A case has been filed at the Karkala police station against Sumanth Baliga for sharing a controversial photo on Facebook. The photo depicted Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Congress party and leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, garlanding his own photo and placing an incense stick.
The complaint was lodged by Suhas Kava, secretary of the district Youth Congress, alleging that Baliga shared the photo on the official page ‘Mausami Official’ with the intention of creating discord between political party leaders and inciting hatred.
Authorities are urged to take strict action against the accused to address the matter.
