According to Suvarna News, the SDPI local leader Muzammil Pasha had visited the police station along with the mob to register a complaint against a person named Naveen over the alleged derogatory Facebook post. Reportedly, the arrested SDPI leader addressed the mob outside the police station and also joined the Muslim mob which protested outside the residence of the Congress MLA.

A Muslim mob went on a rampage and unleashed extreme violence in Bengaluru on Tuesday evening over a Facebook post that was allegedly derogatory to Prophet Mohammad.
According to the reports, the Muslim mob hit the streets near DJ Halli and KG Halli police station areas on Tuesday evening and attacked a Congress MLA’s house after one of his relatives had allegedly made a derogatory Facebook post.
Over a 100 people had gathered around the residence of Congress MLA Akhanda Srinivasamurthy around 7:00 PM on Tuesday. Congress MLA Akhanda Srinivasamurthy represents Pulikeshinagar constituency which is reserved for the Scheduled Caste (SC). The Muslim mob, armed with sticks, iron rods, sharp metal objects and other weapons, went berserk and barged into the house of the MLA.
The angry Muslim pelted stones and began to torch vehicles, ATMs, shops near the locality while protesting against the alleged derogatory post made by one of the relatives of Dalit Congress MLA Akhanda Shrinivasamurthy. Social media posts of few people involved in the mob violence indicate that the riots could have been pre-planned as calls for the mobilisation of Muslims were allegedly made on social media platforms on Tuesday evening.

Further, the mob also set two cars on fire. The violent mobsters forced the shopkeepers to down shutters in Pulakeshinagar, Bharatinagar, Commercial Street and Tannery Road.
DJ Halli, along with Tannery Road, Shampura, Davis Road, Frazer Town and Coles Park are one of the most sensitive areas in Bengaluru city. The majority of the population in these localities are Muslims. The Bilal Bagh area in DJ Halli had become the anti-CAA and NRC protest site on the lines of Shaheen Bagh in Delhi.
Angry mob shouted Allah-hu-Akbar, Nara e taqbeer, torched police station
Soon, the situation took an ugly turn after two separate Muslim mobs gathered in front of KG Halli and DJ Halli police stations. The Muslim mobs locked the gates from outside and pelted stones at the police station. At least 10 vehicles, including Innovas of two DCPs, were damaged in front of the stations. The mob also set fire to the vehicles in front of the DJ Halli police station.
In what seems to be a pre-planned attack by the Muslim mob, the Muslim mob, carrying petrol and other weapons, also barged into the nearest police quarters and attack the premises.
The Muslim mob was seen raising Islamic slogans like ‘Allah-hu-Akbar’ and ‘Nara-e-Taqbeer’ outside the police station.
The mob even attacked media persons, who were capturing the violent incident on their phone cameras and Suvarna News journalists have been injured. The cameras and mobiles were snatched and damaged completely.

As the DCP Bheemashankar Guled visited the spot to take control of the situation, the angry mob stopped him in front of the police station gate and also pelted stones at him. Even as the police personnel were escorting the DCP to a safe location, the mob attacked the car and damaged it. They also assaulted the driver of the vehicle.

The Muslim mob, armed with all dangerous weapons and petrol, took control of the area and sealed five to six crosses barring access to police personnel and fire and emergency service personnel. The Muslim mob did not allow fire engines to enter the street and douse the fire.
The residents of the localities now gripped by panic, starting to leave houses along with kids and women to other areas in an attempt to save their lives from the Muslim mob.
Two hours after the Muslim mob unleashed the riots, the Bengaluru police attempted to control the situation and began dispersing the mob. The police fired in the air in front of the KG Halli police station. Despite the firing, there was no sign of control as the mob continued with their violence protest.
In the resulting firing, at least two people have died while a few others were injured severely. At least 60 police personnel including an Additional Commissioner of Police have sustained injuries in the clashes, said Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant. The police have now imposed restrictions under CrPC Section 144 and curfew has been imposed in DJ Halli and KG Halli police station limits of the city.
