Maharashtra: Police Detain Muslim Youth for Using Aurangzeb's Image as Profile Picture

The Navi Mumbai Police filed a case against a 29-year-old youth for using Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s portrait as his Whatsapp profile picture.

He was booked under Sections 298 (uttering words with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) and 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, and residence) of the Indian Penal Code.

The case was filed based on a complaint by a Vishwa Hindu Parishad office-bearer.
