Mangaluru, May 15: “Unexpected” was the first reaction from Dr Bharath Shetty when asked about his huge victory margin against Congress leader B A Mohiuddin Bava in Mangaluru North Assembly constituency.

“My victory was expected, but this margin was unexpected,” the new MLA of the constituency, who defeated Mr Bava by a margin of 26648 votes told coastaldigest.com.

The dentist-turned-politician said that the complete credit of his massive victory goes to the party workers who relentlessly worked. “The Modi-Shah wave also worked magic,” he said.

The political greenhorn said that his priority was to restore law and order in his constituency and carry out development works, which was his poll agenda too.

“Cattle theft is a major problem here. People are getting murder. I will take necessary steps to restore law and order,” he said.

December 15,2025

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.
