Mangaluru: A case has been lodged at the city’s Bunder police station for allegedly circulating derogatory messages targeting Speaker UT Khader, CM Siddaramaiah, the Congress party and the Karnataka Police in a Whatsapp group called ‘Pirsa Eppolu Ikkatt.”
An individual identified as Ashraf Kinara Kudroli allegedly posted a message in the Whatsapp group, which read, “Breaking... Now there is another police raid in Sajipa and Pavoor... The police are seizing the cows that were to be offered to Allah for offering sacrifice. If you ask me, it is as per the government's orders... Muslims should collectively heat up the Congress government that is breathing in the votes of Muslims.”
In another 57-second video message, it is alleged that a song critical of the Congress party and the government has been created and circulated in the Beary language. The video reportedly features edited photos of Legislative Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, along with the text: “Singer: Dastageer, Lyrics: Saraf Vitla.” In the video, the person is heard saying, “I am Khaderkar, a fan of Savarkar, Alakka Poyitalle…”
