Two Bajrang Dal leaders booked in UP over 'derogatory' remarks on Prophet Muhammad
Pilibhit (UP) (PTI): A case has been lodged against two leaders of right-wing outfit Bajrang Dal over their alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad during a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit, police said.
The accused have been identified as Sanjay Mishra and Vivek Mishra, they added.
According to the complainant filed by Afzal Khan, the incident occurred on October 13 in Madhotanda town here.
"It has been alleged in the complaint that during the meeting, the Bajrang Dal leaders Sanjay Mishra and Vivek Mishra delivered speeches that were perceived as inflammatory and offensive to the Muslim community," said Circle Officer Puranpur Vishal Chaudhary.
Angered by the "derogatory" remarks, few people of the Muslim community gathered in Madhotanda town to condemn the incident. However, local authorities intervened and pacified the situation and assured them of appropriate action.
A purported video of the speeches made by the duo went viral on internet.
The police have registered an FIR based on Khan's written complaint and the viral video of the incident, the CO said, adding that the matter is being investigated.

No 'bacterial infection' found in bodies of 4 Mumbai family members who died after eating watermelon
Mumbai (PTI): The initial report submitted by the microbiology department of a Mumbai-based state-run hospital has said no "bacterial infection" was detected in the bodies of four family members, who died after consuming watermelon recently, officials said on Wednesday.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am (on April 26), hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
After the incident, Mumbai police, forensic experts and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials visited the house and had collected samples of every food item that constituted the family's last meal, including 'chicken pulav', watermelon, water, and other foodstuffs, and sent them to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis.
After the post-mortem of the deceased, their viscera was preserved for chemical analysis.
As the probe is underway, the microbiology department of the state-run J J Hospital has submitted its initial report to the police.
"As per the report, no bacterial infection has been detected so far in the bodies of the victims. No bacteria was found in their blood," the official said.
The exact cause of the death will be known once the forensic science lab submits its report, he said.
"The report will also clarify whether any food items consumed by the family members during the day contained anything poisonous," the official said.
