**VHP Activist Arrested for Inflammatory Speech in Karnataka**
**MANGALURU, May 28, 2025** – Bhujang Kulal, a VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) activist, was arrested by police on Tuesday in connection with a case filed at the Bajpe police station. The arrest stems from an inflammatory speech Mr. Kulal allegedly delivered during a VHP public meeting held in Bajpe on May 25th.
The meeting was organized to demand a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the May 1st murder of Suhas Shetty, a former Bajrang Dal activist and accused in a double murder case.
According to police reports, the Bajpe police registered a suo moto case against the organizers of the May 25th gathering for proceeding without obtaining necessary police clearances. Mr. Kulal, along with another speaker, Shrikant Shetty, faces charges related to inciting unrest, including unlawful assembly, rioting, obstructing public ways, and criminal intimidation. The charges fall under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Karnataka Police Act.
Mr. Kulal’s counsel, Kishore Kumar, confirmed that a bail application has been filed. Police are currently searching for Shrikant Shetty, who is also implicated in the case.
