A senior police official said that Yati Narsinghanand has been “arrested for derogatory comments against women, not the Haridwar hate speech case right now.” Mr Narsinghanand has, however, been issued a notice in the hate speech case. We will include the hate speech case details also in the remand application.” During a religious event last month in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, several Hindu leaders had made inflammatory comments about Muslims. One religious leader identified as Prabodhanand Giri said in one clip that was widely circulated on Indian social media: “You should either be ready to die or kill, there’s no other option.” He continued: “Like Myanmar, our police, our politicians, our Army and every Hindu must pick up weapons and conduct a safayi abhiyan. Earlier when Mr Tyagi was arrested, Mr Narsinghanad had threatened the police and said “all of you will die.” Another speaker at the event, Sadhvi Annapurna who is also the general secretary of the far-right religious group Hindu Mahasabha, allegedly called for the murder of Muslims.
