After alleging Bluru youth was killed for not speaking Urdu, Karnataka Home Minister apologise
Bengaluru: Concerning the murder of a youngster named Chandru which had occurred at Goripalya in Bengaluru, the statement issued by Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has invited fresh controversy in the state. The Minister had issued a statement claiming that the murder had occurred because the victim could not speak Urdu and later sought an apology for his statement.
Reportedly, in the aftermath of a bike accident, a fight has broken out between both parties which had ended in the murder of one youth. However, the Minister of Home Affairs had made a provocative statement at the BJP office in Bengaluru saying that the deceased Dalit victim named Chandru had been murdered because he could not speak Urdu. Following his statement, C.T Ravi had also issued a flagrant statement that “if the murder has occurred because of Kannada, then all of them must be chased to Pakistan”, he had said.
However, the police have denied the claims made by the BJP leaders and revealed that the murder had occurred following a verbal altercation between both parties after a bike accident. Concerning the incident, the police have arrested Shahid Pasha (21), Shahid Goli (22), and another minor, it is learned.
Now, the Minister of Home Affairs has withdrawn his statement and said, “Based on the information I received first, without making any unbiased investigation, I have said that statement is haste which is my mistake. I had immediately stated the information that was revealed to me in front of the media. Now I have received detailed information”, he clarified.
“In the fight that broke out after the bike accident, Chandru was stabbed. While being taken to the hospital, he passed away due to excessive bleeding. The statement which I issued earlier was wrong”, Minister Araga Jnanendra said.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
