Youth who stabbed man in Shivamogga has links with Pak-based terror outfits: K'taka HM
'case to handed over to NIA'
Shivamogga, Sep 3: One of the four persons arrested for stabbing a Rajasthani youth on August 15 in Shivamogga has links with Pakistan-based terror outfits, Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra said on Saturday.
Jnanendra was referring to the violent incident over Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar's poster at a public place in Shivamogga in which four people allegedly stabbed 20-year-old Prem Singh, an employee of a garment store.
In this connection, people arrested four persons -- Nadeem, Rehman, Ahmed and Mohammed Zabiullah.
"The case of Zabiullah is extremely scary if we look into the background. We are getting information that he has links with various terrorist groups. We are getting evidences also. Shortly, this case will be handed over to the National Investigation Agency," Jnanendra told reporters.
He also wondered why there was a protest march against these people in Shivamogga.
"Can we expect such people to save our country who have links with terrorist groups? How to expect maintaining peace with such people? A special inquiry is happening against them," Jnanendra said.
Police sources said when the police investigated Zabiullah's phone, they came across the fact that he has links with terror organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed.
The arrested man has already been booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), they said.
Though it is not known for how long Zabiullah had been actively in touch with the terror groups, sources added that some more details may emerge as the investigation proceeds further.
On August 15, right-wing outfits put up posters of Savarkar and Deendayal Upadhyaya at Amir Ahmed Circle in the city.
Protesting against it, some Muslim youth demanded that they should be allowed to put up 18th century Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan's poster at the same venue.
This led to the clash between two groups and Prem Singh, who was in his shop, got stabbed.

Rajpal Yadav apologises for Diwali video after backlash, deletes post
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav recently found himself in a controversy following a video he shared on Diwali. In the video, Yadav urged people not to burst firecrackers, citing concerns over noise and air pollution, as well as the distress caused to animals. However, this message sparked backlash on social media, where users criticised him, citing his past endorsement of non-vegetarian brands. Following the criticism, Yadav deleted the video and issued a public apology in a new post, expressing regret for any offence caused.
In his apology, Yadav wished everyone a happy Diwali and said, "Two days ago, I shared a video on my social media, which I have now deleted. I sincerely apologise if it hurt anyone's feelings. Celebrate Diwali joyfully, stay healthy, and be happy."
After Yadav’s apology, several people expressed disappointment, questioning whether environmental awareness is being unfairly targeted. Some users remarked on the trend of trolling those promoting environmental responsibility, while others criticised Yadav's decision to apologise, calling it an unwarranted concession to trolls. Noted journalist Dr. Mukesh Kumar commented on the situation, stating that Yadav should have stood by his message. Kumar argued that voices promoting positive change should not be silenced by what he termed as the influence of "uneducated masses manipulated by political agendas."
Amid the controversy, Rajpal Yadav returns to the big screen as Chhote Pandit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. In an interview, Yadav mentioned that he would be portraying the character in a fresh style, adding a new dimension to the familiar role.

इतनी जल्दी सरेंडर नहीं करना चाहिए था राजपाल जी। आपको अपने काम पर, अपने उद्देश्य पर यक़ीन होना चाहिए और उस पर डटे रहना चाहिए।

इस समय असभ्य, आशालीन और उपद्रवकारी लोगों की बाढ़ आई है। ये इतने बुद्धिहीन हैं कि आपके इतने महत्वपूर्ण संदेश को समझ ही नहीं पाए होंगे।
