A first information report (FIR) has been registered against three people in Telangana's Rachakonda for organising the screening of the documentary “Ram Ke Naam” in a restaurant, ANI reported on Sunday.
The FIR has been registered at Neredmet Police Station. The three persons are booked under Section 290 (punishment for public nuisance), 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
According to ANI, the FIR was filed based on a complainant, who alleged that the screening of the documentary was held to create communal tensions ahead of the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22.
"...they intentionally organized this event to create communal issues before the Ram Mandhir event," the complainant said, according to the agency.
Meanwhile, All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that the screening of the documentary was stopped midway and three people were arrested.
“How is screening an award-winning documentary a crime? If it is, then the Government of India & Filmfare should also be jailed for awarding the movie,” Owaisi wrote in on X, previously known as Twitter.
He further added: “Please let us know if we need a pre-screening certificate from police before watching a movie.”
‘Ram Ke Naam’, or In the Name of God, is a 1992 documentary about the campaign for a temple at the site of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, and the communal violence the dispute triggered.
The consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya is scheduled to be held on January 22.🚨🕵️♀️
