FIR against Mallikarjun Mutya challenged in High Court
Allegations of child abuse by a religious leader should be a serious concern.
Mallikarjun Mutya, head of the Mahal Roja Mutt, has challenged an FIR registered against him by the Gogi Police for allegedly behaving improperly with a minor girl. The case was initiated after a video of the accused went viral, prompting the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights to seek action. Mutya's followers and devotees have urged the commission to withdraw the FIR, threatening protests if it does not. Meanwhile, other individuals, including MLC Tippannappa Kamaknur, are calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations.
