Woman booked for displaying provocative posters at Freedom Park protest in Bengaluru
A woman displayed provocative posters and shouted slogans at a Freedom Park protest in Bengaluru on July 24, 2025.
The protest was organised by Karnataka Vidyarthi Sangatane (KVS) to condemn a lathicharge on students in Delhi and demand the resignation of former Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The posters contained messages supporting Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, who are held under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and included a slogan against police.
Police identified the woman through CCTV footage; Upparpet police registered a case under Section 192 of the Indian Penal Code (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause a riot).
