BJP leader and Goshamahal MLA candidate, T Raja Singh, has been booked by the Mangalhat police for allegedly making a hate speech towards a particular community during a program in Maharajgunj earlier this month. The case was registered under Section 125 of the Representation of the Public Act 1951 based on a video clip that went viral on social media platforms.
The police took suo-motu action after coming across the video clip of Raja Singh making the alleged hate speech during a party meeting at a community hall in Maharajgunj. Mangalhat Sub-Inspector Shaik Aslam filed a complaint stating that the MLA delivered a hate speech at Agarwal Bhavan in Maharajgunj.
The video, which is 51 seconds long, shows Raja Singh speaking about “a fight between love Jihadis and Hindu daughters” targeting Muslims. The police have taken this complaint seriously and are investigating the matter further.
