The Delhi Police has closed a case of alleged hate speech in Delhi. In an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court by South East Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police Isha Pandey, Delhi Police said that no hate speech was delivered during the Dharam Sansad held on December 19, 2021, in Delhi.
The Delhi Police said in the affidavit filed in the Supreme Court that there was no incitement against Muslims at the events.
During their investigation, the police found that the specifics of religions were discussed but no hate speech was delivered against any community.
Southeast Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police Isha Pandey said in her affidavit that two persons, SQR Ilyas and Faisal Ahmed, had lodged a complaint of hate speeches. They said that in December last year, at a procession organized by Hindu Yuva Vahini at Banarsidas Chandiwala auditorium near Govindpuri metro station, the sentiments of the people were instigated through hate speeches. This caused panic in the area.
After taking cognizance of the matter, the police started a thorough investigation and found that there was no statement against any particular community anywhere in the video clip of the Delhi incident.
Therefore, after a thorough search and investigation and evaluation of the purported video clip, the police concluded that the alleged speech did not contain hate speech against any particular community. Therefore, the police completed the investigation of all the complaints and found them to be baseless and stopped further proceedings and proceedings.
The Supreme Court had earlier summoned the action-taken report from the Delhi Police on Wednesday during the last hearing. In his reply, this affidavit has been filed.
