BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma was on Saturday night booked for alleged deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings of a class by insulting their religion or religious beliefs.

A case has been registered against her at Pydhonie Police station in Mumbai to under IPC sections 295A, 153A and 505 B.

The complaint was filed by Mumbai-based Raza Academy.

Sharma’s television remarks on the Prophet on Saturday invited wrath of a section of people on social media platforms.

“Raza Academy had filed a formal complaint with the Mumbai Commissioner of Police against BJP spokesperson for her blasphemous remarks on the Holy Prophet. A case has been registered in Mumbai,” the complainants said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
