The Indore police have registered a case against Congress veteran Digvijay Singh for allegedly sharing a controversial post on former Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief M.S. Golwalkar on social media, an officer said on Sunday.
Following a complaint filed by local lawyer and RSS worker Rajesh Joshi, the FIR was registered on Saturday night against Mr. Singh under the Indian Penal Code sections 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence), 469 (forgery for purpose of harming reputation), 500 (defamation) and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief), said the officer from the Tukoganj police station.
In his complaint, Mr. Joshi alleged that Mr. Singh had shared a controversial poster on Facebook bearing the name and picture of “Guruji” (as Golwalkar was popularly known) to incite people by creating conflict among Dalits, backward classes, Muslims and Hindus, as per the FIR.
