Mangaluru, Dec 14, 2025: The Kavoor police have arrested two persons for allegedly creating and circulating a video on social media in which one of them is seen dancing with a sword, an act that reportedly caused fear among the public.

Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H said that on December 13, a Facebook account named “Suresh Psy”, operated by Suresh (29), shared a story featuring a video of Ameer Suhail (28) dancing to a song while holding a sword. The video was uploaded with the caption “VIBES” along with a white heart emoji.

The Commissioner said the content, which was widely circulated on social media, had the potential to intimidate the public.

Based on this, the Kavoor police registered a case under Section 352(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Sections 4 and 25(1)(a) of the Indian Arms Act, and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act.

Both Suresh and Ameer Suhail have been arrested. Police have seized the sword used in the video and the mobile phones used to record and share the content on social media.

Ameer Suhail (28) is a resident of Bunder, Mangaluru, while Suresh (29) hails from Urundadigudde, Kavoor, Mangaluru.

The arrests were made by a team led by Kavoor Police Inspector Raghavendra M Baindoor under the guidance of Mangaluru North Sub-Division ACP Shrikanth K, with Police Sub-Inspector Mallikarjuna Biradar and other staff members.
