According to sources, multiple individuals, especially those associated with Hindu organizations, have received threats via social media platforms such as Instagram. Nageshwar, known for his involvement in various Hindu organizations, reported receiving intimidating messages and calls. One chilling message said, “Come to Shivajinagar, let’s see what happens,” and another read, “You won’t be spared, we’ll see.” The threats reportedly originate from multiple accounts, including ones named Beary makka, Team Revenge, Faizal Bajpe, Allahu Akbar, Faizal, and Cylinder Raj.

Adding to the tension, some Instagram pages have posted Nageshwar’s photos with controversial figures like Pramod Muthalik, implying a deeper and targeted motive. Muthalik, the leader of Sri Ram Sene, has himself been a controversial figure in Karnataka’s communal politics.

Nageshwar has decided to file a formal complaint today, urging the police to take swift action. This escalation comes amid heightened concerns following the twin murders of Suhas Shetty and Rahim, which have already stirred unrest in the coastal belt.
