Postcard News  

Days after the founder of Postcard News Mahesh Vikram Hegde was arrested in the fake letter row relating to Karnataka home minister MB Patil, another journalist SA Hemanth Kumar has been held for questioning in the same issue. However, the BJP claims that the chief minister and the home minister are resorting to vindictiveness and vendetta, and are using the police machinery to suit their whims and fancies.

Mahesh Vikram Hegde, founder of Postcard News and a supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was arrested in Coorg, Karnataka, on April 24, based on a complaint filed by state home minister MB Patil in relation to a letter to Sonia Gandhi about a separate religion for Lingayats. However, BJP hit back saying why no arrests were made when Congress leaders Zameer Ahmed and Beluru Gopala Krishna issued statements against Modi in the most obnoxious manner.
