Mangaluru, Oct 8: Bajpe police arrested social worker Sunil Bajilakeri on the accusation of insulting pregnant women using the face of a leopard. Sunil is accused of writing derogatory comments along with the post.

Sunil is accused of writing “When is the baby shower for cheetah from Namibia?” and posting the demeaning picture of a pregnant woman with the face of leopard. A woman from Edapadavu had filed complaint with the police saying that it is insult to pregnant women and Indian culture.

Sunil Bajilakeri has criticised BJP leaders on social media. This post was intended to taunt the cheetahs that were brought from Namibia by PM Modi. Earlier, Sunil was identified with Hindu organizations. Now he has come out from them and posts comments against BJP leaders and government everyday on social media.

Last year Sunil Bajilakeri was arrested in the case of twisting audio clip of interview of BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel. Sunil expressed rage over neglecting locals in employment at MRPL and wrote that ‘No more fighting for Hindutva, it will be only Bandhutva’. Sunil was taken to task by a woman activist of a Hindu organization, who is active on Facebook. The same girl had called Nalin Kumar Kateel in an interview conducted by a private TV channel of the city and appreciated the working style of Nalin. Later, the audio of the girl activist of Hindu organization in which she takes to task Sunil, was edited along with the interview of Nalin and was posted on social media. It was made to look as if the girl is taking Nalin to task in the live programme held by the private TV channel. That is why Sunil Bajilakeri was arrested. Now he is arrested in one more case.
