Hindu man arrested for giving death threats to MLC DS Arun using fake Muslim identity
Shivamogga: The Bagalkot police on Tuesday arrested a man accused of sending death threats to Member of Legislative Council DS Arun in the name of a Muslim youth.
Reports said that the arrested has been identified as Siddharuda Shrikant (31), a resident of Shindikurabet, Gokak, Belagavi who allegedly threatened D S Arun over a fake account on Facebook, with the username, Mushtaq Ali.
The death threat against D S Arun was reported in a comment by Mushtaq Ali for a Facebook post emphasizing anti-Muslim ideas after the alleged murder of Bajrangdal activist Harsha. A complaint was lodged in this regard by D S Arun’s close associate Vagish with the district police.
Meanwhile, during the investigation of another case in Bagalkot, the truth about Shrikant’s fake account with a Muslim name has come into light, said the police.
“According to you, only one Hindu activist has died today. But in days to come, your wives and children would be our target,” the comment alleged.

Attack on Saif worrisome: NCP(SP) leader Supriya Sule
Mumbai (PTI): NCP (SP) Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule on Thursday expressed concern over the attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan by an intruder at his home in Mumbai and termed the incident as "worrisome".
Sule, who is a friend of Saif Ali Khan's wife Kareena Kapoor Khan's family, said the actor was hospitalised and was safe. The incident took place at around 2.30 am on Thursday at Saif Ali Kan's house in Mumbai's Bandra area, according to police. The actor, who was injured after the intruder attacked him with a knife, was hospitalised and required a medical procedure.
Sule spoke to Saif Ali Khan's sister-in-law Karisma Kapoor over phone in the presence of mediapersons at Baramati in Pune but declined to share details of the conversation. Saif Ali Khan was in hospital while Kareena had returned home, Sule was apparently told by Karisma Kapoor.
The NCP (SP) leader also enquired with Karisma Kapoor on how the intruder got inside Khan's house. "Saif is safe and in hospital. Wait for the official statement from the family and the police," Sule told reporters. The parliamentarian is a friend of Kareena Kapoor Khan's aunt Reema Jain, the daughter of legendary filmmaker and actor late Raj Kapoor.
"There was an attempted burglary in Saif Ali Khan and (his wife and actor) Kareena Kapoor Khan's residence last night. Saif had an injury on his arm for which he is in hospital, undergoing a procedure. The rest of the family is doing fine," Kareena Kapoor's team said in a statement. "We request the media and fans to be patient and not speculate any further as the police is already doing their due investigations. Thank you all for your concern," the statement said.
