According to a senior police official, taking cognisance of a video and a tweet that have the potential of causing disaffection among communities, a case under sections 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) of the IPC has been registered at the Parliament Street police station for holding out a threat to a speaker in a video that surfaced earlier.
The FIR against Narsinghanand was registered on Saturday on a complaint from Khan for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims. The AAP MLA had uploaded a video on social media, informing that he had submitted a complaint against Narsinghanand to the police. Khan had said, “The appeal is to take strict action against this impudence.
People like Narsinghanand are not fit to live in the society. These people are spoiling the atmosphere of the country.” In a video circulating on social media, Narsinghanand is seen uttering blasphemous words against Islam. The video was purportedly shot during an event at the Press Club.
