Dehradun, India , Dec 27, 2021 : The Uttarakhand Police added the names of two more persons in the First Information Report (FIR) pertaining to hate speeches at a religious event in Haridwar organised between December 17 and 19, where calls were made for genocide and violence against Muslims.
Ashok Kumar, Uttarakhand Director General of Police, told The Hindu that many persons have been examined and the investigation was on. No arrests have been made so far in the case.
Mr. Kumar said that adding the provisions of the anti-terror Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) to the existing case was being legally examined. “Whether UAPA can be invoked or not is part of the investigation. It will depend on the facts of the case and we are getting it examined legally,” he said.
“Our investigation is on from both points of view — if more number of accused are to be added to the investigation and if any other Section is applicable,” Mr. Kumar calimed. Sources
