Dammam, Feb 3: Harish Bangera, 32, who was arrested in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia more than a month ago after offensive Facebook post went viral, has remained incommunicado.
Bangera, who hails from Goyadibettu in Bijadi village of Kundapur taluk, Udupi district, was an air-conditioning technician for a company in Dammam, capital of Saudi's eastern province.
He was arrested on December 20, 2019 after he posted derogatory messages on Facebook against crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and went on to claim that a Ram temple will be built in the holy city of Makkah too just like in Ayodhya where the Babri mosque was demolished.
Fearing legal action, he later posted a video pleading for forgiveness. “I have committed a mistake. Please forgive me. I will never upload any such posts again," he is seen saying in the video.
After his arrest, his roommate, who happens to be a Pakistani, has reportedly made several attempt to contact him, but in vain. He also has approached many Indian and Saudi authorities in his bid to get Bangera out of prison, sources said.
The Saudi authorities have not even responded to the messages of Indian Ministry of External Affairs. "We've made many efforts to contact the Saudi authorities but they haven't responded,” MEA sources said.
There can be many such people in the Kingdom.
They should be identified and treated in the same way.
These are real terrorists, keep him few years in jail, they should not be let free. Otherwise they will forget and commit again.
May God help us.
Well done Saudi Authorities, this kind of mentality should be eleminated even any whare in any country we have many BJP dogs barking nonsence always all should be eleminated.
Bengaluru, Apr 17: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Thursday served a show cause notice to a Kannada news channel for broadcasting a programme in which it purportedly said that the Centre would 'air drop money' to the poor, owing to the COVID-19 lockdown.
The notice said that the channel was "spreading false information, creating panic and social unrest.
" The channel had allegedly aired a show titled, "Helicopter Money" on Wednesday which claimed that the Centre would drop money from helicopters during the lockdown period.
A Twitter user took a serious note of it and complained to the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar.
The fact check team of the Press Information Bureau, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, refuted the claim.
In its notice to the channel, PIB said, "You are hereby directed to show cause why your channel should not be taken out of air immediately. You are instructed to send your reply in this regard within 10 days of receipt of this notice."
Reacting to the notice, the management of the news channels said, "A programme which has been seen in bits and pieces and those who have not even seen the programme appears to have complained. Notice will be replied accordingly."

The passion of young Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope. It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.
Congratulation Miss. Way to go.
PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.
CONGRATULATIONS.
Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.
She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.
She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.
All the best.
