Activist Arrested Over Remarks Against BJP Leader

An activist named Mahesh Shetty Thimarody was arrested after he was accused of saying mean things about a BJP leader.

This happened because he allegedly made some remarks in a video.

The police had asked him to come in for questioning twice, but he didn't show up.

Thimarody says the case is a fake and the BJP made up the evidence.

He is involved with a case regarding a temple management.

Another complaint was also filed against him and others, claiming they spread lies and disrespected a religious site.
