“We have learnt that some students shouted slogans. But it is not clear whether somebody else was behind it. Bengaluru City Police Commissioner N S Megharikh has been directed to conduct a probe and identify them. Stringent action will be taken against those who shouted anti-India slogans. If it is confirmed that they have connections with terrorists, the case will be handed over to a federal investigation agency,” he told reporters.

On Saturday, Amnesty International had organised a programme highlighting the human rights' violations in Jammu and Kashmir at the United Theological College. A section of students shouted slogans against the Indian Army during the event.

BSY demands action

State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa said the government should arrest those who indulged in sloganeering and initiate legal action against them.

“Some people shouted slogans against the armed forces. They have also raised pro-Pakistan slogans. Nobody should compromise on the sovereignty of the country. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should direct the police to act against the culprits,” he told reporters.

“Who organised the event? Who gave them permission to organise it? What was their intention? All these issues should be probed,” he said. Though the police have information on those involved, Parameshwara claimed that he has no clue about them, he charged.

He also wrote to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, requesting him to order a thorough probe into the incident.

Blind Nationalist and blind nationalism is more dangerous than terrorism.
If Army doing something wrong, people have rights to speak against that and don't consider as anti-India slogan.
Why Police and our law is not taking action against those busy with anti-National or anti-India activities through Gow raksha, communal violence, hatred speeches etc etc.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
