Bengaluru: Man arrested for “Kill DK Brothers” comment on Facebook
Bengaluru: Jayanagar Police have arrested an individual, identified as Ranjith RM, for posting derogatory and inciting remarks on Facebook against Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and his brother Bengaluru Rural Lok Sabha MP DK Suresh.
The accused also made inflammatory comments against the Congress party and the Muslim community.
Despite claiming to work as a 'cybercrime detective at the police department' on his Facebook profile, it was later discovered that Ranjith is employed by a private company in the city.
The objectionable comments, including a post on October 4 urging to 'Kill DK brothers,' prompted Jayanagar Youth Congress leader Sharath to file a complaint with the police. The authorities launched a manhunt, leading to the arrest of Ranjith.
In a prior post on October 27, Ranjith had shared an image of DK Suresh adorned with a garland of peacock feathers, questioning why no action had been taken against the Congress leader. This post followed the arrest of Bigg Boss contestant Varthur Santhosh by the forest department for wearing a pendant made from tiger claws.
The police have registered a case and are interrogating Ranjith to ascertain the motive behind his inflammatory social media posts.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
