Kalaburagi, Sept 17: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday promised a separate Secretariat for the Kalyana-Karnataka region to focus on the development of the region.

The Hyderabad-Karnataka region is being renamed as Kalyana-Karnataka after the Karnataka government gave its approval for the same on Friday.

"Hyderabad-Karnataka region is being renamed as Kalyana-Karnataka today. It was a long-pending demand. The state government will create a separate Secretariat for the development of Kalyana-Karnataka," said Yediyurappa while speaking to media in Kalaburagi.

This region was a part of the princely state of Hyderabad which was under Nizams. Even after independence, the region remained under Nizam as the last monarch of Hyderabad refused to integrate with India. He was later deposed off by invading Indian military on September 17, 1948, after which the province was merged with India.

The state government has also issued a circular to celebrate September 17 as Kalyana Karnataka Utsava Dinacharane.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
