The police have registered a case against BJP leader and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje for allegedly trying to create communal tension in Uttara Kannada district through provocative tweets and lies.
On December 14, she tweeted: “Jihadis tried to rape and murder a girl studying in 9th std near honnavar. Why is the govt silent about this incident? Arrest those who molested and injured this girl. Where are you CM @siddaramaiah?” (sic). The MP has not deleted her ill-intentioned tweet even after it was proved that her allegations were false.
The Honnavar police have registered a suo motu case booking the MP under section 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153A (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 505(2) (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code on Thursday night.
In fact, a Class 9 girl in Honnavar had inflicted injuries to her hands after she was harassed by a miscreant called Ganesha Eshwara Naik, who is said to be a supporter of saffron groups. However, a local shop keeper, who provided bandage to the girl, had floated a rumour that she was stabbed by Muslims. Ms Karandlaje immediately took to the social media and added a few more lies to the story. The girl later clarified that no one had stabbed her.
Even after an FIR was registered against her, Ms Karandlaje continued her war on twitter. On December 22 she tweeted: “Govt which has failed in providing safety to women in Karnataka now tries to stifle my voice through a FIR. @siddaramaiah Govt protecting Jihadis."
“Will continue my fight against Jihadi elements. There is no way I'll succumb to the pressure of @siddaramaiah Govt.#HinduLivesMatter,” she tweeted again.
She also has refused to admit that she had tweeted without trying to know the truth. She continued to claim that the girl was indeed attacked by so called “jihadis” and that was what the girl had told the doctors immediately after the incident. “The police have threatened the girl and made her retract her statements and the State government is burying the case,” she claimed.

Shobha is a Master degree holder from Nagpur university in telling lie. She is not ashamed or telling lie. Its is her duty and religion to lie. More she lies more money comes in her account. She is already having crores of rupees in her accounts. She is nominated to misguide people and create trouble in karnataka in view of next election. In the case of College girl who hurted herself, this hate monger Shoba gave press statement that few Jihadis molested her and tried for gang rape, and fortunately this girl was saved by some patriot sangh parivar volunteers. She has crossed all the levels in the field of telling lie. this is her main job. She is not bothered about poors and needy people of her constituency. She is favorite of UP CM. Police should take note of her hate speeches + statements and book her under goonda act for spreading wrong rumours in the public resulting in riots + killings.
