Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP General Secretary and Minister in newly formed cabinet of CM Yediyurappa on Wednesday criticised former Union Home Minister and Finance Minister P Chidambaram after his arrest adding that he was hiding in his house in New Delhi to gain sympathy, evading arrest by CBI and ED.

Ravi in a tweet also called Chidambaram ‘Crook who as Union Home Minister coined “Hindu Terror”.

“This Crook who as Union Home Minister coined "Hindu Terror" is holed up like a Petty Thief” Ravi wrote in the tweet.

“In a scene straight out from a movie, @INCIndia leader @PChidambaram_IN is creating a scene to gain sympathy by hiding in his house in New Delhi” he added while also writing ‘What goes around comes around’ in the tweet.

Twitterati however did not take the tweet lightly and schooled the new minister for posting the tweet. A few of the users stressed Ravi to concentrate on his role as the minister of the state and not indulge in such controversies, while others recalled hit and run accident case involving his car to remind him of his cases that are still pending.

One of the users called Ravi as ‘Crook’ adding that he was a cabinet minister behaving like BJP’s IT Cell troll.

Another user commented “Sir, Do you need this tweet? Is it part of your job description? Is it not the job of BJP high command? Please stay away from unnecessary national issues. Concentrate on your district and your ministry work. Thousands are in relief centres of Mudigere. Solve their problems”.

Here are the few replies of the twitterati on Ravi’s tweet:

New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.

The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.

The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.

The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.

"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.

On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.

Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.

"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.

Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.

During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.

The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.

Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.

Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.

A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.

Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.

"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.

Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
