Mumbai Cops On Lookout In Delhi For Untraceable Nupur Sharma

Nupur Sharma

The Mumbai Police team has been searching for Nupur Sharma in Delhi for the past five days.

New Delhi: Suspended Nupur Sharma, a BJP spokesperson, has gone missing days after police in several states filed charges against her for comments she made on a news channel about Prophet Muhammad.

On May 28, the Mumbai Police filed a case against Ms Sharma, a Delhi resident, after her comment sparked outrage in India and the Gulf countries, based on a complaint filed by Irfan Sheikh, the joint secretary of a Muslim organization called Raza Academy.

According to sources, a Mumbai Police team in Delhi to question Ms Sharma could not locate her. They claimed she had become untraceable.

According to Maharashtra Home Ministry sources, the Mumbai Police have enough evidence to arrest the former BJP spokesperson.

The Mumbai Police team has been searching for Ms Sharma in the national capital for the past five days.

Ms Sharma is also the subject of an FIR filed by the Kolkata Police based on a complaint filed by Trinamool Congress minority cell general secretary Abul Sohail. The Kolkata Police Department summoned her to give her statement on June 20. The Delhi Police have filed another FIR against Ms Sharma regarding her remark about Prophet Mohammad.

The BJP suspended Ms Sharma after her comments about Prophet Muhammad on television triggered rage and official protests from at least 15 countries, including Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Several Gulf countries summoned Indian envoys and condemned what they called “anti-Islamic statements” by BJP spokespersons.

Ms Sharma retracted her statement “unconditionally,” claiming she was reacting to “constant insult and disrespect towards our Mahadev (Lord Shiva).”

To appease the Gulf nations, the government told them that Ms Sharma’s comments reflected the views of “fringe elements,” even though she was the BJP’s spokesperson.

Agnipath Row : 2nd BJP Office Set Ablaze In Bihar

Shashank

Violent protests in Bihar and several other states over the Centre’s Agnipath scheme left vehicles vandalised and burnt trains on Thursday.

The situation in Bihar continues to be tense as violent protests over the Agnipath defence recruitment policy continue on Day 2 and now the second BJP office has been set afire in Madhepura. On Thursday, a BJP office was set ablaze in Nawada.

Violent protests in Bihar and several other states over the Centre’s Agnipath army recruitment scheme left vehicles vandalised and burnt trains on Thursday. Later in the day, the government addressed the concerns of the defence job seekers and clarified that the future of the recruits is stable and that the intake would go up in the future.
The Centre today raised the entry age criteria from 21 years for the Agnipath scheme in 2022. Agitated students had expressed concerns over their future after four years as only 25 per cent of the Agniveers would be retained and the rest could be relieved without benefits. Even after the Centre clarified myths from facts, fierce protests raged across Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on Day 2.
In Bihar, students hurled stones, vandalised vehicles and burnt trains. Following this, police arrested 16 protesters for vandalism, looting and arson at Ara railway station and booked 650 unidentified people.
However, the situation remains tense as students reached the Bihiya railway station in Bihar on Friday to continue the protests against the recruitment scheme. The protesters also injured the in-charge of the Bihiya railway station and a media person had also been attacked and his phone was broken. Protestors are also rampaging across the Kulharia railway station. In Samastipur station, a train was set ablaze and stone-pelting were reported, while protests also broke out at the Begusarai railway station.
