Tanveer Sait accused of watching girls photos on mobile during Tipu Jayanti

November 10, 2016

Bengaluru, Nov 10: Karnataka's primary and secondary education minister Tanveer Sait was on Thursday found watching obscene photographs on his mobile phone during the Tipu Jayanthi celebrations in Raichur.

A media channel ran footage of the minister viewing photographs of skimpily-clad girls on his phone while on the dais during the celebrations organised as a tribute to Tipu Sultan, the ruler of erstwhile Mysore kingdom who fought against the British. The minister is seen browsing photographs of the girl while other speakers are lauding Tipu Sultan.

Though the minister and the Congress are yet to react the opposition BJP, which has been criticising the government for organising Tipu Jayanthi, has demanded the minister's resignation. BJP leader K S Eshwarappa said: "He has no moral authority to continue as a minister, he should resign immediately." This is the second such scandal that has surfaced in Karnataka in the recent times; In 2012, two BJP ministers were caught viewing porn in their mobile phones inside the legislative assembly.

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.
