Telangana police held 2 Hindus for allegedly raising ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogan at Makkah Masjid released after police found it was phone ringtone

The Hyderabad Police wrongfully detained two Hindu persons from Maharashtra after the authorities at Makkah Masjid in the city of Hyderabad complained that the duo had allegedly raised the slogans of ‘Jai Shree Ram’ in the Masjid.

 

As per the reports, the Masjid authorities called the police after Maharashtrians identified as Anmol, Vishal and Venkat allegedly heard the slogans of ‘Jai Shree Ram’ from within the Masjid.

 

 

 

 

The Hussaini Alam police officers were then informed about the matter, after which the police immediately detained two of the individuals and launched a manhunt to nab the third one who went absconding.

 

 

 

However, during the interrogation, the Police confirmed that the men did not raise any slogan but the sound came up from the mobile phone of one of the persons. The Hindus stated that the ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogan was a ringtone on a phone and it was heard when the phone rang, and they did not shout it. The Police also confirmed that the Masjid authorities mistook the ringtone and alleged that ‘anti-minority’ slogans were raised.

 

The Masjid authorities also later released a video to confirm that the Hindus didn’t raise the slogan after checking CCTV footage, and therefore no FIR in the case has been filed. “Police say that the boys had ringtone of ‘Jai Shree Ram’ set on their phone. They said that the boys had not raised the slogans. We also then checked our CCTV footage for confirmation but could not find any proof that the boys had raised the slogans,” Masjid superintendent said.

 

Advocate Neelam Bhargav Ram also confirmed that the two boys who were detained earlier had been released by the police after the preliminary inquiry in the case. Also, SHO Hussaini Alam confirmed to him that no FIR had been registered in the case.
