Puttur, Oct 25: A person, who was accused of indulging in sacrilege by imposing the picture of Lord Hanuman over the picture of Mecca Masjid in the display picture of his WhatsApp account, surrendered to the police on the night of Tuesday October 24. The issue had given rise to frayed tempers at Kadaba in the taluk.
The youth who surrendered to Kadaba police has been identified as Pradeep from Kudkuli near Kadaba. Pro-Muslim organizations with the support of many others had taken out a silent march through Kadaba town as a mark of protest on Tuesday. They later held protest in front of the office of Kadaba tahsildar, seeking immediate arrest of the accused for hurting their religious sentiments.
After these developments, accused Pradeep went to police station on his own and surrendered there. With this, the heat generated by the case appears to have died down.
