Hyderabad: Hindu
religious leader Swami Kamlananda Bharati has been arrested for
allegedly making a hate speech against the Muslims, police here
said Monday.
Police said Monday that Bharati was arrested Sunday night in
Srisailam, about 250 km from here. He is being brought to
Hyderabad and would be produced before a court.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Hyderabad police took him
into custody with regard to the cases booked against him in Mir
Chowk and Dabeerpura police stations in the old city. The cases
were registered on complaints made by some Muslims.
The president of Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samithi, a committee
fighting for protection of Hindu temples, had allegedly made
offensive remarks at a rally in Hyderabad Jan 8.
The rally was organised to condemn Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM)
leader Akbaruddin Owaisi's hate speech against Hindus. Owaisi was
arrested last week.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other rightwing Hindu groups have
condemned Bharati's arrest. They alleged that he was arrested on
Sankranti day when he had gone to the pilgrim town of Srisaialam
for performing some rituals.
