Udupi, Nov 17: The Cyber, Economic and Narcotic (CEN) crime police in Udupi have registered a case against a youth who posted a perverse comment on Instagram, glorifying the main accused in the Udupi murder case.

The post describes Praveen Chowgale, the accused, as a man who has set a record by killing four people belonging to a community within 15 minutes, police sources said.

The Instagram post in the Tulu language also carries a morphed picture of Chowgale with a crown on his head.

The Udupi CEN police who came across the post immediately swung into action and registered a cyber complaint under IT Act Section 66 and Section 505 (2) of IPC, the sources said.

New Delhi: The Congress party has stood by Pawan Khera, the Chairman of the party’s Media and Publicity Department, expressing confidence that regardless of hurdles like politics of threat and intimidation, justice would emerge victorious.

Khera was denied anticipatory bail by the Gauhati High Court on Friday in the case filed against him by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma for alleging that she possessed not only multiple passports but also undisclosed properties abroad.

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said in a post in Hindi on his ‘X’ account, “The entire Indian National Congress stands in solidarity with Pawan Khera, the Chairman of its Media and Publicity Department. The process to challenge the Gauhati High Court’s decision in the Supreme Court is underway.” In the post, which he put up on Friday, Ramesh has added, “We are confident that justice will prevail over the politics of threats, intimidation, and harassment.”

Bhuyan Sarma has lodged also an FIR seeking legal action against Pawan Khera for his allegations that she possesses passports of three countries and owns a company in the US, which had invested Rs. 50,000 crores. She has filed criminal cases against the Congress leader at the Guwahati Crime Branch Police Station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
