New Delhi [India]: Delhi Police arrested two persons on Saturday in connection with the Jama Masjid protest that took place on Friday over the remarks on the life of Muhammad made by suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled leader Naveen Jindal.

“Two persons have been arrested last night under section 153A of IPC. Friday namaz always has a crowd, so we were alert that something could happen. But the way people came after offering namaz with banners and placards denotes that there is some kind of planning behind it,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Central district, Shweta Chauhan.

Section 153A of IPC is charged for promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc; and doing acts prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony.

“We are investigating the matter and the messages circulated on WhatsApp over it. The initial probe has identified 4-5 locals. But most of the people are not locals,” added the DCP.

Earlier on Friday, a massive protest erupted after Friday Namaz at Delhi’s Jama Masjid.

“Almost 1,500 people had gathered in Jama Masjid for Friday prayers. After the prayers, nearly 300 people came out and started protesting over the remarks by Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal,” DCP Chauhan had told ANI.

Delhi Police had said they removed the protesters and the situation was brought under control.

Delhi Police registered two FIRs– one against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and the other against 31 people, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Yati Narsinghanand – for allegedly spreading hate and hurting religious sentiments, officials said on Thursday.

Former Delhi BJP media unit head Naveen Kumar Jindal, who was expelled from the party over alleged remarks against Mohammad, and journalist Saba Naqvi, are among the people named in the second FIR. (ANI)
