Mangaluru, May 30: A Facebook post from the account "Sharan Pumpwell Mangalore" has come under scrutiny. The post claimed that people were deliberately performing Namaz near Kankanady to inconvenience others, warning that the Bajrang Dal would take direct action if Namaz was performed at the same location again on Friday.
The case was registered based on the observation that the post was intended to incite hatred and create fear by taking the law into one's own hands. As the post could potentially disrupt communal harmony, a case was filed, according to the details in the FIR.
The police submitted a ‘B’ report indicating that there was no intent to disrupt traffic by the Namaz. The Kadri police inspector who registered the Suo Moto case without informing senior officers has been placed on compulsory leave. An ACP-grade official has been assigned to investigate the matter.
