The Story in Brief
The Times of India reports that the Central Crime Branch (CCB) registered a case against Santosh Kumar, a Dubai-based labourer from Mandya, after he posted a video claiming to have sent 25 Bangladeshi nationals to Bengaluru to target police and politicians. Kumar challenged the police to trace them, saying the men had no ID cards.
By evening, the CCB identified Kumar and contacted him. He deleted the original video and uploaded an apology, saying he was upset over inaction against Bangladeshis entering Bengaluru. Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said efforts are on to deport Kumar and arrest him. A separate case has been filed at Kikkeri police station.
The Indian Opinion
The video feeds a familiar panic: illegal immigrants running wild, police helpless. But the only evidence is one man's unsubstantiated boast. The accused promptly apologised once police contacted him, and no Bangladeshis have been found. The real test is whether the police can locate any of the 25 he claimed to have sent, or if this was just a bid for online notoriety from a Dubai labourer. Numbers will speak louder than the next viral threat.
