Cyber police seize phone used by Arjun Ayanki to post online threats
Cyber police in Kannur, India, seized a phone from Arjun Ayanki, who was arrested on August 9, 2026, on suspicion of posting threatening and abusive content on social media. The device was found hidden in a shoe rack near his apartment and is being examined as part of an investigation into alleged threats against police officers and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala. Ayanki claimed he used public Wi-Fi while traveling between Ernakulam and Kannur to upload the posts. A previous phone seized during his arrest was ruled out as the source of the social media activity. Police also searched Ayanki's home and interviewed family members. He remains in judicial custody and has not fully cooperated with interrogations.
A BSF jawan, Amarjit Singh, has been arrested for the murder of his wife, Rama, in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur district. The incident occurred on the night of August 13, according to local authorities. The family of the deceased was informed by the accused that Rama had fallen from the roof of their house and was hospitalized. When they arrived at the hospital, they discovered she was dead. The body showed signs of multiple injuries, prompting the family to accuse Amarjit of beating her to death. Amarjit, a resident of Shekhamatta village, was on leave from his duties as a border security force jawan. His wife, Rama, was found dead in Badhalian village, approximately 20 kilometers from Hoshiarpur city. Her father, Ram Chand, claimed that Amarjit had a history of domestic violence and frequently abused their daughter. He stated that the couple had been married for 12 years and had two children. According to Ram Chand, Amarjit had pushed them out of the house and often argued with Rama. Despite discussions in the panchayat, Amarjit failed to change his behavior. Ram Chand further alleged that Amarjit’s uncle and his wife were involved in the murder and attempted cover-up. He described Amarjit as an alcoholic who had been absent from home for extended periods due to his work. The family was staying with Rama when Amarjit returned, forcing them to leave. This led to frequent conflicts within the household. Following the discovery of Rama’s body, the family contacted the police. Hajipur police registered a murder case based on the complaint and arrested Amarjit Singh. Station House Officer Harprem Singh confirmed that the police were working to locate Amarjit’s relatives. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities seeking more information about the circumstances surrounding the incident. In a separate development, cyber police in Kerala have seized a phone and laptop used by Arjun Ayanki to post online threats. Ayanki was arrested on August 9, 2026, and the phone was found hidden in a shoe rack near his apartment. During questioning, Ayanki admitted to using public Wi-Fi networks while traveling from Ernakulam to Kannur to upload the messages. The police are analyzing the devices and digital evidence as part of the investigation. Earlier, another phone had been recovered from Ayanki’s possession, but it was determined that the social media posts were not originated from that device. The Cyber police conducted a search of Ayanki’s house in Kappakadavu, Azhikode, under the investigation into cases involving threats and abusive posts directed at police officers and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala. Inspector A. Anoop oversaw the search, which lasted around an hour. Statements were taken from Ayanki’s mother and his brother, Ajay Ayanki. Ayanki, currently in judicial custody at Thalassery sub-jail, was recently produced before the Thalassery Judicial Magistrate and remanded in police custody for three days for further interrogation. However, Ayanki has reportedly not been fully cooperative with the investigation. The police plan to take him to locations in Kannur where he allegedly stayed while evading arrest and collect additional evidence. Both incidents highlight the growing concerns regarding domestic violence and online harassment in India. While the investigations continue, the families involved await justice and clarity on the circumstances of these tragic events.
