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.
