Mangaluru, Jan 14: The police have arrested a so called Hindutva activist who had misused a photo of Student Federation of India (SFI) leader Madhuri Bolar and issued threats on social media.

The arrested has been identified as Srihari alias Harish Devadiga alias Kakanje Devadiga, hailing from Kakanje in Belthangdi taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

The police managed to catch him near Pumpwell in Mangaluru on Saturday. Police have also seized the mobile through which he used to send the threat messages and produced him in court. The accused has been remanded to judicial custody.

Police said that there are a few more suspects who are yet to be arrested in connection with the case.

Madhuri, who also belongs to Hindu community, had lodged a police complaint on January 9 against the miscreants for circulating her old group photo on social media and warning her against mingling with Muslim boys.

The photo was taken by one of Madhuri’s friends a year ago when a group of SFI cadres were traveling in a bus to attend a camp. It was uploaded on Facebook. The trouble mongers who observed the photo recently, noticed a Muslim boy -Hamza Kinya- posing with others. Then they began to circulate it on social media with a warning to him against roaming with Hindu girls.

Shocked to see her photo doing rounds on social media Madhuri complained to the police. In her complaint, she said that Hamza was required to travel in the same bus as he was the district Joint Secretary of SFI.
