Man who sent threat letters to Kannada intellectuals in custody

A right-wing activist in his late 20s has been arrested in Davanagere, India, for sending threat letters to Kannada writers and intellectuals over the past year. Shivaji Rao Jadhav, who confessed to writing to 15 individuals with what he claimed were anti-Hindu ideologies, is currently in police custody. The case was cracked by studying the handwriting and postal seals on the letters. Jadhav’s arrest has come as a shock to his family, who are unsure whether it was his idea or if he was provoked.
