A Bangladeshi infiltrator exposed for posing as a Hindu and making objectionable remarks about Prophet Muhammad !

  • For the past 11 years, Saniur Rahman had been living in Uttarakhand under the name ‘Satyanishtha Arya.’

  • He used to participate in programmes of pro-Hindutva organisations

Rishikesh (Uttarakhand) – Police investigation has revealed that the person with a tilak on his forehead, using a Hindu name ‘Satyanishtha Arya,’ making objectionable remarks about Mother Mary and Prophet Muhammad, is a Bangladeshi infiltrator. His real name is Saniur Rahman, and the police have arrested him. The Lallantop published a report on this.

According to the report, during Christmas 2025, Rahman misbehaved with a priest at a church. He is a resident of Baisadi, Madhukhali, Faridpur in Bangladesh, and it has been revealed that he has lived in Rishikesh since 2016 under the fake name ‘Satyanishtha Arya.’ On 18 April, Rishikesh police conducted a verification drive under ‘Operation Prahar.’ When they grew suspicious of Rahman and questioned him, the truth came to light.

During interrogation, it was found that Rahman had arrived in the Lakshman Jhula area just a day before his arrest. Before that, he had lived in several places, including Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Bengal. He had illegally entered India via Nepal. A Bangladeshi passport was found in his possession, which had expired in 2018. He was also collecting donations from people and was active on social media, posting videos under the name ‘Satyanishtha Arya,’ which received significant viewership. He would attend events of pro-Hindutva organisations and make objectionable remarks about Muslims and Christians. Last year, during Christmas, a video surfaced showing him entering a church in Ghaziabad and misbehaving with a priest. Police and other investigative agencies are gathering more information about him.

Editorial Perspective

  • Will the Islamic organizations that issued a “sar tan se juda” (beheading) fatwa against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma over the alleged insult to Prophet Muhammad now issue a similar fatwa against this infiltrator ? Or will they tolerate it because he is a Muslim ?
  • It must also be investigated how much information Saniur Rahman may have passed on to terrorists about pro-Hindutva individuals. This incident suggests the emergence of a new form of jihad, where Muslims assume Hindu identities. Are Hindus prepared to face such conspiracies ?
