Bengaluru: An FIR has been lodged against the shopkeeper involved in the altercation at Nagarthapete at the Halasuru Gate police station in Bengaluru. The incident, which sparked widespread attention, began with a dispute between the proprietor of a telecom shop and several youths who raised objections to the loud music from a speaker during Ramzan prayers.

The initial FIR was filed on March 17 against individuals including Sulieman, Shahnawaz, Rohith, Danish, Tarun, and others for allegedly assaulting Mukhesh, the owner of Krishna Telecom, located in Siddanna Galli of Nagarthapete. The altercation stemmed from a disagreement over the high volume of a loudspeaker at the shop during evening prayers. The accused were promptly apprehended with the assistance of CCTV footage capturing the incident.

However, the situation took a communal turn when Mukhesh claimed that the assailants objected to the playing of the 'Hanuman Chalisa' in his shop afterward. This assertion prompted BJP MPs Tejasvi Surya, Shobha Karandlaje, and PC Mohan to gather at the scene to protest against the assault, with demonstrators chanting the 'Hanuman Chalisa' in public.

A subsequent FIR, filed by Jabin, the father of Suleiman, one of the accused, alleges that his son and his companions had confronted Mukhesh regarding the loud music being played through his speakers for the past three days during prayers. The youths reportedly argued that the street is frequented by 3000 people daily during Ramzan prayers in the evening, and Mukhesh's actions were causing inconvenience to all of them. According to the FIR, Mukhesh proceeded to physically assault Suleiman and his group and verbally abuse them. The complainant has urged legal action to be taken against Mukhesh.

Mumbai, Nov 24: There is unrest in the Maha Vikas Aghadi camp and its five to six MLAs might join the ruling Mahayuti in the next few months, claimed NCP chief whip Anil Patil, who has retained his Amalner assembly seat, on Sunday.

The MVA of Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered a crushing blow in the Maharashtra assembly polls, winning only 46 of the state's 288 seats. By contrast, the BJP-led ruling coalition, which also has NCP and Shiv Sena as partners, bagged an impressive 230 seats.

“There is tremendous unrest among some NCP (SP), Congress and Sena (UBT) MLAs who have been re-elected. Those having good relations with us have expressed concerns over MVA’s massive defeat,” Patil told Marathi news channel ABP Majha.

If one wants development works in his constituency, it is good to be in power, said the legislator from Ajit Pawar’s party.

“The MVA MLAs feel their future is uncertain. It shouldn’t be a surprise if five to six MLAs cross over to the Mahayuti in the next four months,” he said.

In the results of the Maharashtra polls declared on Saturday, BJP won in 132 constituencies, while its partners Shiv Sena and NCP walked away with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.

From the MVA camp, Shiv Sena (UBT) bagged 20 seats followed by Congress’ 16 and 10 by NCP (SP).
