Harsha murder case
Harsha was stabbed to death by a group of Muslim youths on the night of February 20 at Kamat petrol bunk in Karnataka’s Shivamogaa district. He was from Seegehatti and worked as a tailor. Harsha was associated with the Hindu organization Bajrang Dal, and he was spotted wearing saffron shawls to protest in support of the school and college dress regulations.
According to a friend of the Bajrang Dal activist, Harsha had been under observation for some weeks and the murder was a “well-planned plot.” Islamists reportedly threatened him in 2015 for allegedly ‘blasphemous’ social media posts.
The cold-blooded murder of the Bajrang Dal activist sparked widespread demonstrations, compelling the district government to enforce a curfew and close educational institutions.
People on social media were also outraged by the gruesome death of the Bajrang Dal activist. As sympathy for the slain Harsha came in, the hashtag #JusticeForHarsha trended on social media platforms. From Kangana Ranaut and Raveena Tondon to BJP officials and prominent people of society, everyone was outraged by the murder.
