In a spicy twist in the world of activism, the Belthangady police have taken a strong stand against T. Jayanth. The police registered a case against him for spreading false information about another activist, Mahesh Shetty Thimarody. According to the complaint filed by head constable A. Jagadeesh, Mr. Jayanth knew why the Puttur Assistant Commissioner ordered Thimarody’s externment. But shockingly, he shared only part of the story on YouTube. He painted the externment as a conspiracy aimed at stopping the ‘Justice to Soujanya’ campaign, trying to stir trouble in society. The police aren't taking this lightly and have booked him under offences related to the BNS. This case highlights the fine line between activism and misinformation in today’s charged atmosphere. Stay tuned as this local drama unfolds, showing how facts and rumors can clash fiercely in the public eye.
