BJP MP Tejasvi Surya and editors of two Kannada news portals have been booked for spreading false information that a farmer’s death was connected to a Waqf land dispute.
A farmer named Rudrappa Channappa Balikai in Karnataka’s Haveri district allegedly committed suicide after his land was “taken over” by the Waqf board, according to a post on X posted by Tejasvi Surya that has since been deleted.
Additionally, Surya accused Minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of creating “catastrophic effects” that are distressing the state’s farmers.
