PUNE: In Maharashtra’s Kolhapur, five college-going minors have been detained for allegedly maintaining offensive social media account statuses and sharing an image of 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances that led the youths to engage in such activities, according to a senior police official.

Kolhapur city in western Maharashtra witnessed violent protests on Wednesday, spearheaded by right-wing outfits, in response to certain individuals using Tipu Sultan’s image and circulating an offensive audio message as their social media statuses.

Kolhapur Superintendent of Police Mahendra Pandit stated, “Two cases were registered in the city regarding the objectionable posts, and five youths have been detained. All of these individuals are minors and are currently enrolled in college. We are attempting to ascertain their associations and determine who instigated them to post such content.”

He further added, “Their phones have been confiscated and are undergoing analysis. Based on initial information provided by these five individuals, they had copied each other’s social media statuses and used them for their own accounts. Furthermore, our preliminary investigation suggests that they downloaded videos from the internet.”

The police have also noted that the detained youths anticipated trouble, as they had deleted their social media accounts around the same time when complaints were lodged with the police regarding their objectionable statuses.

“We are making efforts to retrieve the applications and data in order to identify the source of the videos. At this point, we cannot confirm whether they were provoked. We are also investigating certain social media accounts that appear to be propagating a specific narrative. We are in the process of establishing details such as the owners of these accounts, their creation dates, and associated mobile numbers,” Pandit explained during a press conference.

Regarding the violence that occurred at Shivaji Chowk on Wednesday, three cases have been filed against 300-400 individuals, and 36 people have been apprehended, including three juveniles. The police are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify those responsible for stone pelting and are also investigating if any provocative speeches were made during the agitation.

The internet service shutdown, implemented as a precautionary measure, will remain in effect until midnight (Thursday-Friday), as stated by the SP.

In response to a stone pelting incident in Wadange village, Pandit revealed that he visited the site on Wednesday night and efforts are underway to apprehend the individuals involved.

Supreme Court to Review Kolkata Doctor’s Rape and Murder Case on March 17
Supreme Court of India

The Supreme Court of India, under the leadership of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, is scheduled to review the suo motu case concerning the rape and murder of a junior doctor from R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on March 17.

In August of the previous year, the Court addressed the tragic incident, emphasizing the critical need for enhanced safety measures for medical professionals nationwide. The Bench appealed to protesting doctors to resume their duties, assuring them of protection against any punitive actions related to their participation in the protests.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been actively probing the case. In October, they filed the initial charge sheet against Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer associated with Kolkata Police, implicating him in the heinous crime. The CBI‘s investigation suggests a potential broader conspiracy, highlighting concerns about evidence tampering during the early stages when the Kolkata Police were overseeing the investigation. Subsequently, two additional arrests were made: Sandip Ghosh, the former Principal of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal, the former Station House Officer of Tala Police Station. Both are accused of obstructing the investigation and tampering with evidence.

The upcoming hearing on March 17 will further address these developments, underscoring the Supreme Court‘s commitment to ensuring justice and reinforcing workplace safety for medical professionals across the country.

Note: For a comprehensive understanding, readers are encouraged to refer to official Supreme Court records and updates from the Central Bureau of Investigation.
