Several FIRs have been filed in several police stations in Maharashtra against Nupur Sharma over her statements on Prophet Muhammad. She is presently untraceable and the police are unable to locate her, according to Maharashtra government officials.
According to media reports, Maharashtra police have stated that Nupur Sharma remained untraceable for many days after multiple complaints were made against her following her so-called offensive statements against Prophet Muhammad, which triggered countrywide violence by Muslims. The Mumbai Police had filed a case against Nupur Sharma in Pydhonie police station after receiving a complaint from Irfan Sheikh, the joint secretary of the Muslim organization Raza Academy.

Nupur Sharma has been asked to appear before the police on June 25 in Mumbai’s Pydhonie police station in connection with her allegedly offensive comment about Prophet Mohammed during a tv debate. The FIR was registered on charges of hurting religious feelings, promoting enmity, and causing public mischief.
According to Mumbai police, a team was dispatched to Delhi to interrogate Sharma about the complaints, but she was not found.
