Delhi Police has registered 2 more FIRs in the hate speech case. Out of this, the names of 32 people including AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi and Swami Yeti Narasimhanand are included in the FIR. On the other hand, the second FIR has been registered against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. Delhi Police said that a case has been registered against Nupur Sharma under various sections. Some of these sections are non-bailable. In such a situation, it is believed that now Nupur Sharma can be arrested.
Police has also issued a notice to social media platforms seeking information in the case of hate speech. Delhi Police has appealed that such posts should be avoided, which can spoil the atmosphere.
No mention of crime in FIR: Owaisi
AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has reacted to the FIR registered against him. He said that I have seen such an FIR for the first time, in which the crime is not mentioned. We are not afraid of this. We will consult our lawyers and resolve it if needed.
AIMIM workers had demonstrated
Former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma recently gave a controversial statement about Prophet Mohammad. Owaisi had announced a protest at Jantar Mantar, objecting to Nupur’s statement. Delhi Police did not allow this. Even after this, 25-30 women workers of AIMIM reached the Sansad Marg police station to protest, who have been taken into custody by the police. Now the police have registered a case against Owaisi under sections 153, 295 and 505 of IPC.
Delhi Police preparing to send notice
Delhi Police had earlier also registered an FIR against 8 people in the case of hate speech. The names of former BJP spokesperson Naveen Jindal, journalist Saba Naqvi, Shadab Chauhan, Maulana Mufti Nadeem, Abdur Rehman, Gulzar Ansari, Anil Kumar Meena and Pooja Shakun were included. Now Delhi Police is preparing to send notices to these people for questioning.
Former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma had made objectionable remarks against Prophet Mohammad in a TV debate. Some people on social media also commented on Prophet Muhammad. When the dispute escalated over this, the Delhi Police started action.
