Narsinghpur (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Police have registered a case on Tuesday against religious narrator Tarun Morari Bapu for calling Mahatma Gandhi a 'traitor' while narrating a story of Shrimad Bhagwat on Monday at Veera Lawn on Chhindwara Road.
He had said, "Whoever breaks the nation into pieces, how can he be the Father of the Nation? I oppose them. He is a deshdrohi (traitor)."
Congress had objected to the statement of Tarun Morari and submitted the memorandum to the Superintendent of Police in this matter, demanding registration of a case against Murari Bapu.
Superintendent of Police Narsinghpur, Vipul Srivastava told the media: "We saw the video. Case registered under Section 505 (2) and 153 B. Since there is less than 7 years of punishment in the matter as per CrPC Section 41A, we have sent a notice to Tarun Murari Bapu."
