MYSURU: Three people, including a news contributor of a Kannada daily, in Shanivarasanthe town of Kodagu district were accused of replacing the original audio from “Ambedkar Zindabad” to “Pakistan Zindabad” in footage of a protest and uploading the clip on social media to show a group of women protesters in bad light.
Police registered an FIR on Saturday against the three for the video showing the women allegedly shouting pro-Pakistan slogans during a protest in front of Shanivarasanthe police station on November 12. The edited clip went viral, sparking tension in Kodagu district last week.
According to police, the women were protesting against the arrest of a few men, shouting ‘Ambedkar Zindabad’. The accused allegedly edited out the slogan and inserted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’. Claiming atrocities against Hindus, the trio called a bandh on November 15. Police found the video was edited.
