Karnataka BJP MLA SR Vishwanath has sparked controversy in the state assembly with his remarks regarding migration and crime in Bengaluru. Representing Yelahanka, Vishwanath suggested that migrant criminals should be shot above the legs, stating, “Why shoot at their legs? Shoot a little above.” This comment has elicited strong reactions from various quarters.

His statements come in light of recent criminal activities linked to individuals from outside Karnataka, specifically those from Nepal and Bihar. Vishwanath referenced a recent attack by Nepali nationals on locals and a series of murders during Holi celebrations involving migrants from Bihar, questioning why such individuals seemed to receive leniency.

“Why just shoot at their right leg? Let it go a little above,” he directed toward the home minister during the assembly session.

In recent months, there has been an increase in reported crimes attributed to migrants, raising concerns about public safety. Over the Holi festivities, three individuals from Bihar were discovered murdered at a construction site on the outskirts of the city. Additionally, two groups of Nepali migrants engaged in violent clashes in a local park.

Bengaluru, known for its cultural diversity, is home to a significant migrant population, with nearly half of its residents coming from outside Karnataka.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
