Following a complaint filed by the shelter’s caretaker, the police registered an FIR and arrested the accused individual Mohammad Kaleem on 9th June 2023. According to the caretaker Sandeep Sagar, the accused Mohammad Kaleem exerted pressure on him to embrace Islam and enticed him with promises of a government job and financial incentives.
According to the complainant, the accused allegedly made derogatory remarks about the Hindu religion and promoted its boycott by sharing religious videos on YouTube. In response to these allegations, the Delhi Police have filed a case against the accused and subsequently apprehended him.
