“Everybody makes accusations. But they have to be verified properly. We need to find out whether they (charges against Sait) are politically motivated,” he told reporters on seeking his reaction to charges that the minister demanded bribe from the Library department staff.

On speculation in the political circles that the Congress will organise AICC session in Bengaluru, he said he has not received any communication from the party high command in this regard.

The Karnataka Pradesh Congresss Committee had recently urged the party high command to allow it to organise the session, likely to be held either in July or August this year, in Bengaluru.

This apart, Bengaluru Development Minister K J George said appointment of K C Venugopal as AICC general secretary incharge of Karnataka will boost the morale of the party workers in the state. “He is an young and enthusiastic leader. His appointment will help the party prepare for the Assembly elections next year,” he added.

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.
