Belagavi Police on Tuesday arrested nine people on the charge of putting up a poster that promoted hatred between communities in Belagavi.
City police officers registered a suo motu case against the nine accused who are said to be members of a pro-Hindutva group.
They had put up a large banner in front of a mosque in Bapat Galli in Belagavi that had cartoons of Muslim youth luring Hindu girls only to murder them later and labelled it, Love Jihad.
