A first information report (FIR) had been registered at the High Grounds Police station in Bengaluru in connection with the post and the two leaders were named in it. The investigating officer has issued the summons to them and they have been given a week to appear.

The controversial post contained a video showing the Congress favouring Muslims for reservation at the cost of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes, an allegation that has been made by several top BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the past few days.

The Karnataka chief electoral officer had asked the state BJP to take down the post and, when that failed, the Election Commission sent a notice to X on Tuesday to remove it.
