Bengaluru (PTI): With a video purportedly describing Kavalande in Nanjangud taluk of Mysuru district as "Chota Pakistan" going viral on social media and triggering outrage, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday said he will ask the Superintendent of Police there to look into the matter and take necessary action.
The video that is said to have been shot on Eid-Ul-Fitr, which was on Tuesday, shows a large group of Muslim men, probably returning or standing on the road side after offering prayers.
They can be heard shouting "Naara E Takbeer Allahu Akbar", then police and some people can be seen asking the crowd to disperse.
Following this, the person recording the video can be heard saying, "...look at the gathering at our village", to which another person probably with him can be heard saying "Yeh bi Pakistan hain, Chota" (this is mini Pakistan). Then, the person recording the video says "Kavalande bhole tho Chota Pakistan, theek hain" (Kavalande means mini Pakistan).
"I will speak to the SP, to look into it and take action," Bommai told reporters here in response to a question about the incident.

Indore, May 10 (PTI): The Holkar Stadium in Indore received a bomb blast threat, with the unidentified sender of an e-mail warning of retaliation in response to Operation Sindoor, police said on Saturday.
The threat turned out to be a hoax.
"MPCA's (Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association) official email (ID) on Friday received a threatening message. The email, written in English, mentions that the stadium will be blasted due to 'Operation Sindoor' (of Indian armed forces)," Tukoganj police station in-charge Jitendra Singh Yadav told PTI.
After being alerted by MPCA, four teams of police personnel and a bomb squad thoroughly searched the stadium's premises for five hours.
"No suspicious thing was found in the Holkar stadium," Yadav said.
Police are trying to trace the origin of the hoax e-mail in collaboration with the cyber squad, and legal action will be taken.
Prima facie, the email seems a "copy-paste" job for mischief, although the police are investigating various aspects, an officer said.
The officer said that in the past months, fake emails threatening to bomb Indore airport, bank branches, hospitals, and schools have been received.
He said an accused has been arrested in one case.
