Holy aim? Shimla civic body ad shows Lord Rama’s arrow pointed at garbage; sparks outrage | India News


NEW DELHI: Shimla police have registered a case after a banner showing Lord Rama aiming an arrow at a garbage heap appeared near the Himachal Pradesh Secretariat in Chhota Shimla. Advocate Bharat Bhushan, coordinator of the Dev Bhumi Sangharsh Samiti, filed a complaint alleging that the banner reportedly put up by the Shimla Municipal Corporation was offensive to Hindu beliefs. The complainant said he feared that similar banners might have been placed in other parts of the city, which could further upset the public. Acting on his complaint, police filed a case under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with acts meant to outrage religious feelings by insulting a religion or its beliefs.
