Karnataka police on Monday arrested a Hindu youth on charges of posting objectionable, indecent posts on goddess Cauvery and women in Kodagu district.

The arrested youth has been identified as Divin Devaiah, a resident of Kedamulluru in Virajpet taluk in Kodagu district.

According to police, the accused had opened a fake account in the name of a Muslim youth and posted insulting messages about goddess Cauvery whom the local Kodava community worship as their deity.

He had also targeted women belonging to the Kodava community in his derogatory posts.

Various organisations had given bandh calls condemning the posts. Following the arrest, the bandh call was withdrawn.

Interestingly, the state police had to take the help of Mumbai police to crack the case.

The Mumbai police had got inputs from California about the fake FB account and passed them on to Karnataka police.
