An FIR was registered against Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje on Wednesday for allegedly posting a fake photo and spreading false information about clashes in the Nagamangala town of Mandya in Karnataka. The development came days after Karandlaje posted photos on X, accusing the Mandya Police of “arresting” a Lord Ganesh idol.
In her post, the minister also claimed that stones and sandals were hurled at the idol during the procession.
The case against her alleges that the photo Karandlaje posted was unrelated to the incident and her “provocative statements” could potentially disrupt public order.
