Belthangady: A case has been registered in Belthangady after derogatory comments against Prophet Muhammad were allegedly posted in the comments section of a Facebook news report.

The report, published on the Facebook page of Vartha Bharati with the title “Belthangady | SIT Search Continues in Bangle Gudde Forest; Two More Skulls Found,” had received offensive responses from two users.

According to the complaint, a user operating under the account name “Sanatani Simha” posted a remark stating “one belongs to the Prophet and the other to Ayesha.” Following this, another user identified as Chetan Hoddetty repeated a similar comment.
