Bengaluru: A police complaint has been lodged against Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge at Banashankari police station, accusing him of spreading misinformation through a social media post allegedly linking the RSS to the seizure of 44,250 live rounds of ammunition in Bihar and Haryana.
The complainant alleged that Kharge’s post on X sought to create an impression that the RSS was connected to the ammunition seizure cases, despite the absence of verified evidence.
The complaint claimed that such statements could create hostility between groups and disturb social harmony.
Seeking an independent and impartial investigation, the complainant urged police to examine the minister’s post and initiate appropriate legal action if violations were established.
The complainant also maintained that the law must apply equally to everyone, irrespective of their position in government.
