According to the chargesheet submitted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in the case, a minor street argument that started following verbal abuse and staring resulted in the death of a 22-year-old food delivery boy in Bengaluru in April.
After Home Minister Araga Jayendra said the kid was slain because he did not know Urdu, the murder had sparked a political uproar.
Later, after the Karnataka police released a fact-check claiming that there was no connection between the murder and the use of Urdu, he withdrew his comments.
Chandru V, a resident of Bengaluru’s Jaiheem Nagar, off Mysuru Road, was murdered on April 5 as detailed in the chargesheet submitted by the police on June 30. When Chandru V and his friend Simon Raj went to a chicken roll restaurant in Chamanjeet at 2.15 in the morning, they discovered it was closed. When Shahid, alias “Narrow”, passed by and questioned Simon about abusing him, they stopped at a local bakery, according to the chargesheet.
Raj urged him to leave and denied hitting him. Raj entered the bakery as Shahid and Chandru were having a disagreement.
Shahid was knocked to the ground by Raj after he emerged from the bakery. Shahid yelled at them and told them to summon anyone for a fight. The chargesheet said, “Shahid then requested Raj to communicate in Urdu as he did not know Kannada.”
Then, Raj and Chandru were attacked by Shahid and his companions, Shahid alias “Gena,” Mohammed Nabeel, and a 17-year-old, who stabbed Chandru in the thigh with a knife.
The accused were taken into custody.
Following the incident, it was widely believed that Chandru was slain because he couldn’t speak Urdu, according to Home Minister Araga Jnanendra.
The Karnataka police refuted this in a fact check that was posted on their official website without mentioning the Home Minister.
Even while other BJP officials kept repeating it and calling former Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant a liar, the minister later withdrew his statement.
Simon was originally quoted by Hindustan Times as saying that the April incident’s bike collision served as the pretext for the attack.

In Mangalore, hundreds turn out for a Campus Front convention in Favour of the hijab.
On Saturday in Mangalore’s Dakshina Kannada district, the Campus Front of India (CFI) hosted a meeting in support of the hijab being worn at educational institutions that drew hundreds of women. The protesters shouted “Inquilab Zindabad” and “Hijab is our right,” and they also performed a play in which they mocked Raghupathy Bhat, a BJP lawmaker from Udupi, for his anti-hijab comments.
Despite the conference taking place, the CFI was not given approval for a rally that was scheduled to take place from Jyothi Circle to the city’s Town Hall, according to Mangalore commissioner N Shashi Kumar. Speaking at the meeting were the six Udupi Womens’ Pre-University College students who initiated the protest to demand the right to wear the hijab in Karnataka.
According to Fathima Usman, a member of the CFI State Committee, prohibitions on the hijab are a form of persecution for Muslim female students. She asserted, “We are descendants of Tipu Sultan and Dr. BR Ambedkar’s supporters.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court of India decided to list the petitions concerning the wearing of the hijab in class issue for the next week.
The petitioners filed an appeal in response to the Karnataka High Court Special Bench’s decision to reject requests for an order allowing the wearing of hijabs in classrooms in March of this year. A bench made up of Chief Justice NV Ramana, Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli took note of Prashant Bhushan’s claims that the case had been filed in the past but hadn’t yet been scheduled for hearing.
Additionally, the Special Bench noted that wearing the headscarf is not a requirement for practicing Islam. The government of Karnataka has forbidden the use of any religious symbols in classrooms and given college administrators the authority to set their own norms.
