The FIR was registered based on a complaint by probationer sub-inspector Sachin, who alleged that some people gave provocative speeches against the people of another community during the gathering in Pondri village, they said.

 

The FIR was registered under IPC Sections 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups) and 505 (statements conducing public mischief) among others at the Hathin Police station on Monday, the police said.

"An FIR has been registered and action will be taken as per the law," SHO Manoj Kumar said.

The 'mahapanchayat' by Hindu outfits decided to resume on August 28 the Vishva Hindu Parishad's Braj Mandal Yatra in Nuh which was disrupted after communal violence in July.

It also made several demands, which included an NIA probe into the attack on the VHP yatra in Nuh on July 31 and declaring Nuh a cow slaughter-free district.

While addressing the event, some Hindu leaders said that Hindus in Nuh, a Muslim-dominated district, be given relaxation in securing arms licences for self-defence.
