Claim: Tippu Sultan was Jihadi ; He massacred, raped, and converted Hindus to Islam – Karnataka High Court.
Fact-check: Karnataka High court has not declared Tippu Sultan a Jihadi or rapist as claimed in this post - FACTLY
Verdict: while hearing a pil questioning the karnataka state government's decision to celebrate tippu jayanthi back in 2016, the then cj subhro kamal mukherjee opined that 'tippu was not a freedom fighter, but a monarch who fought the opponents to safeguard his interests.' the karnataka high court did not make any remarks related to tippu sultan's atrocities against hindus. however, the court disposed of the petition after arguments. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
