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.

Elsewhere, Ukrainian forces hit a Russian warship and other facilities with drones, Ukraine's General Staff said in a statement on Saturday.

The nighttime attack on Friday hit the Russian warship “Okhotnik,” according to the statement posted to the Telegram messaging app.

The ship was patrolling in the Caspian Sea near an oil and gas production platform. The extent of the damage is still being clarified, the statement added.

A drilling platform at the Filanovsky oil and gas field in the Caspian Sea was also hit. The facility is operated by Russian oil giant Lukoil. Ukrainian drones also struck a radar system in the Krasnosilske area of Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
