Mangaluru: An FIR has been filed against the 'Hindu Mantra' Instagram page for celebrating the murder of four members of a Muslim family in Karnataka's Udupi district. The post, which glorified the act of a jilted lover, claimed that the perpetrator had set a "world record" by killing four Muslims in just 15 minutes.
The Cyber Economic and Narcotics Police Station (CEN) in Udupi has initiated an investigation into the matter and registered a case against the Instagram page for spreading communal hatred.
The post, adorned with a crown emoji on the photo of the accused, not only celebrated the gruesome act but also made controversial statements linking it to a previous incident involving Hindu girls in a college restroom.
The Instagram post suggested that since no Muslims had condemned the Udupi restroom video case, where Hindu girls were filmed, there would be no support for the victims in this recent case of the killing of four individuals from the Muslim community.
The accused, identified as 37-year-old Praveen Arun Chougale, an employee at Mangaluru International Airport, confessed to the crime. Motivated by issues related to friendship, love for a woman named Aynaz, and financial matters, Chougale allegedly killed Haseena (46), Afnan (23), Aynaz (21), and Aseem (12) at their residence.
