Udupi video incident: Bengaluru Police arrests woman for hate post on Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah | Bengaluru News – Times of India
The accused woman was identified as Shakuntala HS — in her mid 30s — who had identified herself with the BJP.
Shakuntala was arrested by High Grounds police, who produced her before a local court on Friday evening and the court granted her bail.
Earlier on Thursday, a Congress worker — Hanumantaraya from Surapura in Yadgir — had filed a police complaint accusing Shakuntala of posting derogatory messages.
In his complaint, Hanumantaraya stated that “Shankuntala posted derogatory messages on Twitter and Facebook. The messages said that the Congress had described the Udupi video incident of children’s play and would it have said the same if the women family members of Siddaramaiah were targeted similarly?”
Acting on Hanumantaraya’s complaint, police had booked Shakuntala under Indian Penal Code Section 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman).
