Madikeri: FIRs have been registered against three men for spreading rumours and falsifying original video of protesters shouting ‘Ambedkar Zindabad’ in the protests undertaken by Muslim women at Shanivarasanthe, by tampering it to show chants of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ in Madikeri.
The accused have been identified as Raghu S. N, Harish, and Girish. Harish, who is among the accused, is a local correspondent for the Kannada Prabha magazine and is the president of Somvarpete Journalists Association.
Intending to create communal strife, Shanivarasanthe gram panchayat member Raghu, former member, and Journalist Harish and Kushal Nagar resident Girish circulated a distorted video in WhatsApp to falsely claim that Muslim women have shouted pro-Pakistan slogans during protests and continued to oppress Hindu organizations.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
