Delhi court seeks police reply on plea seeking FIR against activist Nishu Azad for posts on Hindu deities

The Court was hearing a plea filed by advocate Amita Sachdeva. She had earlier approached the Delhi Police with her complaint. It referred to four posts allegedly uploaded between September 2023 and August 2026, concerning gods Shiva, Krishna and goddesses Saraswati and Durga. Sachdeva alleged that the posts were deliberately published and continued to remain accessible despite her request for their removal. Sachdeva has sought registration of an FIR under Sections 299 (outrating religious feeling) and 196 (promoting enmity, hatred) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) as well as provisions of the Information Technology Act.
