Meerut tense as 'objectionable visuals of Hindu gods' appear online;

 

Bajrang Dal at Lucknow demand arrest of those who posted the pictures of gods on social networking sites.Tension was palpable in parts of Meerut on Wednesday when Hindu organisations protested against "objectionable visuals of Hindu gods and goddesses" that have been allegedly posted on social networking sites. The Hindu organisations alleged that the visuals were posted with the sole intention of disturbing communal harmony across western Uttar Pradesh. The protesters demanded that the culprits be arrested immediately. Fearing a communal flare-up, the police has now deployed its forces in specific areas of Meerut.
According to the protesters, the visuals were posted by some anti-social elements in Meerut.
The Hindu outfits have demanded immediate arrest of these elements. On Wednesday, during their protest in front of the Civil Lines police station in Meerut, they also recited Hanuman Chalisa. They alleged that those who had previously thrown dead animals in a temple are behind the objectionable visuals.

 

 

City Superintendent of Police Om Prakash said, "Police and paramilitary forces have been deployed in the area to prevent any untoward incident. The case has been handed over to the cyber crime team and we will arrest the culprits within five days." The police has also received similar complaints from Aligarh.

Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Aligarh unit president Yatin Dixit said, "We have already registered a complaint with the Civil Lines police station in the city and organised protests against the delay in arresting the culprit." He claimed that an individual, who is a resident of Aligarh's Civil Lines area, posted these objectionable visuals.
Civil Lines police station inspector Surya Kant Dwivedi said, "We are probing the case. But the visuals were posted by someone who used a fake identity."
