Fake letter claiming expulsion of HDK and Nikhil Kumaraswamy from party goes viral, plaint filed
Bengaluru: A fake letter circulating on social media claimed that former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and JD(S) leader Nikhil Kumaraswamy were expelled from the JDS party. In response, JDS state president CM Ibrahim filed a complaint with the police.
"The JDS party has upheld a secular ideology for decades, with leaders and party workers from diverse backgrounds and religions. Recently JDS Legislative Leader HD Kumaraswamy and JDS Party Youth Unit State President Nikhil Kumaraswamy entered into an alliance with the BJP, prompting them to be expelled from the party,” the letter read.
However, it is worth noting that the letter signed by CM Ibrahim, is not authentic. Party President CM Ibrahim himself has asserted that this letter is a fake document created by an unknown source and circulated on social media.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim has officially lodged a complaint with the JC Nagar police station, urging an investigation into the matter and calling for appropriate legal action against those responsible.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
