AIMIM leader moves court against Rahul, says pet dog's name 'Noorie' hurts his religious sentiment
Prayagraj (PTI): An AIMIM leader has approached a local court here against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for gifting a dog named Noorie to his mother Sonia Gandhi, saying the name hurts his religious sentiments.
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Mohammad Farhan said the dog's name has hurt his religious sentiments as the word 'Noorie' is specifically related to Islam, and also finds a mention in Quran.
Office of the judicial magistrate has confirmed that the AIMIM leader has approached the court.
Speaking to PTI, Farhan's lawyer Mohammad Ali said they approached the court of Judical Magisrate Aviral Singh on Monday seeking to lodge an FIR against Rahul Gandhi under IPC Section 295 A (hurting religious sentiments).
The lawyer said the AIMIM leader came to know about the dog's name from various newspapers, Rahul Gandhi's Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Farhan had advised Rahul Gandhi through news channels and newspapers to change the dog's name and apologise publicly, but it had no effect on him, the lawyer said.
He said that the court has summoned Farhan on November 8 to record his statement. After going through the complaint, the court can summon Rahul Gandhi, the lawyer said.
Rahul Gandhi had earlier posted a video of gifting a dog to his mother Sonia Gandhi on World Animal Day.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
