Rajasthan Police has arrested Salman Chisti, a cleric at the Ajmer Dargah.The Dargah Khadim had allegedly given calls to behead Nupur Sharma.
They had registered an FIR against him on the basis of a video clip. In the video clip, the accused apparently offered his house to anybody beheading Nupur Sharma. Chisti had also said he’d have shot her for insulting the prophet.
“You must reply to all Muslim countries. I am saying this from Ajmer, Rajasthan and this message is from Huzur Khwaja Baba ka Darbar,” he said in a drunken state.
“ The police are trying to trace the Khadim. He does have a criminal background”, said Dalveer Singh Faujdar on Monday. The police finally arrested Salman Chisti on Tuesday. So far Rajasthan Police has also arrested four people for another provocative speech allegedly given at the main gate of the Dargah on June 17th.
The video was in circulation before Kanhaiyalal’s murder and the police made arrests after a week of the murder. NIA has taken the case from Rajasthan police currently.
Highly Condemnable,says Ajmer Dargah Dewan
Ajmer Dargah Dewan Zainul Abedin Ali Khan has condemned Salman’s video. Ajmer Dargah is a place of communal harmony. The khadim’s views in the video cannot be the Dargah’s message , he said. One individual made these remarks and these are condemnable, he added.
The BJP suspended Nupur Sharma following pressure from Kuwait and Qatar as well protests from the Muslim community. She had made remarks on the Prophet in a TV debate that has offended the Muslim community.
