The police stated that as the protest was done without any prior permission from the Delhi Police, a legal action will be initiated.
Jama Masjid’s Shahi Imam Ahmed Bukhari said no call was given for the protest. “I don’t know who the protesters are,” he said.
Earlier an FIR was also lodged against Nupur Sharma and several others for their alleged hate remarks during a debate on a TV news channel.

She further added, “One case has been registered against Nupur Sharma and another one has been registered against multiple social media entities based on the analysis. Notices will be sent to the social media intermediaries for the details,”
