A cleric of Ajmer Dargah in Rajasthan was arrested today after he allegedly offered on camera to gift his house to anyone who beheads suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on Prophet Mohammad had sparked a row.
Rajasthan Police were on the lookout for Salman Chishti after an FIR was registered on Monday night over a video clip.
In the video, the authenticity of which NDTV cannot verify, the cleric says he would give his house to anyone who brings Sharma's head to him. He is heard saying that he would have shot her dead for insulting the Prophet.
"You have to give a reply to all Muslim countries. I am saying this from Ajmer, Rajasthan and this message is from Huzur Khwaja Baba ka Darbar," he said in the video, referring to the Sufi shrine.
