Delhi Police on Thursday detained over 30 AIMIM supporters after they held a protest outside Parliament Street police station after AIMIM party chief Asaddudin Owaisi was named in an First Information Report (FIR) for allegedly posting and sharing messages on social media against the maintenance of public tranquility and inciting people on divisive lines.

Following the protest, a case under Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was also registered by the police against the protestors. “AIMIM supporters were protesting outside Parliament Street police station. Around 33, including a few women, have been detained,” said a senior police officer.

Earlier, the Special Cell of Delhi Police registered an FIR against Owaisi, controversial priest Yati Narsinghanand and others for allegedly posting and sharing messages on social media against the maintenance of public tranquility and inciting people on divisive lines. The FIR was registered after an analysis of social media. The cases have been registered under Sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 295 (injuring or defiling place of worship with intent to insult the religion of any class), 505 (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code. “Two FIRs have been registered. One case has been registered against Sharma and another against multiple social media entities, including Owaisi, Jindal, Narsinghanand, Shadab Chauhan, Saba Naqvi, Maulana Mufti Nadeem, Abdur Rehman and Gulzar Ansari, based on the analysis,” police said.
