The Jammu Kashmir Police has arrested one for spreading animosity between two religious groups in Kashmir.
Sources told that one Mutahir Dar, a resident of Mahoo in Banihal has been arrested for promoting enmity between different groups and providing people to attack religious symbols.
In a video that evoked widespread anger, a man with a long beard, sipping a cup of tea with his left hand was heard talking of a dream where Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jeelani, a highly revered Sufi saint had come to his dream and asked him to bulldoze all Khanqahs across Kashmir.
Sources from Banihal told that Mutahir is from the Salafi school of thought and is known for his comments against the majority Hanfi community of Kashmir.
They said that the 28-year-old spends most of his time on social media and makes reels. “Some of his reels are highly vulgar and recently one was made from a movie which was highly shameless in content.
Reacting to the video, several Hanfi clerics had asked the Salafi clerics to intervene and clarify their stance on the issue.
The Jammu Kashmir Police has arrested Mutahir under the FIR No 45/ 2023 U/S 153A,295 IPC PS has been registered at Shergarhi Srinagar Police station. Source
