Fourth FIR filed against seer, security cover upped

Hindustan Times  

The Kondhwa police station on Saturday filed an FIR against Hindu seer Mahant Ramgiri Maharaj, the fourth against the leader, on a complaint filed by Azad Samaj Party legal cell chief for Maharashtra advocate Tausif Shaikh. Shaikh, 32, of NIBM Road, Kondhwa in his complaint to the police stated that the content of Maharaj’s speech was objectionable, defamatory and made with the intention of creating communal tension and inciting riots, thereby unlawfully harming national unity. Earlier on Friday, communal tension erupted at Sambhajinagar and Ahmednagar after the video of a remark by the seer during his sermon in “Akhand Harinam Saptah” at Shree Kshetra Panchale in Sinnar tehsil of Nashik district went viral. Vinay Patankar, Kondhwa police station incharge, said, “Investigation has been initiated based on the complaint.” Amid the row over his comments, chief minister Eknath Shinde had shared the dais with the religious leader during an event in Nashik district on Friday, and called him a “saint”, while minister Girish Mahajan and former Ahmednagar MP Sujay Vikhe Patil touched his feet at the event.
