AGRA: Four men have been arrested in Aligarh for allegedly writing “I love Muhammad” on the walls of four temples to falsely implicate their Muslim neighbours over property dispute. Aligarh SSP Neeraj Jadon identified the four as Jishant Kumar, Akash Kumar, Dilip Kumar, and Abhishek Sarswat, all aged between 30 and 35. Police said the the fifth accused, identified as Rahul, is absconding. Police said the slogans were found scribbled on four shrines on Oct 25. A complaint was filed by a member of a right-wing organisation, naming Muslim men.
Misspelt slogans led UP cops to suspects trying to frame Muslims
Police rushed to the spot with senior officers, erased the graffiti and calmed the crowd. A case was then registered against Maulvi Mustaqeem, Gul Mohammad, Suleman, Sonu, Allabaksh, Hasan, Hamid and Yusuf,” SSP Jadon said. But police soon noticed something odd. The slogans were misspelled, and all in the same way. The mistake didn’t match the way I love Muhammad had appeared on banners during protests in Bareilly in September. That difference led investigators to suspect mischief. Police teams used technical surveillance to track down the actual culprits. A case under BNS was registered against the men, and they were sent to jail. SSP Jadon said police found the men had personal disputes with some of the Muslims they tried to frame.
