He was angered by her post on people engaging in superstitious activities. Prabha is the state secretary of the Bharatiya Gyan Vijyan Samiti (BGVS). Bhat has written for Kannada newspapers, but is not a journalist. Bhat had immediately apologised, and deleted his comment from Prabha's Facebook page, but someone had taken screen shots of his comment and these were widely shared on social media.
