In a significant ruling, a Haryana court on Friday rejected the bail plea of a 19-year-old man arrested for allegedly making provocative comments at a mahapanchayat held in Pataudi on July 4.
He had allegedly called for the abduction and killing of Muslim girls at a gathering which was attended by Haryana BJP spokesperson and Karni Sena president Suraj Pal Amu.
The ‘shocked’ court after viewing a clipping of the incident said Indian society needed to tackle ‘these kind of persons, who, if given a chance, would organise a mass murder to kill innocent lives based on their own religious hatred’
The accused in the hate speech case is the same person who fired on anti-citizenship law protesters near Delhi's Jamia Millia University in January last year, injuring one student.
