Mangaluru: Case registered over protest messages circulated on WhatsApp without permission
Mangaluru (PTI): A case has been registered against individuals who allegedly circulated WhatsApp messages about a protest meeting in Bantwal, despite denying permission for the event, police said on Friday.
Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) member Ashraf Talapady and two others had sought permission to use loudspeakers and make security arrangements for a protest over the alleged murder cases of Abdul Rahiman and Ashraf, a native of Wayanad.
However, the Bantwal Town Police rejected the request after the applicants reportedly admitted they had no concrete information, evidence, or family petitions regarding government compensation or the alleged conspirators in either case.
Police also pointed out that FIRs have already been registered and investigations are underway.
The applicants were advised to approach the investigating officers and the authorities concerned through proper legal channels.
Despite this, some individuals allegedly circulated digital posters about the protest on WhatsApp, prompting police to register a fresh case. Further legal action is being initiated, police added.
Abdul Rahiman (32) was killed in Kuryal village under Bantwal Rural Police Station limits on May 27, with three arrests made in connection with the case.
In a separate incident on April 27, Ashraf, a native of Wayanad, was allegedly lynched after reportedly shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad' during a local cricket match.

Death sentence of Nimisha Priya likely to be revoked; Mediation talks in Yemen make progress
Kozhikode: There are strong indications that Nimisha Priya’s death sentence in Yemen may be revoked following significant progress in recent mediation talks. According to mediators, the family of the deceased Yemeni national Talal, who was killed, has agreed in principle to pardon Nimisha.
A press release from the office of Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar stated that some crucial decisions have been taken in the case. The developments follow high-level negotiations involving a delegation of Yemeni scholars appointed by Habib Umar bin Hafiz, a prominent scholar from Tarim, along with officials from northern Yemen and international diplomatic representatives.
Further discussions with Talal’s family are expected to finalise the terms, especially concerning compensation and legal formalities.
It may be recalled that Nimisha was scheduled to be executed on July 16. However, following the intervention of Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar, the execution was temporarily postponed on July 15.
