BJP worker arrested and released on bail over ‘derogatory’ tweet against CM’s family in connection with Udupi case

Bengaluru 

High Ground Police arrested a BJP worker identified as H.S. Shakunthala on Friday morning over a tweet allegedly making a derogatory remark on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s family. She was produced before a city court which granted her bail, following which she was released, sources said.

A few days ago, Shakunthala H.S. hailing from Tumakuru, tweeted quoting a tweet made from the official handle of Karnataka Congress (@INCKarnataka) questioning Mr. Siddaramaiah. “According to the Congress, videographing girl students inside a college washroom is mere child’s play. Will the Chief Minister call it child’s play if his daughter-in-law or wife were victims of the same?” The BJP worker had tagged Mr. Siddaramaiah as well.
