Sedition case against Karnataka School for enacting anti-CAA play on Republic Day
Bidar: A case of sedition and breach of peace has been registered against an educational institution and its management committee following a complaint by local activist alleging that school children were made to play an anti-CAA act during republic day celebrations at the school.
Activist Neelesh Rakshyal, in his complaint filed at New Town Police Station has alleged that students at Shaheen School had tarnished the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a play against the CAA.
“The play…was posted on social media with the intention of promoting enmity between communities. The director and management of the Shaheen School have committed an act that is anti-national in nature by using the students,’’ the complaint alleged.
Police has registered the case under section 124A and 504 of Indian Penal Code.
“We have registered a case and are investigating. A play was enacted in the school where the CAA was projected in a bad light and was shown as forcing Muslims to leave the country. Constitutional authorities were also abused. The play was live streamed on Facebook by some persons. There are no arrests,” SP Bidar, L Sreedhara, said.
“A play was enacted by Class 4 students where the present situation in the country was depicted, where people are protesting every day. Some words were uttered in the drama and a sedition complaint has been filed. Over the last three days, police have been questioning the children about the play. It has been mental harassment of the students, teachers and parents on account of the sedition case,” Touseef Sab, an official of the school, was quoted as saying by Indian Express.
