Case filed against Karnataka BJP IT cell over post linking Rahul Gandhi to Pahalgam terror attack

The complaint was filed by C M Dhananjaya, Chairman of the Legal and Human Rights Unit of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee.

Bengaluru: The Bengaluru police on Wednesday booked the BJP IT and social media admin for making offensive remarks about Rahul Gandhi in the context of the Pahalgam terror attack.

The complaint was filed by CM Dhananjaya, a spokesperson for the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), and president of its legal and human rights departments, at the High Grounds police station.

Dhananjaya stated in the complaint that the BJP IT cell had shared a picture of Rahul on its X account, captioning: “Every time @Rahul Gandhi leaves the country, something sinister unfolds back home.”

Dhananjaya called the statement “defamatory” and urged the police to take action, saying it could harm peace in society.
