BJP trying to mislead SIT in Dharmasthala probe: CPM
Mangaluru: The BJP is fabricating charges against leftists to mislead the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) probe into alleged unnatural deaths and burial of bodies in Dharmasthala, said Muneer Katipallam, CPM Dakshina Kannada district secretary. "The SIT is carrying out its investigation without yielding to external pressures. Frustrated by this, BJP has stepped in to divert attention and tarnish the reputation of activists," Muneer said, responding to allegations made by BJP district president Sathish Kumpala. Muneer accused the BJP of trying to label Left parties, who have been fighting against atrocities in Dharmasthala for decades, as anti-religious by fabricating false narratives. Muneer pointed out that the BJP had stayed silent on several unnatural deaths reported in Dharmasthala since the 1980s, often acting against public protests, while the Left had consistently stood by people's struggles. "Failing to fulfil its responsibility as the opposition, the BJP has chosen political betrayal," he said. SIT's patient investigation, unaffected by any influence, is being met with growing public outrage against the oppressive system. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "Disturbed by this, the BJP deployed its leaders, using religious sentiments as a weapon. They are making absurd accusations that leftist movements, who are standing with the common people in Dharmasthala, are anti-religious. The CPM firmly opposes this low-level political strategy of the BJP and will unite all pro-people movements to intensify the struggle," he added. SDPI Stages Protest The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) Belthangady unit staged a protest in front of the Belthangady Taluk Office on Friday, condemning the assault on YouTubers in Dharmasthala. SDPI Mangaluru Rural district president Anwar Sadath Bajathur alleged the attack was pre-planned and part of a larger conspiracy to divert attention from the probe.

Malayalam actor Minu Muneer arrested by Kochi Cyber Police over defamation complaint, later granted bail
Kochi (Kerala) [India], July 2 (ANI): Malayalam actor Minu Muneer was arrested by the Kochi Cyber Police following a defamation complaint filed by veteran filmmaker and actor Balachandra Menon. The arrest stems from allegations Muneer made on social media, which Menon claimed were defamatory in nature. She was released on bail shortly after being taken into custody. The Kerala High Court had earlier dismissed her anticipatory bail plea. She is the first accused in the case, which was registered in 2024. She reportedly made repeated derogatory posts about him on social media. Minu Muneer also filed a complaint against actor and MLA M Mukesh, who represents the Kollam Assembly constituency and is a leader of the CPI(M). Meanwhile, the arrest marks a new development in a controversy that has roiled the Malayalam film industry in recent months. In a series of social media posts and subsequent interviews, Muneer had publicly accused several prominent industry figures of sexual misconduct and abuse during their professional collaborations. In August last year, Muneer named actors Mukesh, Jayasurya, Maniyanpilla Raju, and Idavela Babu, alleging both verbal and physical harassment. She also mentioned Advocate Chandrasekharan, production controller Noble, and an individual named Vichu. 'I am writing to report a series of incidents of physical and verbal abuse I suffered at the hands of Mukesh, Maniyanpilla Raju, Idavela Babu, Jayasoorya, Advocate Chandrasekharan, production controller Noble and Vichu, in the Malayalam film industry,' she wrote, claiming the incidents forced her to leave the Malayalam film industry and shift to Chennai. In a detailed account given to ANI, Muneer expanded on her allegations. 'Once, as I was coming out from the toilet, Jayasurya hugged me from behind and even kissed me forcefully... After that, Idavela Babu expressed his interest in a sexual relationship with me,' she said. She also accused actor-producer Maniyanpilla Raju of making inappropriate suggestions about her hotel stay during a film shoot, describing his behaviour as 'unprofessional and unsettling.' The incidents she referred to reportedly date back to 2013. The allegations surfaced in the wake of growing dissent within the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), following unrelated controversies that led to the resignations of director Ranjith and actor Siddique from their posts in the organisation.
