Aashwin Shanker, Mumbai Uncensored, 6th July 2021:

As of late, nine people were arrested under Sections 153, 153A, 295A, 120B of the Indian Penal Code 1860, for spreading a bogus and doctored video where purportedly an older Muslim man was being thumped by couple of Hindus and had to recite Jai Shree Ram in the Loni area of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

One of those booked, Rana Ayyub asserted that the FIR and the judicial procedures that followed this doctored video were discretionary and intended with the purpose of smothering the ability to speak freely and articulation and to control the privileges of the columnists.

She set forth her cases in an Opinion article in The Washington Post on June 29 named ‘The Indian government continues to harass journalists. I’m facing jail over a tweet.”

Point out that a video having claims particularly ones that can spread mutual disharmony and upset the harmony between two communities which can have repercussions should be confirmed to discover reality in the matter and checked altogether prior to being spread and shared particularly in regions like Loni, such news can easily stir violence. 

Journalists and writers these days appear to fail to remember that they can be held liable and are expected to take responsibility for the news they distribute and that they are not resistant if the news can cause viciousness and disrupt public harmony. They need to comprehend the way that getting out bogus words, particularly one that can spread disharmony among general society, is an offense and they can be expected to take responsibility.

No right is absolute, not even Freedom of Speech and Expression. The right to speak freely of discourse and articulation have special cases under Article 19(2).

Article 19(2) States : Nothing in sub clause (a) of clause ( 1 ) shall affect the operation of any existing law, or prevent the State from making any law, in so far as such law imposes reasonable restrictions on the exercise of the right conferred by the said sub clause in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality or in relation to contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an offence.

In the present case, the video shared by Rana Ayyub not just can possibly upset public harmony but on the other hand is fit for prompting violence in the region. 

Moreover, Rana Ayyub has concurred throughout the examination that she didn’t check the “realness” or reality in the video prior to having something very similar. This makes her responsible and liable for the video she distributed and consequently the FIR was enlisted under offenses under Sections 153, 153A, 295A, 120B of the Indian Penal Code 1860.

For a clearer image of the law, how about we examine the phrasings of the segments under which Rana Ayyub and other journalists have been booked.

Section 153 of the Indian Penal Code states- “Wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot—if rioting be committed; if not committed.—Whoever malignantly, or wantonly by doing anything which is illegal, gives provocation to any person intending or knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause the offence of rioting to be committed, shall, if the offence of rioting be committed in consequence of such provocation, be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with both; and if the offence of rioting be not committed, with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine, or with both.”

Similarly Section 153A of the Act prescribes that “Promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony.—(1) Whoever— (a) by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise, promotes or attempts to promote, on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste or community or any other ground whatsoever, disharmony or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill will between different religious, racial, language or regional groups or castes or communities, or (b) commits any act which is prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony between different religious, racial, language or regional groups or castes or communities, and which disturbs or is likely to disturb the public tranquility, [or]

(c) organizes any exercise, movement, drill or other similar activity intending that the participants in such activity shall use or be trained to use criminal force or violence or knowing it to be likely that the participants in such activity will use or be trained to use criminal force or violence, or participates in such activity intending to use or be trained to use criminal force or violence or knowing it to be likely that the participants in such activity will use or be trained to use criminal force or violence, against any religious, racial, language or regional group or caste or community and such activity for any reason whatsoever causes or is likely to cause fear or alarm or a feeling of insecurity amongst members of such religious, racial, language or regional group or caste or community,] shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.

(2) Offence committed in place of worship, etc.—Whoever commits an offence specified in sub-section (1) in any place of worship or in any assembly engaged in the performance of religious worship or religious ceremonies, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to five years and shall also be liable to fine.”

Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code states “Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.—Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of 7 [citizens of India], 8 [by words, either spoken or written, or or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise], insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 9 [three years], or with fine, or with both”.

