Bengaluru, Nov 5: The Bengaluru police, who are investigating into the murder case of RSS activist Rudresh, have made it clear that the alleged role of Popular Front of India leader Hashim Sharif, is not yet confirmed.

Mr Sharif, the Bengaluru district president of PFI, who was picked up by the police on Wednesday night as fifth accused in the case, has been remanded to police custody till November 16 by a local court.

A senior police officer said, “We are literally at a dead-end now. We will have to interrogate him and only then can we get some clarity in the case. We also have to find out if he had directed Mohamed Majidullah, Mohammed Sadiq, Wasim Ahmed and Irfan Pasha to commit the murder.”

There were also rumours doing the rounds that the case may be taken up by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). But, senior police officers said this would not be necessary as the Bengaluru city police had already cracked the case.

Demand for NIA or CBI probe

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which has now accused Mr. Baig of playing a role in the murder, has demanded that he step down from the ministry, and a CBI or NIA probe be ordered.

Shobha Karandlaje, BJP State general secretary and MP, demanded that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah convene a meeting of his Cabinet on Saturday to hand over the murder probe to either the CBI or the NIA, and to keep Mr. Baig out of the ministry pending an inquiry.

She said the BJP will stage a protest seeking his resignation in Bengaluru on November 8. She alleged that the government was bringing pressure on the State police team to hush up the case.

Ban sought on parties

Ms. Karandlaje said a delegation of BJP top leaders from the State is likely to meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on November 9 to seek a ban on the Social Democratic Party of India, the Karnataka Forum for Dignity, and the People's Front of India (PFI), in connection with the attacks on RSS workers.

The party which is involved in communalism since 1948 Gandhiji's killing, Babri masjid demolition, gujarath riot, muzaffarnagar riot, and all bomb blasts in past years, killed Rohit vemula and continued till Akhlak's brutal murder and still it's inhuman activity reached to such an extent that it killed it's own party leader praveen poojary in udupi and kidnapping najeeb, is demanding for a ban on organization which is working for Empowerment of Minority and dalith communities through its wonderful social activities. This is called a real pj same time it's the tragedy of our country. #Rss banned twice but still its brutality is continuing. No one cares..

Dear Mohan
What about freedom fighter group like rss bajrang ramsena durga sena sanathan sena. still they are fighting for freedom with holding Britisher's tail.

Come on live and let others to live peacefully. This world is for a short period to love each others. Not to follow hatred policy and group.
Try to bow in front of creator and not to mohan bagwath and his communal group.They are always with their upper caste policy.
Trust you will think for a peaceful life and society.

Who ever is doing the crime and their supportive group n their God fathers must be sent behind bar till their bone get bend. Sure there will be no communal riots or the crook politicians will play with normal people's lives for their benefits. Recently coastal Karnataka witnessed innocent's murder. No one came front for NIA or CBI probe. Seems now the NIA is completely controlled by RSS trained studentS. State govt must give warning to this shobha if not improved then strict action to be taken on her and send her behind bar for at least 4 to 5 years. Trust all will support except one.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.