Reportedly, the relative of the Congress MLA, Naveen, has been arrested for his allegedly offensive Facebook posts on social media, the Commissioner added. More than 100 Muslim mobsters have been arrested on Tuesday evening for unleashing riots in the city.
The senior police officers, including Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Nath have arrived at the spot. The situation has been brought under control and the mob has dispersed.
Dalit Congress MLA appeals to Muslims for peace
Amidst all the violence, the Congress MLA Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy appealed to the people to maintain peace and said action will be taken against the person, who allegedly posted the post.
“I appeal to all my Muslim brethren to maintain peace and not to get carried away by the rumours and miscreants’ words. Be it a Hindu or Muslim, we all are equal. Whoever it may be trying to disrupt the harmony, they will be dealt with seriously and will be punished by the police as per the law. But let us not resort to this violence and I request all of you to keep calm,” the Congress MLA said.

Following the incident, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa spoke to Home Minister Basavaraja Bommai and asked him to take all necessary steps to contain further spread of violence. Home Minister Bommai urged people to must maintain peace and those who resort to violence will be dealt with an iron fist.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the submarine optical fibre cable (OFC) which connects the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to mainland India. The cable connects Port Blair to Chennai. It also connects Port Blair to other areas of the Union Territory including Great Nicobar, Car Nicobar, Little Andaman, Rangat and Swaraj Dweep.
Why amidst COVID19 is PM Modi placing importance on this? The submarine OFC is important for several reasons. Not only will it improve the connectivity of the islands, but will also boost the economy and significantly expand India’s security capabilities.
A major aim of the submarine OFC is to improve telecom and mobile connectivity. The OFC will immediately connect the islands to other parts of India and the globe via efficient mobile, landline and internet availability. As a result, local businesses can incorporate e-commerce. Local citizens can embrace entrepreneurship. Simultaneously, online education, net banking and e-governance will increase as well. Islanders will be able to use the connectivity to become beneficiaries of online services. This is especially integral as India continues to combat the COVID19 pandemic.
Another major benefit of the submarine OFC is that it will boost the Indian economy considerably. Greater connectivity means more enabled, educated and empowered citizens. Through entrepreneurship and financial inclusion, island locals will now be contributing individuals to the state and national GDP. And once developed, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands would be significant contributors to the national economy in multiple sectors. The islands are rich in natural resources.
At present, the livestock industry, fishing industry and agriculture are major contributors to the local economy. The main food crop is paddy and cash crops include coconut, mango and root crops. Other integral industries include handcrafts and minerals and energy resources. With the connectivity provided by the submarine OFC, industries like sea-food, coconut-based products and organic products can be quickly formed and developed. These industries will greatly support the ‘vocal for local’ national movement encouraged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Furthermore, diversifying the domestic economy by incorporating these industries will successfully establish a long-term Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).
Perhaps the most relevant advantage of the submarine OFC is because of the geographical placement of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Union Territory is comprised of 572 islands and is geo-politically immensely strategic for India. The islands’ location control not just the Bay of Bengal but also the Six Degree and Ten Degree channels. At least 60,000 commercial vessels pass through these channels every year. As national naval capabilities increase, India can play a lead role in controlling access of ships passing through these channels and the Malacca Strait.
