Hurting religious sentiments: Karimnagar court tells police to book Praveen Kumar

Karimnagar: The Principal Judicial First Class Magistrate court on Wednesday instructed the police to register a case against retired IPS officer and former secretary of Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society Dr RS Praveen Kumar for allegedly humiliating Hindu gods.

Dealing with a petition, Judge Sai Sudha issued the instructions to Karimnagar Three Town police to register the case against Praveen Kumar and Nyathari Shankar Babu, a government teacher.

It may be recalled that on the occasion of Kanshiram’s birthday, members of SWAEROES, a voluntary organisation, took a month long Bheem Diksha (Gnana Diksha) at Bhudda statue, Dhoolikatta, Eliged mandal of Peddapalli district on March 15 this year.

While taking diksha, they took an oath stating that they would not believe or pray to Hindu gods like Rama and Krishna. They would also not believe in Gouri, Ganesha and other Hindu gods and they would not offer pindams. Praveen Kumar reportedly took the oath with outstretched hand. The issues turned controversial when a video clip of Praveen Kumar taking the oath went viral on various social media platforms.

Upset by the incident, Bethi Mahender Reddy, an advocate and BJP leader, lodged a complaint with Karimnagar Three Town police on March 16, demanding action against Praveeen Kumar for trying to create hatred among groups by provoking religious sentiments. On March 18, he lodged a complaint with Commissioner of Police VB Kamalasan Reddy.

Since the police failed to take action, Mahender Reddy, along with another advocate, Yennampalli Gangadhar, filed a petition in the court on March 22. The case was pending because the court was not functioning on account of the lockdown.

Dealing with the case on Wednesday, the judge instructed the police to register a case against Praveen Kumar and Shankar Babu and take up investigations.
