VHP Protests Goonda Act Use and Notice to RSS Leader in Murder Case
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has criticized the Karnataka state government and police for invoking the Goonda Act against Hindu activists linked to the May 27, 2025, murder of Abdul Rahiman and issuing a notice to senior RSS leader Dr. Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat. The VHP alleges political targeting and harassment of Hindu leaders, calling for a 'BC Road Chalo' protest on September 28 to oppose these actions. Authorities have invoked the Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act (KCOCA) against several accused, including Bajrang Dal activists, while some accused were recently granted bail.
