The arrested person is Hakim. The controversial audio was circulated on social media soon after Poojary said at an event at Kudroli shrine in December  that  Ram Mandir construction cannot be stopped by anyone and that it was the aspiration of Hindus, Muslims and Christians.

 Former MLA JR Lobo and many other leaders had lodged complaints then seeking action against the person responsible for circulating such an audio.
