Court rejects Anticipatory Bail to Doctor Facing Arrest over Facebook Post on Hanuman Chalisa
Mumbai: Amid the ongoing controversy in Maharashtra regarding Hanuman Chalisa, a Sessions Court in Mumbai recently rejected the anticipatory bail plea of a dental surgeon, who is facing arrest because of his Facebook post on this issue.
The 41-year-old dental surgeon got booked by Sakinaka police station after he allegedly questioned in his Facebook Post how people selling their religion and chanting "hallelujah hallelujah" are trying to teach Hanuman Chalisa. "Hallelujah hallelujah" is a sacred Bible word meaning "praise of the lord."
Police booked the doctor as his post allegedly added fuel to the enmity between two religious groups. His anticipatory bail plea got rejected by the Sessions Court as it noted that being a doctor, he might be aware of the consequences of his post.
