Mumbai:
Provoked by an allegedly objectionable content on a social
networking site, a spontaneous bandh is called on Thursday in
Bhiwandi - the textile city some 50 kms from here. Local
police promised stern action against the culprits.
"The bandh call is spontaneous and
it was announced yesterday night after it was observed that some
objectionable content has been posted on social networking site
Facebook", local MLA Rasheed Tahir Momin said while talking to
ummid.com.
"The bandh is supported by people
from all communities including Hindus and Muslims and is totally
peaceful", he added.
Meanwhile, a case was registered
against unidentified persons under section 295 (injuring or defiling
place of worship) of Indian Penal Code and section 67-a of the
Information Technology Act, at police stations in Bhiwandi city,
Bhoiwada and Rabodi in Thane on the complaint of Aftab Hussan
Saikh, police said.
Security has been stepped up in the city and
neighboring Rabodi area to prevent any untoward incident.
Thane Police Commissioner K P Raghuvanshi visited the powerloom
town to take stock of the situation.
Police are engaging leaders from both the communities to prevent
any escalation in the situation and have appealed to members of
both the communities to observe restraint.
