Bantwal: Complaints have been filed against Sharan Pumpwell, Bharat Kumdelu and Yashodar Karbettu at the Bantwal police station. They are accused of disrupting peace and promoting communal tensions through blasphemous and provocative statements.
The allegations stem from their participation in the Bajrang Dal-VHP's BC Road Chalo event held in front of the Rakteshwari Temple on BC Road on September 16.
Muhammad Rafeeq, a resident of Bantwal lower town, in his complaint said that their speeches aimed to incite hatred between Hindus and Muslims and that the video of the event was circulated on social media. In a separate case, Muhammad Nawaz has lodged a complaint against Yashodhar Karbettu, accusing him of insulting the Muslim religion and issuing threats. The Bantwal police station has registered both cases and is investigating further.
