Ram Mandir and a mosque, as reported by nanugauri.com. The controversial clip allegedly depicted the Muslim rulers destroying the temple, with RSS workers sacrificing their lives to protect it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's character performing Homa Havan was also part of the skit.

According to nanugauri.com, no action has been taken against this portrayal, which is seen as propagating communal hatred among young minds. Local website 'Puttur suddiNews.com' confirmed that the college annual day event took place recently.

This incident echoes a similar occurrence at an educational institution associated with RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat. A case was registered following a complaint filed at the Bantwal city police station when a mock performance of the Babri Masjid demolition was staged during the annual sports day at Shri Ram School in Kalladka.

During the performance at Shri Ram School, students fervently tore down a replica of the Babri Masjid while chanting slogans such as "Jai Shri Ram" and "Bharat Mata ki Jai." Abubakar Siddique of the PFI organization lodged a complaint at the Bantwal police station after the video of the reenactment went viral.

Four individuals, including RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, were named in the case.

Sultanpur (PTI): A debt-ridden neighbour allegedly kidnapped and murdered an 11-year-old boy boy at Sultanpur, police said on Wednesday.

The accused, Asif alias Sonu, demanded a ransom of Rs 5,00,000 for releasing Osama alias Sahil to repay his debts, Kotwali police station SHO Naradmuni Singh said.

"The incident took place in the Gandhinagar locality of Sultanpur. The victim's father, Mohd Shakeel, said his son went missing on Monday night after he left to attend a wedding procession. Despite searches, there was no trace of the child," the SHO said.

On Wednesday morning, Osama's body with strangulation marks was found at the residence of the accused whom the police arrested, he said.

Asif, who lives in the same neighbourhood as the victim, exploited the trust built between the two families to carry out the crime, the officer said.

The killing of the minor boy has triggered outrage in the area with the residents demanding stringent punishment for the accused.

The victim's family has called for death penalty for Asif.
