In a recent incident at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), a senior secondary school student has been expelled from the hostel and is now entangled in legal repercussions after allegedly making objectionable comments about Prophet Mohammad.

The AMU administration has swiftly responded by suspending the 18-year-old student and initiating the process for his expulsion from the university.

Simultaneously, a police complaint has been filed against the student, invoking serious charges related to deliberate acts to outrage religious feelings, criminal intimidation, and intentional insult to provoke a breach of peace (IPC Sections 295-A, 506, and 504).

Assistant Proctor Syed Ali Nawab Zaidi from AMU stated, "There was anger in the student community after the student made the alleged objectionable remark against the prophet. Keeping in mind the students' demand, he was suspended and immediately expelled from the hostel."


The accuser reported, "At noon on Monday (11 December), I was at the Allama Iqbal hostel with some friends when he came and started saying wrong words about Islam and the prophet. When we tried to stop him, he not only abused and threatened us but also continued making offensive remarks."

Aligarh Deputy Superintendent of Police Suman Kanojia added, "When the complainant tried to stop the accused, he abused and threatened him. Investigation is being conducted, and action will be taken accordingly."

The case, filed at Civil Lines police station, lists serious charges against the accused student.
