Mr Vinod Bhuran, a devout Hindu from Chiplun and Mr Abhinav Bhuran, ‘Taluka-President’, MNS went to the Chiplun Police Station and brought the issue regarding objectionable matter posted on social media, to the notice of the deputy regional Police Officer and Police Inspector. The Police were initially trying to avoid registering a case, but the news spread in the area and many devout Hindu activists gathered at the Police Station and asked the Police to register cases against the involved persons. Only after pressurising them, did the Police register the case lodged by Mr Abhinav Bhuran. Later, the Police took Mubarak Kheradkar and Faqruddin Nisar Juvekar, into custody for interrogation and filed a case against seven persons.
In Dapoli, four fanatics taken into custody after Hindus became aggressive !
The enraged citizens gathered near the equestrian statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj at ‘Kelaskar Naka’ on the issue of the objectionable post. They took out a march from Kelaskar Naka to the Police Station to protest against the post. They even stopped the Police vehicle in protest, demanding that the concerned religious fanatics should apologise to people. The enraged Hindus also asked the Police to hand over the concerned fanatics to them for doing justice. Hindus demanded to take legal action against the involved and find a solution to prevent the repetition of such incidents in Dapoli. Police took four religious fanatics into custody when they observed that Hindus had not calmed down even after three hours. The four fanatics were made to apologise and raise slogans of ‘Jai Shriram’ and ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai’; after which the mob calmed down a little. Police Officer Nilesh Mainkar and Police Inspector Vivek Ahire assured the people of taking action against the culprits. Additional Police force has been deployed in Dapoli due to the prevailing tense condition.
Do not post objectionable matter on social media ! – Appeal by PI Mahesh Toraskar, Ratnagiri CityThe City PI Mahesh Toraskar said that an objectionable post by one person can lead to communal disharmony and affect law and order in the area. Cases have been filed against the accused and necessary action will be taken against them. It is an appeal to people to refrain from posting such matter on social media. If there were such posts, people should get help from the Police, but nobody should take the law into their own hands. A complaint should be filed with the Police and the Police will certainly take action. Editorial Perspective Fanatics never pay heed to such appeals. Please note that only Hindus follow Police advice. |
