BJP worker commits suicide after arrest over remark on CM's legal advisor

Bengaluru, Apr 4 (UNI) A 35-year-old BJP worker allegedly committed suicide in Bengaluru on Friday, days after being arrested in connection with a social media post concerning Congress MLA and legal advisor to the Chief Minister AS Ponnanna.
The deceased, identified as Vinay Somaiah, a native of Kodagu district, reportedly ended his life at the BJP office in HBR Layout under the Hennur police station limits.
Somaiah was arrested two months ago following a complaint lodged by Congress worker Tennera Maina over a comment shared in a WhatsApp group of which Vinay was the administrator. The Madikeri police registered an FIR against three individuals, including Vinay, under relevant sections of the IPC and IT Act. He was later released on bail, and the High Court had reportedly stayed the investigation.
