A social activist has approached the Tardeo police to file an FIR against Bhumata Brigade activist Trupti Desai for allegedly disturbing peace and promoting enmity between different groups. The police have, however, not yet registered any FIR in the matter.
According to the police, activist Imraan Khan (33) approached the Tardeo police on Sunday asking them to register a complaint against Desai. "Khan stated that Desai should be booked on charges of disturbing the internal peace of the country, promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion and acting deliberately to outrage religious feelings by insulting religious beliefs," said a police officer.
Speaking to dna, Khan said: "Desai belongs to another community and she does not understand the sentiments, rules and beliefs of the people who belong to the Islamic community. She is insisting that ladies be allowed into the central sanctum of the mosque, which is not allowed in Islam."
Making further allegations, Khan said: "Desai is deliberately and purposely disturbing the religious environment of our country. Her constant interference in our religious matters with a motive to bring about change is evoking anger amongst our community members."
Khan has also submitted the said applications to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and commissioner of police DD Padsalgikar, asking them to ensure a probe into his complaint and take strict action against Desai.
"We have received an application from one Imraan Khan against Trupti Desai. However, we have not yet registered any offence in the matter," said senior police inspector Dyanesh Devade of Tardeo police station.
