Delhi Police Rubbishes Media Report Which Claimed That Maulana Saad’s Audio Clip Was ‘Doctored’
Tablighi Jamaat Chief Maulana Saad
The Delhi police on Saturday (9 May) refuted the media reports claiming that the police probe had found the audio clip of Maulana Saad to be doctored.
The Delhi police tweeted, “ The Indian Express report dated 9.5.20 with an article captioned: Tablighi FIR: Police probe indicates Saad audio clip was doctored - Written by Mahender Manral, is not only factually incorrect but seems to be based on wholly unverified sources and purely conjectural imagination.”
The Delhi police further added, “The claims made by the reporter regarding the investigation are totally baseless. The Delhi Police does not in any way stand by the story of the reporter, nor has he spoken to any official sources claimed in his report.”
Earlier today, one Indian Express report had claimed that the initial investigation by the Delhi Police Crime Branch has found that an audio clip mentioned in the police FIR against Markaz Nizamuddin head Maulana Saad Kandhalvi may doctored, or stitched together using several audio files.
Notably, the audio in question is the one which suggested that he had asked his Tablighi Jamaat members not to follow social distancing norms.
The report was shared widely by social media including various vested interests. However, now the Delhi police has clarified the such claims are baseless.
