Initially, the Saraswathipuram police in the city arrested two persons, identified as Ajit and Revanna, who were moving suspiciously on a motorcycle near Kavitha Bakery. They recovered three Rs. 2,000 notes from Ajit and seven notes from Revanna.

On closer examination, the police found that the notes were fake. During interrogation, the accused reportedly confessed that their associate Roshan had given the notes to them for circulation, according to the police.

The police then raided Roshan's premises at Metagalli and seized 34 fake Rs. 2,000 notes and a few counterfeit notes of Rs. 50 and Rs. 20. The police said Roshan used a photocopier to make the Rs. 2,000 notes.

The accused were also involved in burglary cases in Vijayanagar in Mysuru and Malavalli in Mandya district, the police said.

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.
