A video of Sri Kalleshwara Swamy’s chariot, situated in Nitturpur village under the Gubbi police station area of Tumkur district of Karnataka, set ablaze, is viral on social media. Onlookers can be seen apprehending a person in the video. The official handle of BJP Karnataka tweeted the video with the claim that the motive behind the act of arson was attacking Hindus, similar to the way “Khilji, Ghazni and Ghori” had done in the past. The BJP also claimed that the act was a result of the Congress government’s ‘favouritism’. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Postcard Kannada posted a graphic which includes images of the burnt chariot. The Kannada text in the graphic translates to, “Miscreants set fire to the 800-year-old Sri Kalleswara Swamy temple chariot at Nittur in Tumkur district. The more the Hindus keep silent, the more their laughter increases.” Postcard News is founded by Mahesh Vikram Hegde and Vivek Shetty. The former was arrested<\/a> in 2019 in Karnataka for spreading misinformation. In the past, Alt News had exposed how Postcard is a serial fake news purveyor<\/a>\u00a0and unfortunately\u00a0supported<\/a>\u00a0by many senior BJP leaders.<\/p>\n

The graphic was posted both on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n
