RSS Leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat booked under non-bailable sections over controversial remarks
Mandya: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat has been booked by the Mandya Police under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) following a complaint filed by Najma Nazeer, a local social worker.
The complaint stems from Bhat's controversial remarks made during the 'Sankeerthana Yatra' held as part of Hanuman Jayanti celebrations at Srirangapatna taluk, Mandya district, on Sunday, December 24.
Bhat's statements lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and its actions, particularly the criminalization of the practice of triple talaq. He asserted that Muslim women were granted "permanent husbands" by criminalizing triple talaq, claiming that before this intervention, Muslim women did not have stable marriages. Bhat's remarks drew attention to the 2019 parliamentary approval of a Bill that criminalized the Muslim practice of instant divorce.

Addressing the hijab ban issue in educational institutions, Bhat warned against withdrawing the ban and challenged Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, questioning his authority to lift the ban. He also issued threats and challenges to a Muslim student, Muskan Khan, who had defended wearing hijab in educational institutions earlier in the year.
In his statements, Bhat emphasized the importance of Hindu population growth, expressing concerns about Hindus becoming a minority. He suggested that if the trend continued, there would be chants of "Pakistan Zindabad."
The Mandya Police filed a case against Bhat under sections 354, 295, 509, 506, 153(A), 295, 295(A), and 298 of the IPC based on the complaint filed by social worker Najma Nazeer.

Man thrown 50 ft into air as powerful storm lashes UP's Bareilly
Bareilly (PTI): In a shocking incident, a man was flung nearly 50 ft into the air along with a tin roof and thrown into a field during a powerful storm in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, where the adverse weather claimed at least four lives.
The man in the video, Nanhe Mian of Bamiyana village, suffered multiple injuries in the incident that occurred on Wednesday.
In a video of the incident doing the rounds on social media, the man is seen being launched into the air while he is holding onto the tin roof. He then lets go, does a somersault in the air and lands in the adjacent field.
Initially, some social media users expressed disbelief over the video and suspected that it was generated using artificial intelligence. But for Nanhe, an e-rickshaw driver, it is all too real.
Nanhe, around 50 years old, said on Thursday that he had gone to a wedding hall to collect some items when the storm intensified.
"The wind was so strong that the tin shed started making loud noises. I thought if I did not hold onto it, it would be blown away in the storm. So, I immediately grabbed a rope tied to the shed," he said.
"Then a very strong gust came and lifted both the shed and me into the air. I was carried nearly 50 ft into the air before the storm weakened and I fell to the ground," he said.
Nanhe, who lives with his wife and their five children, said he suffered injuries on his head, back, arms and legs. These include a fractured arm and leg.
Bareilly Police said in a statement that Nahne was standing inside the wedding hall in Bamiyana when strong winds and rain tore the tin roof of the structure.
According to the Uttar Pradesh government, at least 89 people were killed and around 50 injured in storm and rain-related incidents across the state on Wednesday.
Several animals were also killed and houses and shops were damaged in many places.
In Bareilly, four people were killed between 8.30 am and 11.30 pm on Wednesday, nine animals perished and around 30 houses suffered heavy damage, officials said.
