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.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
