Court restricts sale of Rangayana director’s book ‘Tipu Nija Kanasugalu’
Bengaluru: As per the order of the court, issued on Monday, the sale of the book written by Addanda Cariappa, the director of Rangayana, about the life of Tipu Sultan, titled ‘Tipu Nija Kanasugalu’ has reportedly been temporarily restricted.
During the hearing of the petition submitted by B S Rafiullah concerning the case, the 14th Additional Civil and Sessions Court in the city is learned to have issued an order of objection placing temporary restrictions on the sale of the book, both in shops and social media until the next hearing.
The advocate representing the petitioner has argued that the book contains blatant false information with certain sections of the author’s writings having absolutely no substantial proof or reference.
“The author has entirely missed the mark on the sources of his reference and has not provided a single academic evidence to back the written claims in the book. Further, the book depicts the Azan in an insulting manner, while the author uses the derogatory word ‘Turkaru’ in it,” the lawyer argued.
If this book were to be released to the public, it may lead to disruption of peace. In this regard, the book must be withheld through an order of injunction, the advocate appealed.
A notice was issued to the author and the publisher of the book, before deferring the hearing.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.
Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.
According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.
During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.
On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.
Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.
Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).
The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
