The police have detained two minor boys of the minority community for celebrating the murder of Bajrang Dal activist Harsha.
The accused had made a collage of Harsha murder case photos along with theirs on the Whatsapp status and added a film dialogue to it.
The post celebrated the murder of Bajrang Dal activist and projected the accused boys as the ones who killed him. Realising the sensitivity of the matter that it could spark communal tensions, police launched a search for the boys and detained them.
Superintendent of Police BM Lakshmi Prasad has confirmed that the police department has lodged suo moto cases against four boys for sharing posts which could disturb communal harmony. A hunt has been launched for the other two.
Harsha was hacked to death by a gang of miscreants in February at the height of the Hijab crisis triggering concerns and law and order situation.
Popularly known as Harsha Hindu, Harsha was in the forefront of Hindutva activities and questioned illegal transportation of cows. He shared fierce Hindutva messages on his social media accounts and also commented on the Hijab issue.