The submarine OFC will also greatly boost India’s security infrastructure. Surveillance capability will improve immediately. Over the past few years, multiple nations have increased their presence in this region. Most notable is China, and its presence in this zone is of great concern for India. There have been reported sightings of Chinese naval ships disguised as fishing boats. China’s ships have also reached ports of Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The submarine OFC’s connectivity will boost India’s maritime capability with better surveillance, faster communication and more adeptness to check back countries like China trying to exert illegitimate influence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has himself elaborated the importance of submarine OFC. He elaborated that interconnectivity empowers citizens through accessibility, boosts the economy and aids maritime strategy. The best part is that PM Modi realized the importance of this connectivity much prior to this OFC inauguration. In fact, he had laid the foundation for this project in December 2018. With an economy suffering from the impact of the COVID19 pandemic and with the recent, worrisome border violence with China, it is especially important that India becomes self-reliant ASAP. A well-connected Andaman and Nicobar Islands will greatly help achieve Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Earlier today, news agency Press Trust of India (PTI) misquoted PM Modi on the decline of the percentage of active Chinese coronavirus cases in the country. Prime Minister, while interacting with the Chief Ministers of tens states of India had said that in the past few weeks, the percentage of active coronavirus cases in the country has been coming down.
However, PTI misquoted him, claiming that the Prime Minister meant that the number of active coronavirus cases in the country has come down. Soon after PTI posted a grossly misleading tweet that the Prime Minister of the country has alleged that the number of the coronavirus cases in the country is on the wane, the principal opposition party, Congress, co-opted PTI’s misquoted tweet, to allege that PM Modi has lied to the nation.
Congress peddles PTI’s misquoted tweet to allege PM Modi lied to the nation
“And the most predictable news of the day: The PM has lied to the nation again,” the official Twitter handle of the Congress party tweeted before cross-checking the veracity of the PM’s quote as tweeted by the PTI. The Congress party also attached the screenshot of the PTI’s misquoted tweet about PM Modi along with the graph that showed a steady rise in the number of active cases in the country.
However, in its rush to paint the Prime Minister of the country as a liar and tarnish his reputation, the Congress party did not bother to verify the quotes wrongly attributed to PM Modi by the news agency PTI.
The active coronavirus cases in India
While the total number of active coronavirus cases in the country has been increasing, the rate at which it is increasing in the past few days is steadily declining. This means that the total number of the active coronavirus cases are increasing but so are the recoveries.
As per the details shared by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), one can notice a consistent decline in the total percentage of active cases.
Graph of recovery rate and active cases rate since June 15 (graph courtesy: PIB)
As can be seen above, the recovery rate is currently at almost 70%, which means almost 70% of total Chinese coronavirus patients in India have recovered. The same was about 51% on June 15. While India has still not peaked (where daily recoveries are more than daily new active cases consistently), the above graph shows that India is well on its path to recovery.
Hence, even though the number of active cases is rising consistently, the percentage of active cases in India is seeing a steady decline.
When the social media users responded to the Congress party’s Twitter handle about the lie that they had been peddling based on the fallacious tweet by the PTI, the party was swift in pulling down the tweet in which it called the Prime Minister a liar.
Congress, a well-oiled fake news factory
Contrary to what the Congress party would have us believe that the Prime Minister of the country lies to the nation, it is Congress and its most important leader-Rahul Gandhi, who have been caught multiple times spreading lies, in a desperate attempt to malign the BJP and PM Modi.
In the run-up to the 2019 General elections, Rahul Gandhi weaved an elaborate web of lies to indict the government of corruption in an imaginary Rafale scam. Unsubstantiated allegations of misappropriation, corruption, graft and cronyism were levelled against PM Modi and the BJP with regards to the Rafale deal, so as to cast a dent in PM Modi’s popularity and dampen the prospects of the BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
However, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party’s assiduously crafted web of lies was shattered when the Supreme Court of the country observed that there was no wrongdoing on the government’s part in the Rafale deal.
Much recently, Rahul Gandhi attempted to exploit the raging coronavirus pandemic and the hardships faced by migrant workers to mount an attack against the Modi government. Armed with fake news, Rahul Gandhi slammed the Modi government, alleging that the Centre is profiting from the miseries of the migrant workers. He alleged that the government had earned profits from the trains that were meant to ferry the migrant workers back to their homes.
However, as is the case with Rahul Gandhi, his untenable lies did not take much time to fall flat. According to the official data, far from earning profits from the Shramik trains, the government borne the losses of approximately Rs 1700 crores to ferry the distraught migrants back to their native places.
