Shivamogga, Jul 14: State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa has asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to step down owning moral responsibility for officers' suicides.

He told reporters on Wednesday that earlier, farmers were ending lives. Now, officers are taking the extreme step. This best exemplifies the anti-people rule of Congress-led government in the state, he said. Hence, Siddaramaiah should step down, he demanded.

Referring to deputy superintendent of police M K Ganapathi's suicide, the former chief minister said the officer has named minister K J George and two police officers in a statement to a local TV channel before ending his life.

The Supreme Court has stated that the police should book a criminal case against those named in a dying declaration.

Though the statement can be considered evidence, the government is not filing a case.

“Is Siddaramaiah, who is an advocate, not aware of this?” he wanted to know.

Yeddyurappa said that the BJP will not call off its agitation in the Assembly till George resigns and added that a Madikeri bandh will be observed on Thursday.

He said the government would be responsible for any law and order problem on the bandh day.

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.
