Hindu Veer Sena chief arrested for hate speech against Muslims and Bangladeshis
Ghaziabad: Satyam Pandit, the Chief of the Hindu right-wing organization Hindu Veer Sena, has been arrested by the Ghaziabad police after a video of him delivering a hate speech went viral on social media. In the video, Pandit is seen inciting violence against Muslims and calling for the expulsion of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshis from India within 72 hours. He also threatened to cut off the beards of Muslims and beat them with sticks.
The arrest took place on Sunday, and Pandit was subsequently produced in court, where he was remanded to judicial custody. The video, which allegedly responded to purported atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, shows Pandit confronting police officers and using abusive language.
In a peculiar incident, Pandit's associates recorded a video of him being taken to the magistrate's court in a private car without handcuffs, showcasing his influence despite being in police custody.
In a related incident, Bhupendra Chowdhury alias Pinki, associated with the Hindu Raksha Dal, and his supporter Badal alias Hariom were ordered to 14 days of judicial custody for allegedly assaulting residents near a railway station and destroying their shanties, claiming they were Bangladeshi infiltrators. The attack took place on Friday near the Guldhar railway police station, under the jurisdiction of Madhuban Bapudham police station.
Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra stated that efforts are underway to identify and arrest more individuals involved in the attacks.
An FIR has been filed against Chowdhury and 20 others for rioting, inciting religious hatred, and other offences. Some residents were reportedly injured in the attack, which occurred around 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
