It is learnt that years ago court had ordered SI Mahesh Prasad to appear and produce witness in court but SI had failed to produce document and witness.

However Bantwal rural sub inspector neglected court order and repeated the mistake when the court served show cause notice to him. When he failed to appear before the court, police department was also asked to direct sub inspector to court.

When he failed to follow court order, court served him warrant. On Wednesday Mahesh Prasad in order to respect warrant appeared in court without witness and document.

Therefore the court remanded him to judicial custody for 14 days and as the source says he was released on bail with the help of higher police officials.

However, the SI in question has said that the atrocity had happened in his absence and the fact is that he had not even taken charge then.

This incident has proved that even the cops cannot escape from law.

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.