The above two examples are examples of how Congress lies to show the government in a bad light. There are several other instances when the Congress party has lied. The archive of those instances can be found here. While the archive may not be exhaustive, but the preponderance of incidents when Congress has lied to the nation is reflective of its tendency of using lies to attack its opponents.
Sourav Paul, an Operations Analyst at Linkedin as per his LinkedIn profile, has been the subject of a social media backlash after he threatened to murder Brahmins on Facebook. He had shared a post, originally uploaded by a page named ‘Masterstroke.’ The said post depicted a malnourished farmer and two obese priests at a temple.
The pictures claimed that the farmer was ‘aatmanirbhar‘ (independent) whereas the priests were ‘dan dakshina pe nirbhar‘ (dependent on charity and goodwill). The politically-charged post, invoked poverty porn, to suggest that Brahmin priests are well-fed but a farmer, who is not a Brahmin, is in a ragged condition.
Linkedin employee wants to murder ‘bad’ Brahmins
Dismayed by the fictional description of Brahmins as ‘over-privileged,’ an agitated Sourav tagged a Facebook friend and wrote, “This is the symbolism of your favourite Hinduism. Will you now dub it as collateral damage? Check it out. So-called secular country.”
Further, referring to Brahmins as ‘so-called’ great sons of the soil, Sourav went on a genocidal tirade against the Brahmin community. In a shocking display of venomous mindset, the Linkedin employee wrote, “Fact is I would kill a brahmin if he is wrong and it will be very difficult to oppose than killing them.”
Need a little support on LinkedIn to report a "Sourav Paul" to his employer for abusing Shri Ram and threatening to kiIII Brahmins. Here's the link.https://t.co/yFUr77gF5D
When someone texted him on Messenger to point out his hatred for Lord Ram, Sourav replied, “Tum bakch*d ho (You are a senseless f*cker). You have proved it with your behaviour.” A generation of youth has been brainwashed by Marxist propaganda so much so that they believe that Lord Ram had ‘trust issues’ with Maa Sita and therefore asked Her to take the Agnipareeksha (The test of fire).
Displaying the same ignorance, the Linkedin employee argued, “Why should I hate Ram? I am better than him at treating my wife. So, I don’t have to hate him at all. Pour soul had trust issues.” On being informed that his anti-Hindu hatred will go viral online, Sourav confidently asked the man to make him famous.
Influencer Madhur Sharma demands action against Linkedin employee
Social Media Influencer Madhur Sharma took to the professional networking platform, Linkedin, to register his complaint against the ‘Hinduphobic’ and genocidal nature of the comments of one of its employees.
Tagging the Country Manager of Linkedin India, Ashutosh Gupta, Madhur wrote, ” I would like to draw your attention towards some highly offensive comments made by one of your employees, Sourav Paul (https://lnkd.in/dhp8znJ) hurting religious sentiments of millions of Indians. I would request you to please look into it.”
He inquired, “Let me know if Linkedin India employs such people who try to create a communal divide and disharmony in our country. I’ll wait for your response, Sir.”
Call records of Rhea Chakraborty show that she was in touch with someone whose contact number was stored in her phone with the initials ‘AU’, Times Now has reported. Rhea Chakraborty is the former girlfriend of deceased Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and it is alleged that she was involved in his mysterious death.
TIMES NOW accesses Rhea Chakraborty's call records: Multiple calls between Rhea & mysterious initials 'AU'.
As per Times Now, there were 44 outgoing calls between the said number and Rhea Chakraborty. However, when one calls the number, it is received by an individual with initials SU. Currently, the CBI and Enforcement Directorate is investigating the matter and it remains to be seen who this individual is and whether the individual was involved in the said matter in any way at all.
In TrueCaller as well, the phone number is registered with a name bearing the initials SU. There were 17 incoming calls in addition to the outgoing calls and 2 SMSes. There was one call to that number on the 13th of June, a day before the death of the Bollywood actor, and another was made the day after his death. A call was also made on the 16th of June.
