Bharuch taluka police have arrested a Muslim man Abdul who published pamphlets with false and misleading interpretations of Hindu theological verses. He was misinterpreting them to justify cow slaughter and consumption of beef. The accused interpreted the Hindu verses in a completely wrong way, due to which the sentiments of the Hindus were hurt. After receiving a complaint about the incident, the Bharuch taluka police launched an investigation and arrested the accused Abdul Aziz Ahmed Patel Mufti. In another case from the area, the Bharuch police also arrested 3 other Muslim men for making vulgar comments on Hindu deities.
According to further details, a Hindu man found an 18-page pamphlet in the middle of the road at Kantharia village in Bharuch taluka. The pamphlet included several Sanskrit verses. Upon studying the pamphlet, the person found that it contained hurtful text about Hinduism. The pamphlet was titled ‘Vegetarianism in terms of religion and nature’. In the pamphlet, text was written on the subject of cow slaughter, eating beef, and Muslim customs. Everything in this 18-page pamphlet was against religion and violated the faith and sanctity of Hindus.
Misinterpretation of verses from Ramayana-Mahabharata, Upanishads, Puranas and Manusmriti
The pamphlet misinterpreted the Sanskrit verses of the great texts of Hinduism, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, the Manusmriti, the Upanishads and the Puranas. It clearly displayed a conspiracy to mislead the common people by trying to justify cow slaughter and consumption of beef. Apart from this, it also insulted the sentiments of Hinduism with topics like ‘cow slaughter and cannibalism – Hindu society’.

Three others arrested in Bharuch for vulgar comments on Hindu deities
Along with this, another incident which hurt the sentiments of Hindus also came to light in the area. On a social media platform, three persons, Mohammad Waheed Sajid Hussain, Mohammad Hasan Sulehbaba Sheikh, and Mirza Mohammad Sani Mohammad Yusuf Sheikh used vulgar words about the gods and goddesses of Hinduism. The incident came to light after screenshots of their chat went viral. The police took action after a Hindu man reported the incident to the Bharuch Cyber Crime Police Station.
After further investigation about the incident, information about the three accused was collected with the help of technical surveillance. After that, the police arrested the three accused and took further action.
It may be noted that in Bharuch itself, recently a leaflet went viral on social media during Eid, which was released by Darul Uloom Barakat Khawaja, an Islamic organisation in Bharuch. The pamphlet also mentioned the slaughter of cows along with other animals, which sparked outrage. After this incident, the responsible cleric was also arrested.
