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.
