A government school headmaster in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur district has been arrested for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by administering a pledge to people “not to worship Hindu gods” and to embrace Buddhism, said the police on Monday.
On January 22, 60-year-old Ratalal Sarovar, the headmaster of a government primary school in Bharari village, allegedly administered the said pledge to a group of people. A clip of the incident surfaced online prompting a complaint by Rupesh Shukla, an activist of the Bajrang Dal, and the subsequent police action.
