Mumbai:
Maharashtra Police Friday registered a case against Vishwa Hindu
Parishad (VHP) leader Praveen Togadia for allegedly making a hate
speech in Nanded against a community in January, a top police
official said.
"An FIR (first information report) has been registered against
Togadia for the alleged hate speech in Nanded last month. The
matter is under investigation," Maharashtra's Additional Director
General of Police (Law and Order) Ahmed Javed told IANS.
Political sources in Maharashtra said that the union home ministry
had asked the state government to confirm if VHP's international
general secretary Togadia made a hate speech against a community
in Bhokar town of Nanded district Jan 22.
"If Togadia's speech is found to be communal or offensive, action
will be taken against him. This is the standard procedure," Javed
said.
Togadia has been charged under Section 295A (deliberate and
malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings or any class
by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), Section 505
(statements conducing public mischief) and Section 153A (promoting
enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race,
place of birth, residence, language, etc).
On Jan 22, at a public meeting in Bhokar, Togadia allegedly took
pot shots at Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislator
Akbaruddin Owaisi for the latter's hate speech.
