Responding to the queries of media persons, he said that mistake committed by anyone is a mistake and BJP condemns such acts. "We have discussed these matters with BJP state president B Y Yeddyurappa and he will take appropriate action against these representatives," he said.

He called upon elected representatives to abide by law and become role model for commoners. Commenting on the appointment of Lokayukta, he said that the government takes suggestion from opposition leaders but neglects them while finalizing the name. "The last time, we had suggested name of Justice Vikram Sen, but it was dropped in the final list," he said.

Denying commenting on the appointment of Justice Vishwanath Shetty as the Lokayukta, Shettar said that if there is any allegation against Shetty, the government should review it.

When asked about implementation of Justice Sadashiv commission recommendations, he said that the BJP had given consent to the proposals during the recent Madigara Mahasamavesh. "After that convention, we were approached by communities like Bhovi and Lambani, who alleged that the Justice Sadashiv report is misleading," he said.

"We suggest the government to convene a meeting. The chief minister should try to create consent among all the communities before implementing the commission's recommendations," he opined.

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.
