After UP, FIR against Yati Narsinghanand in Thane for hate speech

The case in Thane was filed following a complaint by the president of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).

The FIR charges Narsinghanand with promoting enmity between different groups, imputations prejudicial to national integration, deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings, and intentionally uttering words to wound the religious sentiments of another person.

While no arrests have been made in connection with the case, Narsinghanand is already facing multiple cases over his inflammatory remarks.

In addition to the FIR in Thane, another case has been registered against the priest in Amravati, Maharashtra, following violent protests sparked by his remarks. These protests resulted in injuries to police personnel and damage to property.

Narsinghanand’s controversial statements have led to widespread protests and condemnation from various religious and political groups.

The Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned his “blasphemous” remarks and demanded his immediate arrest. The organization has urged Muslims to maintain calm and counter such provocations with wisdom and dignity.
