Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Manikanta Narendra Rathod has been booked for a provocative video he posted on Facebook that went viral, sparking public outrage and raising alarm over communal tensions in Kalaburagi district.
In the video, Rathod, speaking in Lambani, refers to a recent rape case involving a Lambani girl allegedly committed by Muslim men and reportedly calls for mass killings in retaliation. He is heard saying those accused of “love jihad” should be killed within eight days and claims that if police were removed for 15 minutes, “all Muslims in the district could be massacred.”
