Mumbai police finally lodge FIR in Jamiat threat case; leave out BJP MLA’s name

Jamiat mulling to move HC to include BJP MLA’s name in the FIR

Mumbai: More than a week after Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind senior functionary Gulzar Azmi received death threat and days after Muslim MLAs from Maharashtra drew chief minister’s attention in this regard, police have finally registered a case against fugitive don Ravi Pujari on Monday.

The J J Marg police station lodged the FIR against Pujari under section 506(II) (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 507 (criminal intimidation by anonymous communication) of the Indian Penal Code. But the FIR does not mention BJP MLA Ashish Shelar’s name. Shelar was the one who had demanded a ban on Jamiat alleging it to be an anti-national organization.
