NDTV
According to news agency PTI, in the video the man says he is Naresh Kumar Suryavanshi and identifies himself as a member of the right-wing group Bajrang Dal
A man can be heard hurling vile abuses at the staff at a biryani joint in Delhi's Sant Nagar on Diwali night in a shocking video, and harassing them into shutting down the restaurant. As they do so, they are also threatened with fire; "It will catch fire..." the man warns.
Delhi Police has begun an inquiry after the video was widely shared on social media, but the accused has still not been identified or arrested. A case under IPC Section 295A ('deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting religion or religious beliefs') has been filed.
"No PCR call or complaint has been received at the Burari Police Station as of now... however, facts are being verified and legal action will be taken as per the law," DCP (North), Sagar Singh Kalsi, said.
In the nearly three-minute long video the man (never seen on camera) first refers to the restaurant - located on a busy street - saying "is this a Muslim area? Look at them sitting there."
