Scheduled Castes Commission Asks Meerut Police To Add A String Of Charges In FIR On Man Who Put Rs 51-Lakh Bounty On Naveen’s Head

The bounty video was a chilling reminder of the tragic case of Kamlesh Tiwari, a Lucknow resident who received similar threats over an alleged post on Prophet Mohammed and was later shot and hacked to death by two Muslim men.

On the night of 13 August, the Falawada police filed a first information report (FIR) against Rizvi based on a written complaint. He was booked under IPC sections 153-A and 505(2).

Now, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes has asked the Meerut police to add a string of charges to the FIR, saying that the matter concerns a person from the Scheduled Caste. As per reports, Akhanda Srinivasmurthy and his nephew Naveen belong to a Scheduled Caste.

At the time of publishing this report, the commission had not received a reply from the Meerut police.
