DCP Bheemshanker Guled chastises reporters for giving communal colour to a case of personal enmity
“Despite detailed clarifications issued in the morning, will you still write whatever you want?”
Bengaluru: The city’s Eastern Division DCP Bheemshanker Guled took the representatives of certain Kannada media channels to task for trying to paint a communal picture concerning the case of personal enmity in which the accused had conspired to place blame on another person for a misdeed done by the former.
Reportedly, a man identified as Fayaz Ullah had sold a house for Rs 35 lakhs, and a person named Azeemullah had brokered the deal. Later, Fayaz Ullah had put forth a demand seeking Rs 40 lakhs, resulting in enmity between the two individuals. Thereafter, Fayaz Ullah conspired to trap Azeemullah in a riot case and laid out a plan in this regard. The accused in this case identified as Syed Asgar, Fayaz Ullah, and Munawar were later arrested by the Honnur station police.
Amid this, certain Kannada media channels had broadcasted programs giving a communal angle to the case, and DCP Bheemshanker Guled took the concerned media representatives to task for communalizing the issue during a press conference clarifying the details of the case.
“Fayaz Ullah paid Syed Asgar to carry out this misdeed. It is true that a petrol bomb was prepared, but it was prepared as a plan to place guilt on an innocent party. However, the claim about conspiracies to murder and destroy a temple is all fake news. Although I clarified this in the morning, you will still go ahead and write whatever you want? Won’t it create unrest in society when you write that the deed was done by a Muslim person? Will you write whatever nonsense you want?” the DCP chastised the media representatives.
While the arrest of the accused was underway, Public TV broadcasted a video news report titled, “Bengalurinalli Hindu Karyakartara Hatyage Sanchu” (Conspiracy to kill Hindu activists in Bengaluru), ‘Hanuman Chalisa pratiyaagi petrol bomb’ (Petrol Bomb against Hanuman Chalisa). ‘Hindu devastaanagala mele petrol bomb hunnara’ (Petrol Bomb planned against Hindu Temples). ‘Hattu biyar batalgalalli petrol daalige plan maadiddaare’ (Petrol attack planned using 10 beer bottles)”, were the fabricated reports broadcasted by the accused TV channel.

Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday saluted the armed forces for conducting missile strikes on Pakistan under 'Operation Sindoor', to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed.
He said, terror has no place in our land, and India will respond with strength and unity.
In retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces on early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke.
"I salute the extraordinary courage of our armed forces behind Operation Sindhoor. Their heroic action reaffirms that India will never tolerate terror in any form," Siddaramaiah said in a post on 'X'.
Stating that the brutal attack in Pahalgam was not just on innocent lives, it was an assault on the dreams and spirit of India, he said, "Every effort of our brave soldiers is a pledge to bring justice to the victims, their families, and to every Indian who believes in peace and humanity."
"Karnataka joins the nation in expressing unwavering solidarity with our forces. We are proud of your valour, sacrifice, and unflinching commitment to protect our sovereignty," he added.
India's response came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.
