"We have taken cognizance of the incident of a student of GMC Srinagar posting sensitive material against the religious sentiments of a particular community," police said.

Police said that on receipt of communication from GMC Srinagar administration, a criminal case, FIR number 13/24 under sections 153,153 A, 295 A, 505 (2) (b) IPC, was registered at Karan Nagar Police Station on June 6. Is. 2024.

Police have appealed to the public to avoid spreading rumors or misinformation.

People should not become victims of false propaganda by anti-social elements. "Legal action will be taken against those found involved in provocative acts/instigation," the police said.

Syed Ruhullah Mehdi, who won the Lok Sabha elections from Srinagar, has demanded strict action against the student who tried to create communal unrest by hurting religious sentiments.

“These repeated crimes cannot be tolerated in any civilized society. The newly elected MP wrote on Twitter, "We give due respect to religious figures of other religions and we expect people of other religions to be equally civilized."

He said that the Srinagar administration should take immediate action and register a case against this criminal under the law immediately.

“Mere suspension of the student is not enough,” Ruhullah said.
