On Wednesday, the IFSO unit of the Delhi police had registered a case against several persons including Nupur Sharma, Naveen Kumar Jindal, Swami Yati Narasimhananda  and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi under various provisions for spreading hateful messages, inciting groups and creating an atmosphere detrimental to the maintenance of public tranquillity.

This came amid the row over the suspension of BJP leader Nupur Sharma for her alleged controversial religious remarks on a TV debate.
