The arrest of Shrikant Pujari in Karnataka, a 50-year-old man implicated in a case dating back 31 years during the Babri Masjid movement, has incited political controversy ahead of the Ram Mandir's inauguration.
His arrest, happening three decades after the initial alleged rioting incident, has triggered protests among Hindu groups in the district. Many are questioning the timing of Pujari's arrest, interpreting it as a political stratagem.