In the instant case, Rana Ayyub’s false tweet of a doctored video without looking at the truth of the matter or even enquiring about the same shows the intent of the alleged Journalist to spread disharmony and incite violence and feelings of hate between the two communities and this action is duly covered under Section 153 and Section 153A(a) and 153A (b) and Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code 1860.

Rana Ayyub is responsible and liable to investigation for her as the video and her posts have prompted the induction of viciousness and public disharmony in the district and both these fall under the exception of freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(2) of the Indian Constitution.

On the off chance that she feels that she has not submitted an offense, she can deliver confirmation for the equivalent during the enquiry and will be allowed an opportunity to be heard in the preliminary as to the equivalent. Thus, rather than blaming the public authority for checking free discourse, she ought to rather investigate her activities which are in clear infringement of the Indian Penal Code and furthermore fall as special cases with the expectation of complimentary discourse.

Your opportunity closes where the other individual’s starts and individuals of the area of Loni reserve the option to life in a protected climate with nobility and the activities of Rana Ayyub plainly upset both wellbeing and poise of individuals of the locale as she has acted in a way that can possibly affect viciousness in the district.

Rana Ayyub should help the examination as opposed to charging the public authority and the law implementation offices. In a nation run by law and order, this is the least that can be anticipated from journalists, writers and columnists.

Controversial ‘Annapoorani’ Sparks FIR for Alleged Promotion of Love Jihad; Contrasts Netflix’s Refusal of ‘The Kerala Story’

Love Jihad

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai:

Nayanthara’s milestone 75th film, ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food,’ has landed in hot water as an FIR has been filed against the movie by the Mumbai police. A complaint lodged at LT Marg Police Station alleges that the film promotes Love Jihad, citing a scene where actor Jai makes a controversial statement about Lord Ram’s dietary preferences, causing hurt to religious sentiments. This development comes after the movie’s digital premiere on Netflix faced criticism, with the Hindu IT Cell filing a formal complaint with Mumbai police, accusing the film of misrepresenting Valmiki’s Ramayana and criticizing Lord Ram.

Directed by Nilesh Krishnaa, ‘Annapoorani’ features Nayanthara, Jai, and Sathyaraj in lead roles, hitting theaters on December 1, 2023. Despite the movie’s milestone status, it received a lukewarm response at the box office, grossing Rs 5 crore.

According to reports from The Republic, the complaint alleges that a particular scene in the movie portrays actor Jai asserting that Lord Ram was a meat eater, leading to an offense against religious sentiments. The controversy intensified after the film’s digital release on the OTT platform Netflix.

The narrative of ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food’ revolves around a girl aspiring to become a chef. As the daughter of a Hindu temple pujari, she faces challenges in preparing non-vegetarian food. The movie sparked controversy for a scene depicting her performing the Islamic prayer Namaz with a scarf covering her head before a cooking competition. Nayanthara’s character in the film recalls a friend’s comment that her Biryani tasted exceptional when prepared after performing Namaz. This scene has stirred controversy, as it is seen as offensive to religious sentiments.

Adding to the unfolding controversy is the fact that Netflix, a prominent OTT platform, chose to release ‘Annapoorani,’ despite its contentious content. This decision has raised eyebrows, especially in light of the platform’s refusal to release the movie ‘The Kerala Story,’ which exposed Love Jihad, further amplifying concerns within the Hindu community.

The Mumbai police’s decision to file an FIR against ‘Annapoorani’ reflects the seriousness of the allegations, and as this situation evolves, Mumbai Uncensored will continue to monitor and report on developments surrounding this controversial film.

Corruption Scandal Unveiled: BMC Officials Accused of Siphoning Off Crores Meant for Laborers in Mumbai’s Cleanliness Schemes

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai Uncensored, 7th December 2023:

Mumbai Uncensored has unearthed a shocking case of corruption involving high-ranking officials in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The scandal, exposed by social worker Mr. Rameez Raja, reveals a systematic embezzlement of funds intended for laborers engaged in the Swachhata Yojna, Motor Loading, Manning & Mopping Scheme.

