Bengaluru: Two arrested for abusing actor Ramya online; 11 more identified
The arrests were made based on a complaint filed by Ramya earlier this week.
Addressing reporters, Singh said 11 more individuals have been identified for their direct involvement in posting 'abusive content online" and will be arrested soon.
Ramya, aka Divya Spandana, met the Commissioner on July 28 to file a complaint against 43 social media accounts for sending her obscene messages, along with 'rape and death threats".
The online abuse began after she shared a news report on July 24 about the Renukaswamy murder case proceedings in the Supreme Court, in which she demanded justice for the victim's family. Kannada actor Darshan is a prime accused in the case.
Following a verification process, the CCB, along with the social media monitoring team, identified 13 accounts that were actively involved in the abuse, Singh said.
The two arrested individuals hail from neighbouring districts, he added.
When asked whether the accused were fans of actor Darshan, the Commissioner said that aspect was still under investigation.
'CCB and cybercrime police are actively working on the case," he said.
Meanwhile, Ramya took to 'X' on Saturday to thank Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara, the Bengaluru Police Commissioner, and the entire CCB team for their swift action.
'The Bangaluru city police have taken a firm stand against misogynistic aggression. Legal action has been initiated," she posted.
The message is clear, Ramya said. 'It is difficult to escape the hand of the law when it comes to protecting women's dignity and ensuring their safety in our city." PTI JR SSK

BJP leader Tejasvi Surya on Sunday announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Bengaluru and inaugurate the Yellow Line Metro on August 10. Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for Metro Phase-3, he said. In a post on 'X', Surya said, 'Hon. PM Sri @narendramodi Ji's visit to Bengaluru on August 10 will be a landmark moment for Bengaluru South.

Sanjay Singh moves Suspension of Business notice in Rajya Sabha, seeks debate on SSC exam irregularities
New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Monday moved a notice under Rule 267, demanding suspension of business in the upper house of Parliament to discuss the alleged discrepancies in conduct of the Staff Selection Commission ( SSC ) Selection Post Phase-13 exam, which has led to "damaging of the public trust" in the government organisation, seeking an independent and impartial review of the examination process. "In this examination conducted for various government posts, widespread technical failures such as software cache, errors in biometric verification and sudden cancellation of scheduled examinations have come to the fore. As a result of these failures, the candidates have had to face a situation of great chaos. In protest against this, thousands of students across the country, especially in Delhi, are taking to the streets demanding accountability and justice. This situation is seriously damaging the public's trust in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), one of the major recruitment bodies of the country," the notice read.

"In the last decade, incidents like cancellation of examination, technical glitches and question paper leak have occurred repeatedly, affecting lakhs of candidates of the country. From SSC and UPSC to state-level examinations and teacher eligibility tests, integrity and transparency in public selection processes have been repeatedly compromised," the notice read. Singh argued that the uncertainty around the examination affects the mental health of the students, who also suffer financial losses. Live Events "A state of frustration, helplessness, anxiety and depression has arisen. The uncertainty of rescheduling or re-evaluation of exams has also disrupted their academic and professional lives. They are also suffering financial losses because they are not getting the return on the investment made in travel, accommodation and exam preparation," the AAP leader said. "This administrative inefficiency and technical negligence is a direct betrayal of the principles of fairness. When the system tolerates inefficiency and remains silent on negligence, the faith in honesty and hard work among the youth begins to waver, which has far-reaching adverse effects on the country's human resources and institutional credibility," the notice read. Earlier, Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal criticised Delhi Police for unleashing a lathicharge on students and teachers protesting at Jantar Mantar against the alleged irregularities in the SSC examination. The AAP said the BJP-led Modi government has once again exposed its dictatorial mindset by mercilessly beating those who dared to raise questions about their future. Kejriwal on Friday called it a direct assault on the dreams and aspirations of India's youth.
