The Hindu
Charged for Haridwar hate speech and derogatory remark against women, says Uttarakhand DGP.
Hindu priest Yati Narsighnanad alias Deepak Tyagi was on January 15 arrested by the Uttarakhand Police in two separate cases — the in which calls were made for genocide against Muslims, and another case registered recently for derogatory remarks against women, according to the State Director General of Police (DGP) Ashok Kumar.
The arrest comes days after the Supreme Court sent a notice to the Centre, the Uttarakhand Police and the Delhi Police to respond to petitions that people accused of delivering hate speeches at a “Dharm Sansad” (religious conclave) organised in Haridwar had not been arrested yet. The case is expected to come up for hearing later this week.
