Home Minister G. Parameshwara said that strict action would also be taken against the person who was behind the alleged derogatory post against a Varanasi judge, who delivered the judgment in the Gyanavapi mosque case, while calling the accused “a habitual offender.”

The police arrested Chand Pasha, an advocate, following a complaint against him for his allegedly derogatory post against a Varanasi judge, which led to a clash between the two groups of advocates in Ramanagara.

The issued led to a verbal duel in the House on Tuesday with BJP members staging a protest demanding the suspension of the sub-inspector and strict action against Chand Pasha, who made the post.

Already, a probe has been ordered. Dy.SP Channapatna has initiated it. The suspension will also help the probe, the Minister said.
