Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
An FIR was registered by Navi Mumbai police against a man for allegedly using Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s image as his Whatsapp profile picture after the issue was raised by a Hindu organisation, an official said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Police arrested the man in Vashi, who works in an outlet of a mobile service provider. He was allowed to go and a notice was issued to him.<\/p>\n
The screenshot of Aurangzeb’s profile picture was submitted to the police by a Hindu organisation, leading to registration of the case under sections 298 (Uttering words, etc, with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) and 153-A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence) of the Indian Penal Code, the official said.<\/p>\n
Further investigation is underway, he added.<\/p>\n
Incidents of communal tension have taken place in various cities of Maharashtra recently over the alleged glorification of Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan.<\/p>\n
In Kolhapur city, protesters pelted stones during a demonstration against the alleged use of Tipu Sultan’s image along with an objectionable audio message as social media \u201cstatus\u201d by a few locals on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Earlier, photos of Aurangzeb were displayed in a procession in Ahmednagar. In Sangamner town, stones were hurled during a rally of Sakal Hindu Samaj in response to the alleged murder of a boy. Two persons were injured and five vehicles were damaged.<\/p>\n
Separately, a poster of Aurangzeb was displayed with the raising of objectionable slogans during a religious procession, also in Sangamner, police had said.<\/p>\n
