Bengaluru, Jan 14: Concerned over alleged attempts by opposition Bharatiya Janata Party to destabilise the JD(S)-Congress government in Karnataka by luring ruling party MLAs, Congress ministers met here on Monday to discuss the issue and work out strategies to thwart any such attempt.

The meeting convened by the Deputy Chief minister G Parameshwara, ostensibly to discuss about the presentation of the Budget for the year 2019-20, was attended by senior ministers and also Co-ordination Committee Chairman and former Chief minister Siddaramaiah.

According to sources, the ministers discussed at length the discreet moves by the BJP leaders both in the State and the central leadership levels to topple the 7-month-old coalition government, and on ways to ‘protect’ the party MLAs targeted by the BJP leaders.

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.
