Selective Reporting? Right-wing portal omits names of all accused in Suhas Shetty murder reporting
Mangaluru: Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair has accused right-wing website OpIndia of selectively naming only a few of the accused arrested in the murder case of rowdy-sheeter Suhas Shetty, while deliberately omitting the names of Hindu accused from their report.
In a tweet posted after police revealed the full list of those arrested, Zubair pointed out that OpIndia's tweet mentioned only Muslim names—Abdul Safwan, Mohammed Muzammil, and Mohammed Rizwan—while leaving out Ranjit and Nagaraj, who also face charges in the same case.
According to the police, a total of eight people have been arrested: Abdul Safwan, Niyaz, Mohammed Muzammil, Kalandar Shafi, Mohammed Rizwan, Adil Mahroof, Ranjit, and Nagaraj. Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal has confirmed that the murder was a result of a personal rivalry and revenge plot. Safwan, the main accused, allegedly feared that Suhas Shetty's gang would kill him, prompting him to plan the murder.
Zubair alleged that by leaving out the names of Ranjit and Nagaraj—both of whom are non-Muslims—OpIndia was attempting to maintain a narrative that the murder was religiously motivated. This goes against the facts presented by police, which made it clear that the incident was not communal in nature but a gang-related revenge killing.
Earlier, several right-wing handles on social media had claimed that Suhas Shetty was targeted because of his religious identity, using the murder to attack the Congress-led state government and alleging that Hindus were unsafe in Karnataka. The BJP too had demanded an NIA probe, calling the murder an act of terror carried out by "Jihadis."
RW propaganda website @OpIndia_com intentionally doesn't mention names of other accused arrested after the murder of Rowdy-sheeter because the complete list of accused includes Ranjit & Nagaraj apart from Abdul Safwan, Niyaz, Mohammed Muzammil, Kalandar Shafi, Mohammed Rizwan,… pic.twitter.com/JmdcaxtP2H
