Chandrabhan Singh, Station House Officer (SHO) at Patel Nagar police station, said, "The protestors gathered in large numbers in Chowki Bazar area while protesting against a social media comment made against Prophet Mohammad. We tried to persuade them that action has already been taken against the accused. But they indulged in hooliganism, raised religious slogans and assaulted our force. We had to use force to disperse them. They could have moved towards localities with dense populations from another community. Five cops sustained injuries in the incident. We have registered the FIR against 400 unidentified protestors and our efforts to identify them are underway." He said, "We arrested the accused for making an objectionable comment on Instagram against Prophet Mohammad under section 170 of BNSS. We also removed the comment from social media." Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said, "This is a deliberate conspiracy to create unrest during our festivals and religious rituals. The same forces are behind this who cannot see India becoming strong, who do not support Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat and rely on the politics of appeasement. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, they are unable to digest the resolve of a developed India today. Such forces are continuously trying to spread unrest and riots, poisoning society." "If you are truly attached to someone, who gave you the right to roam around carrying a placard of his name? If you respect someone, if you love him, it should be reflected in your character....not through unruly behavior, riots, or religious fanaticism. Devbhoomi Uttarakhand is home to many sacred places of worship, from the Ganga-Yamuna to the Char Dham and Adi Kailash. Anarchy will not be tolerated here, and strict action will be taken against such elements. At some places, such attempts have already been made, but law and order has taken its course. We have also enacted a law against rioters....whoever damages government or private property will be punished," he said....
