Bengaluru: Man arrested for “Kill DK Brothers” comment on Facebook
Bengaluru: Jayanagar Police have arrested an individual, identified as Ranjith RM, for posting derogatory and inciting remarks on Facebook against Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and his brother Bengaluru Rural Lok Sabha MP DK Suresh.
The accused also made inflammatory comments against the Congress party and the Muslim community.
Despite claiming to work as a 'cybercrime detective at the police department' on his Facebook profile, it was later discovered that Ranjith is employed by a private company in the city.
The objectionable comments, including a post on October 4 urging to 'Kill DK brothers,' prompted Jayanagar Youth Congress leader Sharath to file a complaint with the police. The authorities launched a manhunt, leading to the arrest of Ranjith.
In a prior post on October 27, Ranjith had shared an image of DK Suresh adorned with a garland of peacock feathers, questioning why no action had been taken against the Congress leader. This post followed the arrest of Bigg Boss contestant Varthur Santhosh by the forest department for wearing a pendant made from tiger claws.
The police have registered a case and are interrogating Ranjith to ascertain the motive behind his inflammatory social media posts.

Stalin claims DMK secured 1.54 crore votes
Chennai (PTI): DMK president M K Stalin on Tuesday, in a veiled reference to the TVK, claimed that the party that won additional constituencies has gained only 17.43 lakh more votes than the DMK.
He was referring to the April 23 Assembly polls where the DMK and its allies secured 74 seats, with the Dravidian party netting 59 constituencies.
In a statement, Stalin said, "the percentage difference in votes between us and them is just 3.52 per cent," in an apparent reference to the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kahzagam emerged victorious in the polls, the results of which were announced on Monday.
Claiming that the DMK alliance has secured 1.54 crore votes, Stalin said, "I consider each and every one of your votes as an invaluable token of trust".
Stating that DMK has been in power several times, he said "there is no victory we have not seen and there is no defeat we have not faced".
"Whether in victory or defeat, those who regard them equally and continue their journey toward their ideals are the comrades of the party", he said adding "you are the lifeblood and roots of the movement".
"The harvest of 1.54 crore votes is the fruit of your commitment", he said.
"What return can I offer for your hard work? With the feeling of being the chief worker, we will continue our journey," the DMK chief added.
Stalin said "if we are the ruling party, we will formulate schemes for the people. If we are the opposition party, we will fight for the people's demands. In that regard, now as a strong opposition party, we will continue to work for the people".
Asserting that the DMK will continue the journey of taking forward the policies of the century-old great Dravidian movement, protecting race, language, and nation, the DMK leader said "in our journey, I will not leave anyone behind. We will win again".
