FIR held up against big names who composed open letter to Modi on horde lynching

The police said the FIR was stopped under areas of the Indian Penal Code, including those identifying with rebellion, open aggravation, offending  and offending with an expectation to incite break of harmony. 



A FIR was stopped here on Thursday against almost 50 famous people, including Ramchandra Guha, Mani Ratnam and Aparna Sen, who had composed an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising worry over the developing episodes of horde lynching, police said. 

The case was held up after a request was passed by Chief Judicial Magistrate Surya Kant Tiwari two months prior on an appeal documented by neighborhood advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha. 

"The CJM had passed the request on August 20, tolerating my appeal upon the receipt of which a FIR was held up today at the Sadar police headquarters here," Ojha said. 

He said almost 50 signatories of the letter were named as charged in his request in which they purportedly "discolored the picture of the nation and undermined the amazing exhibition of the PM" other than "supporting secessionist propensities". 

The police said the FIR was held up under segments of the Indian Penal Code, including those identifying with subversion, open annoyance, offending  and offending with an aim to incite break of harmony. 

The letter was composed by 49 prominent characters, including movie producers Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap, Shyam Benegal, entertainer Soumitra Chatterjee just as vocalist Shubha Mudgal in July this year. 

It had said that the lynching of Muslims, Dalits and different minorities must be halted promptly while focusing on that there was "no majority rules system without contradiction". 

It likewise noticed that Jai Shri Ram had been diminished to a "provocative battle cry"
