HYDERABAD – A case was registered after a group of men participating in a procession waved swords and raised slogans in front of a mosque in Nacharam Mallapur, Hyderabad on Wednesday night.
The incident occurred in front of Masjid-e-Aashraf in Chankyapuri Colony under the Nacharam police station area.
A video of the incident has gone viral on the social media. Responding to the video, Rachkonda Police said “In this regard, a case has been registered and stringent action is being taken as per the law”.
In the video, around 12 people, two of them carrying swords, are seen holding saffron flags and standing in front of the mosque, shouting Jai Shri Ram slogan. The group was reportedly returning after attending a Chhatrapati Shivaji Jayanti procession.
They raised slogans while some worshippers were attending prayers inside the mosque.
Some people recorded a video of what appeared to be a deliberate attempt by the youngsters to provoke communal tension in the city and shared it on social media, urging the police to take action.
Earlier, political activist Amjedullah Khan said the entire incident happened right in front of the police but the Nacharam police was a mute spectator. In spite of a written complaint along with a video evidence was given to Nacharam police station till now no action has been taken against the perpetrators.
Khan said such incidents are on the rise since Congress came to power in Telangana and Anumula Revanth Reddy became the chief minister of Telangana and this is the 30th communal incident in one year.
He asserted that such incidents are happening because of soft Hindutva policy adopted by Revanth Reddy and he is sure that no action will be taken against the anti-social elements as the past records showing that in such incidents the police didn’t took any proper action.
