Bengaluru: The High Grounds police registered a case on Tuesday against unidentified suspects for allegedly condemning the internal reservation for SCs and for using derogatory language against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and other Congress leaders.
The FIR was registered following a complaint by Sathish DV, a co-ordinator for the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC).
According to the complaint, the condemning messages were shared and forwarded by two phone numbers on a WhatsApp group called ‘Committee for Fight Against Internal Reservation-Vijayanagara District’.
“We have booked a case under Section 192 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS),” a police officer said. “Further investigation is underway.”
