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.

New Delhi (PTI): The meeting between a Trinamool Congress delegation and the full bench of the Election Commission on Wednesday culminated on an acrimonious note, with the TMC saying the panel's chief asked them to "get lost" at the end of the seven-minute meeting, while the EC accused them of "shouting".
After the meeting, TMC's Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien told mediapersons that they handed over letters from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, and also apprised him of specific instances of poll officials having links with the BJP.
"Then he said, 'Get lost'. We have done eight to nine meetings with the Election Commission. Apart from the CEC, none of the other election commissioners spoke," O'Brien said.
"While we were walking out, one of my colleagues congratulated Gyanesh Kumar for being the only CEC to have notices moved in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for his removal," O'Brien MP said.
Meanwhile, sources in the Election Commission said the poll panel chief gave a "straight talk" to TMC leaders.
They accused O'Brien of shouting at the election commissioners and alleged that he asked the CEC not to speak.
The EC sources further said the elections in West Bengal would be "fear-free, violence-free, intimidation-free, and inducement-free."
