Karnataka BJP files complaint against Congress for insulting party leaders in recent Facebook post
Bengaluru: Karnataka Congress President, DK Shivakumar, and the head of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) social media cell are facing a complaint filed with the Special Magistrate Court. The complaint alleges that they shared photos of senior BJP leaders, including State President BY Vijayendra, in a derogatory manner on the KPCC's Facebook page.
The controversy stems from a recent BJP campaign across the state, where party members carried placards with the message "I too am a 'Karasevaka,' arrest me too." This protest was in response to the arrest of BJP member Srikanth, accused of creating a disturbance in Hubballi related to the Rama Janmabhoomi issue.

In the complaint, the BJP accused the Congress of editing and misusing photos of BJP leaders, spreading false statements on social media to mislead users and create disharmony among communities in Karnataka.

Gujarat man held for impersonating govt official, duping people with forged letters
Ahmedabad (PTI): The Ahmedabad police have arrested a 29-year-old man who allegedly posed as a senior revenue official and used fake letters claiming to be from various government departments to cheat people, an official said on Sunday.
Mehul Shah, an engineer who manages two schools at Vankaner in Gujarat’s Morbi district, is accused of making lakhs of rupees with bogus documents and false claims, said inspector (crime branch) JK Makwana.
Shah had forged an appointment letter from the Ahmedabad district education officer (DEO) to offer a computer operator’s job in a government office to a complainant’s son. He also introduced himself as a trustee of a school and did not pay a man Rs 7 lakh due to him over the painting of a school building, the official said.
“Despite holding no official position in the state or central government, he used fake work permits and NOCs to cheat people of lakhs of rupees,” the police official said.
One complainant alleged that Shah identified himself as a top revenue department official and produced a fake letter from the chairman of the “department of science and research development” to make him install a siren and curtain in a hired vehicle but did not pay for the job, he said.
Bogus letters claiming to be from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ahmedabad DEO were used by the accused to cheat the complainants, the police official said.
Police have recovered from his possession fake identity cards and letters with headings like “bharat gaurav ratna shri samman council”, “chairman of department of science and research development”, “health and family welfare department”, and “road and building department”.
“The FIR is based on complaints by three victims. We appeal to the people to come forward and submit their complaints if they have been cheated by Shah in any way,” Makwana said.