Father of Sushant Singh Rajput to Supreme Court
Father of Sushant Singh Rajput, KK Singh, on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that Sushant’s family never saw his body hanging and this creates suspicion. Contending that the family does not trust Mumbai Police with the investigation into the case of their late son, the family counsel of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput said on behalf of the actor’s father that Mumbai police was taking the investigations into a completely different direction.
Mumbai police have summoned everyone, “except the real suspects or accused” in the case of his son’s death, said KK Singh’s counsel as he furthered that the mark seen on the actor’s neck could be of a belt. “It has to be she (Rhea) who controlled everything and she had to be investigated but Mumbai Police was doing something else”, argued Susuhant’s father through Vikas Singh.
Vikas Singh adds that a preliminary investigation can’t go beyond seven days. But Mumbai Police went on and on and didn’t even go after the real accused.
Rhea’s flip flop on CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s case
It is pertinent to note here that Sushant Singh’s ex-girlfriend, Rhea who now seems to be flustered with her name appearing in the inquiry, has changed her stance on her demand for a CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s case.
The Bollywood entertainer, who had a month after Sushant’s death, batted for the investigative agency to intervene, has now been attributing adjectives like “illegal”, “against the notion of Federalism” and discriminatory to the agency. She recently, also invoked the upcoming Bihar elections insinuating that the death case of Sushant was being isolated and blown out of proportion since the death of Sushant Singh, who hailed from Bihar, unfortunately, occurred just in wake of elections in Bihar.
Supreme Court heard Rhea Chakraborty’s plea for the second time in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput death case today. Senior advocate Maninder Singh appearing for the Bihar government in the case argued that the FIR lodged in Patna in relation to the actor’s suicide in Mumbai is legal and valid, as he refuted the allegation of political pressure, bias and influence by the Nitish Kumar govt, as made by actress Rhea Chakraborty.
Speaking on the allegation that the FIR in Patna was lodged at the behest of Bihar Chief Minister, Maninder Singh who is backing the Bihar government said: “Regarding the Bihar CM playing a role, there is also mention of Maharashtra CM’s son and his involvement in the case. There is huge political clout pressuring police not to register an FIR.”
Maninder Singh: Regarding the Bihar CM playing a role, there is also mention of Maharashtra CM’s son and his involvement in the case. There is a huge political clout pressuring police not to register a FIR
FIR in Bihar was registered as at least some authority had to do “doodh ka doodh Paani ka paani” in the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput: senior advocate representing Bihar govt in SC
FIR in Bihar was registered on the basis of legality because some authority has to investigate and not social media. We had to do “doodh ka doodh Paani ka paani.” There was no investigation that was being done. Nitish Kumar did not intervene here at all, the Bihar government’s counsel argued alleging that there was non-cooperation from Maharashtra Police in the case.
Even Rajput’s postmortem report was not given to the state police by the Maharashtra police, the Bihar government said.
Slamming the Maharashtra police for the lukewarm investigation it has been conducting in the late actor’s death case, the Bihar Government counsel argued: “56 people were examined by the Mumbai police. Final report of post mortem came on June 25. Maha police did not register an FIR even though it examined so many people. The verdict states post mortem date is the last date for police to rely on Section 174. After the final post mortem report either proceeding are closed under 174 CrPC or FIR is registered. How many out of 56 people were examined after June 25 when the final post mortem came in”? asked senior advocate Maninder Singh speaking in favour of Bihar government in SC today.
A bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy was told by him that no FIR has been lodged in Mumbai yet on Rajput’s death.
The hearing was held on late actor’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty’s plea seeking transfer of the FIR, accusing her of abetting the actor’s suicide, from Patna to Mumbai.
Asking all the parties to submit arguments in writing on Thursday, the Supreme Court has reserved the order in the case.
