Case against Surya over 'fake news'

BENGALURU South BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has been booked by Haveri police along with two others for sharing a "fake" report related to a farmer's suicide and linking it to Waqf row on social media.

Rudrappa Balikayi, 24, died by suicide in 2022 at Haranagiri village in Haveri district.

The MP shared the "fake" report published by two Kannada digital media platforms on his social media account on Thursday, stating that it was the first death in Haveri due to Waqf row. Local police issued a clarification the same day that the news is false and the farmer ended his life for other reasons.
