Bengaluru, Jul 2: Eyebrows were raised when JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda was spotted at the Kumara Krupa guest house on Sunday, ahead of the coordination committee meeting of the JD(S)-Congress coalition government.

Gowda’s presence at the guest house surprised many as he is not a member of the committee. The JD(S) patriarch, who has been attacked by the opposition for his continued “intervention” in the coalition government, however clarified that he had come to the guest house to use the toilet and meet his party leader Danish Ali.

“I came here for two reasons. I had to use the bathroom and meet Danish Ali, who is staying here. I had not met Ali after he came to Bengaluru. My visit has nothing to do with the coordination committee meeting,” he added.

Gowda denied that he met any of the Congress leaders, including K C Venugopal. Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy entered the guest house a few minutes after his father’s exit.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

The Commissioner said the accused was traced and arrested using technical evidence.