In 2007, BMC initiated these schemes, employing laborers through registered NGOs. Alarming details emerged regarding their paltry daily wages, which ranged from Rs. 141 in early 2007 to a marginal increase of Rs. 144 to Rs. 146 in 2008. Concerns over unjust wages prompted BMC’s standing committee to pass resolutions in 2010 and 2011, specifying minimum wages for laborers through circulars dated 30.4.2011 and 2.9.2021.

However, Mumbai Uncensored’s investigation reveals a nefarious plot within the BMC’s Western Suburbs (Zone 3). SWM Executive Engineer Mr. Chandan Shive, along with a network of SWM officials, allegedly manipulated funds. Instead of ensuring fair compensation to NGOs and, consequently, laborers, these officials diverted a substantial portion—estimated between 20-22 crores—for personal gain.

Trusted sources affirm that Mr. Rameez Raja, a vigilant social worker, has sent a detailed letter to the Chief Minister outlining the corruption. Raja emphasizes the urgent need for a thorough investigation and the suspension of implicated BMC officials. The funds, he insists, rightfully belong to the laborers who toiled diligently to maintain the city’s cleanliness.

Mumbai Uncensored has obtained a copy of a letter from Mr. Hemant Sawant, additional deputy commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Department, Mumbai. Addressed to BMC Commissioner Mr. Iqbal Singh Chahal, the letter lists multiple complaints received from citizens, the Maharashtra Government, and the Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Despite these grave allegations, no visible actions have been taken by the BMC.

This revelation raises serious questions about the integrity of BMC officials and their commitment to addressing corruption within their ranks. Mumbai Uncensored will continue to investigate and report on this matter to ensure accountability and justice for the laborers who deserve their rightful compensation.

Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin

A distressing incident has come to light where a 23-year-old woman working at a credit card company became a victim of blackmail and pressure from a man she once helped get a credit card. Identified as Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin, he allegedly threatened her with explicit content to force her into marriage and religious conversion.

The sequence of incidents began innocently enough when the victim, working diligently at a credit card company, contacted Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin in 2021 regarding a credit card application. Little did she know that this professional interaction would lead to a nightmare unfolding over the subsequent months.

Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin not only obtained a credit card through the victim but also initiated persistent contact through calls and messages on WhatsApp. Initially, their communication seemed innocuous, as the victim maintained professional courtesy due to their prior business interaction.

However, the situation took a dark turn when the victim found herself in a financial bind in 2021, needing to pay her younger brother’s school fees. She borrowed Rs. 4000 from Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin, with the understanding that it was a loan. Despite returning a portion of the amount in subsequent months, the accused allegedly shifted his focus from financial matters to personal ones.

Expressing a desire to marry the victim, Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin consistently pressured her to meet him, a proposition the victim adamantly refused. Disturbingly, when the victim attempted to return the borrowed money, Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin insisted on marriage instead.

Expressing an unsettling desire to marry the victim, Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin relentlessly pressured her to meet him. Despite her consistent refusals, he insisted on a face-to-face meeting, going as far as suggesting a meeting in a hotel room. The situation worsened when Momin began sending explicit and unwanted pornographic videos starting in 2022.

He asked her to get naked and Video Call him, or else he threatened to circulate her photograph and number telling people that she is into prostitution. Left with no option, the victim video-called Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin. In the next few days, he sent screenshots and screen recording videos of her nude video call to the victim, blackmailing and threatening her to marry him.

In a harrowing statement given to the Vanrai Police Station, the victim detailed the extent of the accused’s threats, claiming that Ansari Fauzan Mohammad Irfan Momin insisted on her conversion to Islam and forced marriage under the threat of leaking explicit content. The accused allegedly invoked religious sentiment, stating, “You are poor, marry me, and I will change your life. Mohammad Paigambar says always help the poor. What’s there in your Hindu Religion?”

The Vanrai Police Station is actively investigating the case, and legal proceedings are anticipated to bring the accused to justice. This disturbing incident highlights the vulnerability of individuals, especially women, in the face of exploitation and coercion, even within ostensibly professional settings.
