The local police have registered four cases against four Hindu outfit leaders for alleged hate speeches on Wednesday, officials said.
They added that the cases were registered over videos posted by accused right wing leaders on their social networking sites. The alleged hate speeches came in response to the petrol bomb attacks on Shiv Sena (Bharat Vanshi) leader Yogesh Bakshi and Shiv Sena (Hind) Sikh Sangat wing leader Harkirat Singh Khurana.
Deputy commissioner of police (DCP Investigation) Shubham Aggarwal said cases have been registered against Chanderkant Chaddha of Vikas Nagar and Bhanu Pratap of Neem Wali Gali, leaders of Shiv Sena Punjab; Parveen Dang of Gandhi Nagar, president of Hindu Sikh Jagrati Sena; and Rohit Sahni of Star City, Haibowal; a leader of Hindu Shakti Morcha.
The cases were registered at the Division Number 1, Division Number 3, Division Number 4 and Haibowal police stations, respectively.
The accused were booked under sections 196(1) (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc.) and 353(2) (making, publishing, or circulating statements that are false, alarming, or contain rumors, with the intent to create enmity, hatred, or ill will between groups) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
