Mangaluru: A Facebook post claiming that “no government has survived after provoking Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat” has sparked outrage online, with many demanding legal action against the author for issuing an indirect threat that could disturb communal harmony.
The controversy follows the registration of a case against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat at Puttur Rural Police Station for an alleged hate speech delivered during the ‘Deepotsava’ event held at Uppaligadi, Puttur.
In the aftermath, a Facebook user named Vasanth Gilyar posted, “No government has survived after provoking Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat! I hear there’s pressure to arrest Bhattaru. The coastal region will turn fiery. It’s safer not to take the risk of testing his influence. Let coastal Karnataka remain peaceful.”
The post has drawn sharp criticism across social media, with users accusing Gilyar of issuing veiled threats and attempting to intimidate authorities.
One user, Divyath K. Poojary, commented, “People like him don’t respect women. I once attended his speech and walked out halfway. We have nothing to learn from those who preach hatred in the name of religion.”
Another user, Musthafa M F, rebuked Gilyar, saying, “What kind of journalist are you? Learn to respect the law. Do you even know what the Supreme Court has said? Anyone spreading religious hate should be arrested, including the organisers. No one is above the law.”
Yadava Kuntalapady wrote, “If someone is arrested, nothing will happen. If violence breaks out, those who incite it will be directly held responsible. We have honest police officers who will act accordingly.”
Meanwhile, Anand Kumar Halagere commented, “Don’t overthink. Let Hariprasad become Home Minister and watch what happens.”
A user named Sanatan Dharam warned Gilyar, saying, “This post may pose a risk for you for the inflammatory content! Try to modify the post.”
Another user, Prasanna Hegde, wrote provocatively, “If that is the intention of Naveen Soorinje, let it ignite once. Maybe then Hindus will wake up from their slumber.”
Others used the thread to issue further political and communal remarks. Shivappa Gowda referred to it as “Child Kharge’s advance farewell signal,” while Prakash K.T. suggested that if the government mishandled the case, sectors like transport, labour, healthcare, education, and hotels could teach the government a fitting lesson.
In a disturbing comment, Shashikanth B.C. wrote a direct threat mentioning, “First, finish off that boy Priyank. Jai Bhim.”

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
