Mangaluru dietician booked for anti-national remarks

In a separate case in Karnataka, police in Mangaluru have registered a case against a city-based dietician, Atifa, for allegedly posting anti-national and anti-Hindu remarks on social media. The post recently went viral, prompting swift action.
Mangaluru Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal said the woman’s mobile phone was seized for forensic analysis. “We contacted the hospital where she worked and have begun legal proceedings under relevant sections of the BNS,” he said.
The action follows another FIR filed earlier this week against a Facebook user ‘Nichchu Mangaluru’ for allegedly justifying the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
Police have said that digital evidence in both cases is being analysed and further legal action will depend on forensic results.
